I am a post-graduate in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kanpur, after doing graduation in the same subject from IIT Kharagpur. I was employed with ONGC and superannuated as General Manager in 2011 from Mumbai, my current place of residence. I consider it a privilege to be of any assistance to those who can ill afford even the routine neccesities of life. It pains me when people try to attribute reasons or motives behind help rendered to unrelated people. I go miles to attend good musical and dance programmes and have developed a good ear/eye for the same. I have a collection of more than a thousand music albums and keep on adding at the rate of about ten per month. Indian Classical Music and Dance Bengali Music (Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti, Adhunik etc.) Devotional Music Old Hindi Music (All the above, as a discerning listener/spectator only) Net Surfing Photography Palmistry Books and Encyclopedias English Language (Dictionary & Thesaurus)

Dear Parkar, I endorse the views that judgement of quality on the basis of number of SMS's, and multiple ones at that, from same cell numbers is a fraud on talent and is a racket in itself.
