Hi,

I'm glad this is moving ahead. I'm in Bombay till the 27th morning,
so I hope we can get something off the ground before then.

Allow me to react to this from Jvalant:

> I guess all this must be done without portraying ourselves as
left-leaning tree-huggers.

Why should we protest what's happening in Burma? Because it strikes
us as criminal and thuggish? Or because we may or may not "portray
ourselves", or be seen by others, in a certain way?

Or put it another way, when we raise our voice about something that
concerns us, do we make sure not to "portray ourselves" a certain way?

yours,
dilip.
