I love Poles, I had an officemate once ... wait a minute, I am sorry,
I love poles, especially when the sky is full of aurora *alis, wait again
I am sorry, I love polls. Here is my take on the recent poll:

Can I give VR5? No, no make it RV5. Wait a minute, I prefer
VR-5. [That is right, negative 5].

My point: Why is the world always seen as dichotomy? Why is it always
good vs bad? Black vs white? What happened to color, you know the
concept that makes the whole world bloom [not kaboom!!]? What happened
to the rainbow and the people walking to different drummers? What
happened to humour, that separates us from the rest of the animal
kingdom? What happened to self-lightenment (neologism of the day) that
can make things appear in their real perspective?

What happened to the caps-lock key? :-)

I am sorry that I exceeded the two line limit.

PS: There will be another post on me on this topic. I haven't yet
written it so the title is not yet fixed. But, what the heck, go ahead
and respond to me anyway. I love any discussion.

PPS: I hope you all take this post with a light sense of humour that
it deserves. Obviously. I mean, you all are too grown-up here to see
humour even when it bites your hind-legs.

PPPS: I am afraid that I may have been interpreted as being uncivil in
this post. No siree, I was merely being funny! If you don't see it, you
the reader, is at fault. Put more effort into it, is all I can advise.
(Of course, I am kidding, but since I was advised against the non-teluguness
of the puctuation marks used as road signs, I use them sparingly, and make
unnecessary paranthetic disclaimers.)
