Dear Kamal, why don't you take up the topic of Mahabharata. The famout scene from the battlefield where Arjuna was learning lessons from Lord Krishna thru his "shloks". This way you will even tell those American people that how sacred are these "shloks" for us which they have used in such a dirty movie "Eyes Wide Shut". Tell them the real meaning of these wordings and give the message of peace and harmony to all the world from India. You can find more information about Lord Krishan on the internet, you'll have to search it in Yahoo or Altavista Satyam Raj

Dear Mr. Kamal Singh, Tirukkural of Tamil literature is the best among many clearly explaining about the Culture of Tamilians belonging to the period 2000 years ago. However, the preachings in Tirukkural are still valid today. If you can give me 10 day's time (i.e. upto 30th Septmber, 1999), I can send you an article with the messages from Tirukkural suited to the age group you have mentioned through this email itself. I, therefore, would appreciate if you could inform me your mailing address. Yours sincerely, K. Varatharajan, Scientific Officer(E), Materials Science Division, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam - 603 102, Tamilnadu, India.
