hahaha...captain, i welcome your inputs (as i always do). bc, my friend, over the years, i have come to realise that you've got to take what you are served in your plate, rather than whining and longing to sooth your hunger, it's not gonna help. even if i agree to remain skeptic about maoists, i will rather choose lesser of teh evils, which in my view are maoists. :P LooTe
