Balajee: I don't know if you are in the habit of reading the comments on my posts. Please see comment #5 on my last post, which is also directed at you.
Also, please gather from the comment that either you or I (or both) have been advised to just cool it. Pretty sane advice, if you ask me.

Thanks to you, Anons the world over can now post comments to my blogs.
And don't forget spammers the world over. They'll love you too.
*sneaky grin*
I've activated word verification on my comments page, so I'm hoping that the spammers can love me at a later point of time, after they figure out how to spam in this type of setting..
Bravo!
Balajee, at no point in time during our long association did I ever consider you anything less than terribly bright.
In fact, I will ask you to cast your mind back to our High School days and recall something.
Do you remember how sometimes a bunch of us in High School would huddle together, point in your direction from a distance, and whisper some stuff among ourselves. I bet you wondered what all that was about, eh? I'll tell you.
We were discussing a new name for you. We no longer wanted to call you Balajee. We wanted to call you Mr. Most-likely-to-suc. Which, in our juvenile unformed minds, stood for Mr. Most-Likely-To-Succeed. Children though we were, we knew genius when we saw it.
Of course, we never told you this. Because we didn't want you to go from being "bright" to being "bright and insufferable."
Also, we noted that you were quite a bit bigger than us. This, in turn, caused us the legitimate fear that you would misunderstand and that we'd get our little, darling, uppity asses kicked.
:-)
P.S. Let this be noted for the court's record. I still vehemently deny the rather serious charge that I was, in High School, rather elaborately and unkindly referred to as: Mr. Poopy-Pants-not-exactly-a-Towering-Genius-in-any-Sense-of-the-Word-and-definitely-not-Going-Anywhere-Meaningful-in-a-Hurry. It's a lie, a damn lie, I tell you.
Ah.. that's what that was.. As you would imagine, I occasionally get nightmares about that and wake up in a cold sweat. I was eventually going to get even with you and the others. There are more pressing candidates ahead of you though, like the guy who told some girls we used to call them the flat face troups.. I will get to you nevertheless. Incidentally, if you ever wondered how sometimes your navy blue pants and spotless-in-the-beginning-of-the-day blue sweater would get so messed up with chalk and other chewey substances, don't look at me..
Yes, I remember the flat face troupe! Ha, ha. I wonder what they called us. Maybe I don't wanna know.
BTW, even Dulai remembers Mrs. Sequeira. I was speaking to her (Dulai, not Mrs. Sequiera) this weekend and we were talking about you and then high school. She said, "Dada, do you remember that angry lady with white hair?" :-)
You guys have phenomenal memories BTW. Dulai remembers more stuff about school in Bahrain than I do. And she was only a cute little larva then.
Wasn't there some teacher we called Miss Grundy? Damned if I know what her real name was.
I thought her name was Ms. Grundy.. I could almost swear it. Or was it Mrs. Richard, who used to look like Ms. Grundy of Archies??
No, no, she wasn't actually called Miss Grundy, LOL. Please. She only looked like she had just jumped out of an Archie's book.
Yeah, she was called Mrs. Richards. Thanks for reminding me. Like I said, you have a great memory.
