[kalyan chakravarthy]

Namaste Sri Raviji,

Oops.... I am very sorry. I already added two replies today to this thread 
before noticing your mail.

You may remove the two earlier replies given by me from the archives. And 
from my side, the thread ends here.

Thank you for your understanding. And sorry once again if my mails offended 
you or anyone else.

Best Regards
Kalyan
