    Sudhu:
    This was an email forward which I just pasted here. I don’t have any idea about the sources.

    I had mentioned [e-mail from Sandhya] in the beginning of the post. But because of some formating error it appears in font size 1 or 0.5. It’s there at the beginning in the form of a gray line. See, if it’s visible.

    Pradeep:
    As I told Sudhu, it’s an email forward. But yeah, I agree with you if we had the name of the publication and the dates the post would have been more grounded. As of now, it does provide great humour, doesn’t it?! :)
