Home Alone was a terrific article. It made me recall my experiences with this great city of Bombay. Here I was just like anybody else you mentioned, in this huge metro with no one to pick me at the railway station. But I was definitely more fortunate than most of the guys you named -- I had a job in Reliance and the company took care of accommodation. But I still didn't know anybody in the city. I really enjoyed the short time I stayed in this city where time seems to move very fast. I had to leave Bombay for better opportunities in the US where I had to start it all over again. But sometimes I do regret having to leave Bombay. Ravi Yigalapati

I don't know whether this article is printed in any newspaper the lower middle class can access. I hope it is. I concluded from the article that going to big cities is not such a dicey deal. But you should have ended stating, "If you have a firm financial background or good links, chances are better that you will achieve your goal" trivedi@asu.edu

The report is very interesting. Difficult to believe that the person I saw in Star Trek and subsequently as a leading model in various ads would go on to actually profile the most beautiful women of India. Speaks for that inner strength in a person which is bound to surface at sometime or the other. Would need to look at the book and see whether all the "Venuses" are properly represented.

This article is very good. I am looking for a list of Miss Indias. But I couldn't find it any where on the web. Can you please publish the list of Miss India's from 70's. Venkat. I'm sorry, Venkat, we do not have that information. But it is available in the book.

I was quite pleased to read your appraisal of Modesty Blaise. I am in Padmanabhan's age group and grew up being impressed by Blaise and Garvin. In fact, I worked very hard to learn to throw a knife from a shoulder in the fashion described by PoD. Of some interest is the fact that as a career soldier in an Australian Army recce platoon I was able to incorporate one of their unarmed combat approaches into our training program, namely the use of "externals'' in fighting. I offer this just to reinforce the notion that PoD was quite sophisticated in his formulation of the series. It is quite interesting regarding the feminist perspective because I have often thought of her in that capacity. I used to read Blaise under the covers in a Catholic boarding school much to the nun's angst. At present my wife is doing the field work for a PhD in Thailand and she being both an academic and feminist in the staunchest New Zealand Scottish tradition I intend introducing Modesty to her.

I think bands in India try to be like their western counterparts. Instead of being wannabes, they must carve a niche for themselves, investing time and attention to find what an average Indian teenager would rather listen to, and then to play music accordingly, demanding it if they want the money. Otherwise, they'll remain stuck playing at rock concerts. They have to remember that there are millions of small bands all over the world who want to become a Metallica, a Pearl Jam etc but that dedication and hard work really succeeds.

Great work , you guys, for bringing up the issue of the most innocent victims in the whole AIDS drama. Kids are beautiful...and the images of these little things being treated so callously by their moms and dads is haunting. The article is thought-provoking and very, very appreciated.

To the team who made this article possible -- thank you. You guys bring us information, which we just pass by in our daily lives. It was an eye-opener and an awakening message, a promise to solve the problem is made. Viral.

Hi, Zeenat Aman is the most gorgeous heroine that ever happened to step into Bollywood. I'm very happy that I could know more about her apart from her film career through your feature. Yaji.

Suzzanne is very charming. And Juhi, an enchantress woman.

The title sounded interesting. The column is obscure to the point of non-communication. The author may be a poet and enjoy complex interrelations of words, but in a column it just didn't make sense.

Rubbish. Absolute rubbish.

I think it's ridiculous having these kind of bans that show one's distrust of students. A college could have made this rule if girls were dressing indecently and had been warned several times and not because of a few incidents. It's outrageous.

I truely enjoyed your feature on this subject. I especially liked reading about the older Miss Indias (40's & 60's). The pictures were great. I hope you do more on books such as this and some articles on old Bollywood stars from the 50's and 60's. We do have a nostalgia section on Hindi film stars -- it's called Memories!
