A curious thing was how lately i had been thinking about the same class issues ... maybe our Clocks that were set in Topi had something to do with it :) . Talking of the ``small world``, you were right on the money. I hope you carry on writing.

peace.

I do not understand that when a society cannot build a healthy and efficient community in real world then how can it buid an efficient community in the cyber-world - it is simply not possible. Just take a look around you at this community called Chowk. With some scarce and miniscule exceptions (me included), it just reflects the pathetic and sorry state of our real life existence as a society. What could have been the the cauldron of ideas and interaction is a sorry goop of our inherent ugliness. There are no shortcuts in life.
