'Matlab' what? Do you speak means what?"<br /><br />And then I felt really silly because not only did I completely space it, but my husband is a geophysicist and spent four years of his life working with Matlab.<br /><br />But anyway. Congrats on the Hindi undersanding, and also on not confusing "Matlab" with the transliterated "matlab."Laurahttp://zombiedrag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-74969857029441471182010-07-18T16:20:32.695-04:002010-07-18T16:20:32.695-04:00Yeah, you figured it out!Yeah, you figured it out!Ambaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928793933638999583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-23280674227686049922010-07-18T13:11:18.478-04:002010-07-18T13:11:18.478-04:00Oh that is for Sita's comment about Xtians :)Oh that is for Sita's comment about Xtians :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-72825745415087078162010-07-18T11:14:11.458-04:002010-07-18T11:14:11.458-04:00Aamba,

The above evangelist's Daughter -in-law is the opposite in Character and behaviour;so i understand that a religion has only so much part in shaping our character and behaviour.I does not mean everything is based on the religion only.<br />In India, the way they use religion to change the demography of an area,and the subsequent power struggle it leads to makes me suspect the Christian and Muslim Agenda.Amongst Hindus ,it is not done under the lable of Religion but under other headings-some times Caste,sometimes,Socioeconomic status,sometimes Mothertongue/native language. So that the Indian scenario in a nut-shell!.Sitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874827165185726459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-91862865396351103822010-07-17T21:37:19.636-04:002010-07-17T21:37:19.636-04:00I will admit, I do get aggressive in my belief and...I will admit, I do get aggressive in my belief and I'm the first to force Christians and Muslims to acknowledge the existence of other paths, but never violence. <br /><br />But yeah, it is very important to me that Hinduism continue and that the beautiful Indian culture not be lost.<br /><br />Thanks, Anonymous, I had previously read the We Are All Hindus Now article and this was an interesting take on it. I might have to write about that.Ambaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928793933638999583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-9225476317563814392010-07-17T13:25:13.219-04:002010-07-17T13:25:13.219-04:00Hi Aamba,

But In kali yuga , with Barbaric Islam and deceitful Christianity in action, if one wants to save his culture and belief - little bit of aggression is needed.<br /><br /> “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.” — Karl Popper, British philosopherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-18558631623162852262010-07-17T10:50:47.042-04:002010-07-17T10:50:47.042-04:00Good for you, Aamba!
