Welcome, Tata Prasad

I was going to post the following intro for Tata Prasad, but in his
inimitable way, the result of his "nATakAla picci", he made an entrance
onto the stage, before the character was properly introduced. In any
case, belated as it might be, here it goes:

I have been reminded that new members are joining the group, w/o
short introductions. I have been remiss in doing some of that.
In some cases, it didn't matter. Many new members haven't posted
anything. Of course, quite a few "charter" members haven't posted
either. I hope that they are at least reading the stuff.

Here is a celebrated old, new-comer. For many of you who have read SCIT,
Tata Prasad is an old friend. He is not the calm, cool, collected type.
Controversy suits him like the two-T's in his last name, whic is "tAtA",
not "TA-TA", as in adios!

Whenever SCIT became dull and boring, you could count on tAtA prasAd
to introduce a topic that would awaken hibernating posters. Take any
topic, he could find an angle that would provoke people from both
sides of the issue. Be in the middle of the road, and risk getting
run over.

Say whatever here in this forum, don't say anything in less than
exalted terms about vijayanagaram. You have been warned!

Welcome tAtA N. V. (vijayanagaram biDDa!) prasAd! We have missed you
for the last (about) six months.
