karma, I don't see any jatra here. By the way, have you ever read him before? It seems like you haven't read this particular article either. I just see it as an expression of a well read, vocal and prolific writer on being denied to visit one another country. No Jatra, nothing hilarious. Talking about guts, he is not a sajha incognito to go stupidly extreme. Read him and you will find out what he has to say about in the areas of your concern. Anyway, if you do read him and this is what you fel about him. Nothing bad about that. I respect your preferences. Dev
