>and happy Martin Luther King day for those in the USA,
says Bapa Rao (of course, they are his views, which goes w/o saying)

How does one have a happy MLK day? What are the required rituals,
and (the obligatory) pinDi vanTalu? Wouold he elaborate?

Quite a few years ago, I saw a PBS parody, where this guy in a very
loud sports coat is advertising his wares for MLK day. (He is black, BTW)

We have a huge "WHITE" sale, in honor of Martin Luther King!

We have sheets in twin, queen, and "KING" size!

Suddenly I realize that this post has zilch to do with the aims,
objectivesintent and mandate - in short, the terms of engagement
of this halcyon group.I may be excused, for this transgression,
only after palana has been excused for his treatise on the cow.

The first line of that reminded me of the lament of the boy who said,
"I did write a composition on the cow, but the bus driver wouldn't
allow me to bring the animal to school on the bus!"
