Aaare bhai, how can Prashad find Ma Saraswati. Didn't these FOIL and FOSA fight in California to keep Saraswati OUT of textbooks? After the CA edits episode was warped up, Prashad suddenly remembered Saraswati? Is he turning into a Hindutvadi. <!--emo&:blow--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Your gig's up Vijay, maybe you are impressing those misguided FOIL and FOSA Hindus who still lend you their ear, you ain't fooling anyone here.
