I don't think there's any need to wonder - You KNOW they are frustrated losers who are venting.;-)<BR/><BR/>One concerned reader wrote me privately and said they didn't think I should cheapen my blog by complaining about the harassment. But I want people to know the harassment is real and I am not exaggerating.Sirensongs: Indologist At Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101429745244414871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-39218306448674875782008-01-26T11:48:00.000-06:002008-01-26T11:48:00.000-06:00It's true, I am shocked at the levels of hate I fi...It's true, I am shocked at the levels of hate I find in some of these men. It's always men. I wonder whether the cloak of anonymity that the internet brings helps them to say things they cannot say, except perhaps to their like-minded friends. <BR/><BR/>I am worried because things are only going to get worse. Indian women are doing so much better - in education, in the workplace. They can afford to more selective in their choice of partners. The skewing sex ratio also does not help. I wonder if these trolls are frustrated losers who are venting.Lekhnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898770208146949121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-61246198611458840412008-01-22T16:51:00.000-06:002008-01-22T16:51:00.000-06:00Nice flickr Page;-)Nice flickr Page;-)ERASEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197929494622212152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-85183833399655811042008-01-22T09:54:00.000-06:002008-01-22T09:54:00.000-06:00Give us some background(at least from the dalai la...Give us some background(at least from the dalai lama's corner) of the various sects associated(the hats, the taras, the pali/sanskrit/tibetan scriptures) with these rituals..<BR/><BR/>what's not to like about parochial mamas boys from south asia?The'll sit where they are put (like a chettiar doll in a golu). all they need is some curd rice and for you to rub their sweaty bellies once in a while..<BR/><BR/>;)chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00557968394370176590noreply@blogger.com
