"bahut honest admi lagta hain..bilkul fraud nahin..apna abdul kalam jaisa"

:) Overheard by?
BTW, here's a fantastic stylistic analysis of Obama's victory speech:

Shhh..trade secrets are not to be disclosed!
Thanks for the article..this is a most interesting dimension.
Obviously the woman in question was not a voter....our voters an never figure out who's a fraud and who isn't..... :-)

heh.Some things never change and all eh?
Prasanth I like the idea of talking about things overheard.
I often spend lots of time thinking about context and the disconnect between the moment of hearing and thinking about the meaning.
I wanted to stop by and say thanks for your kind words of support at my spot.
I appreciate it very much.
I will be looking in here still and in time will be back on the blog again, I think.
For now, keep writing and I will keep reading.
Peace brother!
