     Hello,
     
     My apologies for not responding to the Take it easy comments 
     (flames:-)).  I don't know whether there are any more follow-up 
     flames.  I will read them after I reach back to my office in 10 days.
     
     1.  Sri P. Srinivas's excellent, Tenali RamaliMga kavi's style of 
     message has troubled me, really.  It just reminds me the "tilakAshTa 
     mahishabaMdhanaM" story of RamaliMga :-) NO OFFENCE.
     
     Srinivasgaru, you just, like an evalanche, launched/bombarded me with 
     those many questions related to sanskrit literature.  I can answer 
     only this much:- "how on earth I can dig all those books?"
     
     telugulO aDaganA? "tala tAkaTTupeTTukoni parAyidESAlalO paDi tirigE 
     nAku adi sAdhyapaDE panEnA?" 
     
     Neither I have books, nor I have time to do that research.  Perhaps, 
     sometime in future, may be my nextlife, I will do all that. 
     
     Anyway, you sounded as if you did know a lot about all those writers. 
     Atleast the way you put questions sounded that way.  So I would 
     request you to please write about all that.  I will be happy to learn 
     something that I am not aware of.
     
     2. You asked "mahASayA you want to publish this in future?"
     
     Answer: YES... adi oka mahA ASayaMu.  Indeed, I have collected all 
     that notes in order to write.  May be I will take 20 more years to 
     publish :-) See I have to first get the answers to the questions put 
     by you and other like minded people.  "kALidAsa must have written it"  
     - this is my first hypothesis.  Scholars sometimes work on personal 
     hatred is my second hypothesis.  Let me see I might be wrong.  Ones I 
     get answers to my personal questions I will go for publishing the 
     book.
     
     3. pillipadyaMmeeda alaMkArAlu : nijAniki adi oka cATuvu.  Anyway, 
     wait for my letter I might write something about it.
     
     4.  I have decided to stop posting articles regarding alaMkAramulu on 
     TELUSA.  This has got nothing to do with the flames.  It is my 
     personal decission.  
     
     
     Thanks for bearing with me.
     
     Kind Regards 
     Madhav
     
     P.S: Dear Sundari, please forward all my personal mail to Moscow.
     I am there tomorrow.  Here is the E-Mail: madhava@memrb.msk.su
