Dear Jaal,
Your site was picked from hundreds of Indian-related websites on the Internet for inclusion in the NavinMail affiliate program. NavinMail allows people to exchange voice messages with their friends and family internationally for the cost of a local phone call. It's like e-mail over the phone. Tens of thousands of people living in India and America are currently using NavinMail to stay closer to their family and save money on their long-distance bill.
Let me know if you are interested, and if so we can provide you with the banners necessary to begin.

Jaal: We dislike sending mail over the telephone; the envelope keeps getting stuck in the receiver.

Dear Jaal,
Thanks for the greetings and remembering. You are continuing the tradition of Swift, Twain, Paul Buhle, particularly Buhle, who made Left brand of humor his specialty and enlivened the dreary scene on the Left to the pleasure and enrichment of us all. Keep up the good work. Humor is what we need most, and it is in extremely short supply!
I most heartily Wish JAAL, and you all, a great time of felicity and fulfilment in the next century. Let 21st century herald a better millennium. I keep browsing your website. Best.

Jaal: We also aspire to the tradition of Don Martin, and especially that of the funniest folk in the country, our netalog.

Dear Jaal,
I am hosting and coordinating a not-for-profit, all-in-one resource Indian-Americans can turn to for information on current issues relevant to US-India relations.
It tracks the voting record of U.S. Senators and House Representatives on issues of importance to the people of India. It provides guidance on matters requiring positive action by US Congresspersons to strengthen India-America friendship and cooperation. It provides tools for building mainstream American opinion in favor of India. And, it includes direct links to current, relevant news stories and articles in online editions of Indian and US publications, updated several times a week.
Most important, Lobby for India makes it easy for the Indian American residing in any of the 435 Congressional districts, who is hard-pressed for time, to actively participate in contributing to the development of an on-going, strong bond between the US and India , literally by just clicking a few buttons.
When you find a little time, I would earnestly request you to browse through this site.

Dear Jaal,
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except Papa's mouse.
The computer was humming, the icons were hopping,
As Papa did last-minute Internet shopping.
The stockings were hung by the modem with care
In hope that St. Nicholas would bring new software.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of computer games danced in their heads.
PageMaker for Billy, and Quicken for Dan, And Carmen
Sandiego for Pamela Ann.
The letters to Santa had been sent out by Mom,
To santaclaus@toyshop.northpole.com -
Which has now been re-routed to Washington State
Because Santa's workshop has been bought by Bill Gates.
All the elves and reindeer have had to skedaddle
To flashy new quarters in suburban Seattle.
After centuries of a life that was simple and spare,
St. Nicholas is suddenly a new billionaire,
With a shiny red Porsche in the place of his sleigh,
And a house on Lake Washington that's just down the way
From where Bill has his mansion. The old fellow preens
In black Gucci boots and red Calvin Klein jeans.
The elves have stock options and desks with a view,
Where they write computer code for Johnny and Sue.
No more dolls or toy soldiers or little toy drums
No more dolls or tin soldiers or little toy drums
Will be under the tree, only compact disk ROMS
With the Microsoft label. So spin up your drive,
From now on Christmas runs only on Win95.
More rapid than eagles the competitors came,
And Bill whistled, and shouted, and called them by name.
"Now, ADOBE! now, CLARIS! now, INTUIT! too,
Now, APPLE! and NETSCAPE! you are all of you through,
It is Microsoft's SANTA that the kids can't resist,
It's the ultimate software with a traditional twist -
Recommended by no less than the jolly old elf,
And on the package, a picture of Santa himself.
Get 'em young, keep 'em long, is Microsoft's scheme,
And a merger with Santa is a marketer's dream.
To the top of the NASDAQ! to the top of the Dow!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away - wow!"
And Mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
The whir and the hum of our satellite platter,
As it turned toward that new Christmas star in the sky,
The SANTALITE owned by the Microsoft guy.
As I sprang from my bed and was turning around,
My computer turned on with a Jingle-Bells sound.
And there on the screen was a smiling Bill Gates
Next to jolly old Santa, two arm-in-arm mates.
And I heard them exclaim in voice so bright,
Have a MICROSOFT CHRISTMAS, and
TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.
Sunit Katkar (sunitkatkar@yahoo.com)
Jaal: In keeping with that spirit, Happy Windows 2000 all.
