Let me jump in here to introduce myself as well. I joined the group a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't aware that we were supposed to introduce ourselves -- apologies for that.
I'm a Mumbai-based writer, and I run a website called India Uncut ( http://www.indiauncut.com). I also freelance for a range of people, and have written for the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, and various Indian papers. I also write a weekly column for the newspaper, Mint. I've enjoyed the quality of conversations on this group in the few days that I've lurked here, and a couple of your members, Madhu Menon and Gautam John, are close friends. Thanks you for having me, and welcome Dhiren, sorry for hijacking your thread! Cheers Amit On 6/5/07, Deepa Mohan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Welcome Dhiren, You don't know what you have let yourself in for....the list has just had a discussion on the game theory of leaving the toilet seat up or down...or something to that effect. Don't worry about engaging with folks, there have been high-profile marriages and divorces, too, apparently, though the list seems highly respectable lately... Deepa.
