Hi Manuvilasan,   Its easy changing stance, isn't it?   The opening paragraph of your first mail clearly says "Regional approach is utmost at Bangalore".Utmost!!!!   With what are you comparing?What is your benchmark?   Then you go on and cite the example of number plates which is, technically correct. I must admit that now, and the points put forward by Rahul so beautifully made me understand the statutory significance of a number plates (Thanks Rahul and no,my blood didn't ,doesn't  and wouldn't curdle.Go on!Express yourself!)   Manuvilasan you should carefully use your superlatives and check tonality in all your prose.Especially when you are writing to a large and thinking forums such as CC.   Your first mail drips of some disguised hatred about Bangalore and its people. I felt it and many of the caustic repliers might have sensed it too.   Good research there!You dropped some names like Vatal Nagaraj ,I would not pay much attention to it because in last elections he has lost his deposit.   Obiviously you are not Mr Current affairs.   We know how to control people like Nagraj otherwise he would have got elected and I am sure if I sit in front of my Google or wiki browser I will find out one Kerala politician whose agenda is, if not exactly same but on the same lines as of Mr V Nagaraj.   People like Nagaraj are found  distributed in any  random collection of masses.You can't hold it against us.   (Or we will hold Mr Achyutanandh against you)   Yes if he gets elected again I am sure my fellow bangalorites and I will make sure that his activities are under check.   Also your reply came when Amit (again good reply Amit) became upfront about things which are true and thus hit you where it hurts.   What is it that Amit said which made you reply again and failrly quickly? Regional pride? Communal pride?   I don't think you are a stateless entity/ actor. I do think, you had an agenda when you wrote that mail.   Also ,I am a Kanadiga  huduga but I am tolerant when things make sense and when they are put forward nicely.I want harmony and peace with all the communities co existing at Bangalore.If there is something wrong do point out but while doing so don't write agenda/propaganda mails.   Rahul- I agree with most of your points. Thank you for such a nice reply.   Manuvilasan-Please don't use bad tone and superlatives at wrong places.   Warmest Regards Abhijeet Dudhagi
