Dear Swamys
I think during our discussions some one is pulling Sri Velukudi and Sri
Sampath Swamy for no reasons. Though I know Sri VK swamy is unbiased he is
being pulled for getting some mileage. I would request that beacause of our
mails we should not put others in fray. Pl correct me in this if I went
wrong..

Best Regards
