Re: Indian Economy: News and Discussion (Apr 1 2011)
^^^somnath-ji, why do you get provoked so easily. Don't you see that it is a deliberate attempt to rile you up. I shall post later on the proof techniques of the ayatollahs of the Mylapore School of Economics. Trust me the parallels with Rajnikanth's antics are mindboggling
