A friend of mine asked me to post this. I feel since there are many Indians here are on this net it is the best I can do for him. (All flames to /dev/null. If you are amused I am happy to have brought some fun into your life. I really am not interested in starting a discussion on this topic) She is 26 yrs old and is finishing up her Ph. D in Physics in India. She is 5' 6'' fair and good-looking. He specifically mentioned that caste and language are no bar. (They are Brahmins and speak Kannada at home.) If you respond to me I will get you in touch with my friend.

Me too, I withhold my flame. But I will try a related topic: Pretty soon I can imagine the following appearing in nlang.india ``Wanted: Green card holder for 21 year old, domesticated, fair, BSc graduate". Arggg. Besides, I forgot to mention the dowry amount. Here is another topic worth pursuing. Guess what, living here can make one think that all's well everywhere, till I heard that dowry is not dead but very alive - here in the US. The difference is that the amount is smaller - by a factor of at least ten - you see a dollar is over ten rupees, the demands sensibly enough are in the local currency. Any one have opinions about this? How many (guys) have decided that this is evil and will not support it in any way and try to change as many minds as possible when they visit the homeland? How many (girls) have decided the same? Any success stories? Or does everyone think this issue is dead and gone? bala Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place Where we really want to go, And we'll walk in the sun But till then tramps like us Baby we were born to run -- Bruce Springsteen, 1974
