Ashok,
Why are your thoughts so negetive ? Over the last few
days you have been sending mails which are filled with
negative thoughts only. It is good to be concerned but
at the same time one should keep monitoring own
thoughts. Thoughts can kill a person. I don't think I
have any right to advice you. I am sorry if you felt
offended by this mail.

Regards
Miki
