On why not to shop at Select CITYWALK, Saket

Neither does this blend with the spirit of India nor does it make economic sense because of the
1. Skewed sex-ratio
2. Patriarchal society

PS: I so hope that the Left comes across this piece of information.

Of PG and SLEWG

Pride
Gluttony
Sloth
Lust
Envy
Wrath
Greed

These are the seven deadly sins according to the Bible which when committed destroy the life of grace unless confessed or forgiven.

Just one question though: How many of the landmark achievements in the history of mankind (and womankind) can you recall which can be claimed to be free from these 'sins'? How many great men (and women) can you recall who remained aloof of these 'sins'? How far would the human civilization have progressed had it abstained itself from these 'sins'?

Would you personally prefer the above to the below?

Humility
Faith and Temperance
Zeal
Self control
Love
Kindness
Generosity

ALSO: Vivekanand spoke for 72 hours non-stop on "Zero"

Labels: envy, faith and temperance, generosity, gluttony, greed, humility, kindness, love, lust, pride, self control, sloth, vivekanand, wrath, zeal

Hats off to IITD....... Finally (phew!) It has done it.... better late than never.... provided email addresses based on the names to students... no more waiting endlessly for the HTML version of gmail to load.... while the other IIT's (all?) had done it quite some time back.....

nd then IITD claims to be the best?

PS: Logon to http://10.10.1.5 and the best parts of it is that
1. you can use your favourite browser (Mozilla Firefox)
2. and also the mails are getting delivered immediately (atleast for now)

...........Why do I start feeling like I really belong here?

my apping had been more fruitful had this thing happened two years back...
