why this focus on verghese kurien and not other stalwarts who have died in the recent past? you think we are not able to aptly focus and need your crass hocus pocus? would that be because he is syrian christian?

your post would have been a work of considerable literary merit, had you only been able to work the word "locus" into it.

What's the pun intended? I don't get it. Rasik, will you please come again? (When I was in college in America, I used to sometimes have difficulty understanding the americanized accents of these american girls. I used to interrupt them and say, 'excuse me, will you please come again...' And they'd wince at me and say, ' Are you kiddin? not here!', every time, every bloody single time they'd say this. Often I was tempted to shout at them, 'If not here then where, where, tell me!', but I don't know what held me back. And then when I asked someone what the girls meant by 'not here'? I was told that they, in fact, punned. But I never got it. I mean what fun is a pun rasik if meaning there is none. What good is all this lund fund when my mun only wants to run but no one will explain, no one will come again and my sorry head goes tun tana tun, O darn, take a gun, shoot me, pun and paan, hun and hahn, bun and bahn (chod), sun and saand (bull!), run and raand (whore!), gun and gaand (yeeech!) and all antu parantus, kintu vintus, iska matlab kiya hai, uska sandhi karo, iska translation nikalo anubadh karo aunbadham prastoot karo, hamein angrezi sikhao) Shorry pholks feeling phlippant again. It's the cough syrup this time, no doubt.

thanks! i tried getting the dvd yesterday but couldn't. nice to hear i can watch it on youtube (i never saw manthan). btw, the donation was rs 2 not rs 1. all the cooperative members were given a choice -- take rs 2 less and become a producer.
