Nick,

I didn't know that you read the blogs on Sulekha. I write there occasionally on politics in South Asia as well as on old relationships with some girlfriends from a long time ago and they recently sent me some really nice gifts and interviewed me as well from their office in Texas. I had missed this particular post, but Sulekha has thousands of bloggers and it is impossible to read every new post there.

Thanks for posting this link. I now have a reputation to uphold after the discussion above.

Sad, but the only place where I agree with the posters on that thread is where they say that the tiger is certain to become extinct in India. In the past week, three Asiatic Lions have also been poached. Today's India is, unfortunately, a wilderness basket case.
