That's a new one. :-)

There are exceptions to every story. Fanatics roam the world. Even then, this is the only place I know and can speak from how I see it. It's not that everyday we hear of religious violence. Moreover I prefer to thank God for small mercies and acknowledge that he is indeed giving me a fair amount of freedom in practicing my religion.

Just claim insanity. The govt should help you from then on. I know cases where thieves and murders claim insanity putting the shrinks and lawyers in a fix. You could try that. but not until you've paid my 100 bucks.

How about a Fraizer from India..... over the phones.... I could get you connected. that would be a 100 bucks brotha.

15 at that time. And now..... do you need/want another round of consultation. I could try getting you a discount.

Poor victims like you. No wonder he became the best. I should'ave warned you earlier. Sorry!

Zodiac,Here in India we are one billion people, and even a small minority could mean about a million people. So Christians do occupy a large portion, enough to engulf you in your neighbourhood. Both, in Kerala and here in Goa, there's a huge Christian population that I don't see sadhus walking about on my way to work (infact a huge miraculous church is right opposite the institute), or even hear a single muslim call over a loud speaker. Believe it or not, that's not how we see it here, though its painted like that across the seas. India is very tolerant to religions, and you would be surprised to find the world's largest christian retreat centre here in India, in my state - Kerala, and pretty close to where my home is. What we call it here, though, is 'unity in diversity'. So there's no such thing as a non-christian country. Its more like a multi-religious country. Maybe I could take your tip and turn this into a piece of art someday. Thanks.

Did you check out his journals and see if he became rich? Your name could do wonders.

That was a psychologist. Try having a round with a psychiatrist.

Ha ha ha..... Shrink he is! He says that its because of me he's landed up here. While I say that I'm his bystander, and that he's the patient who claims to be a doc. All the same, he's the one who signed me onto this site, posting my first poem here. I suppose he plans to study characters like you (through my membership) and then present a paper on his study. Look out for your name in the International journals of Psychiatry. You could be famous. Think about it....your path to fame.......

You been to Shimla, or to India for that matter?

I've been to Shimla last year and shivered terribly even with the umpteen amount of clothing and sitting near the heaters. Didn't even venture out into the knee deep snow, to keep myself alive..... and still returned with a lung infection.... can't think how one can tolerate cold for long. I still love the snow, though.

Alaska? What's up with you in Alaska.... in winter? Huh, I'm feeling chill here with a mild mild winter, and to hear of someone going to Alaska freezes me. Or is is that cold as I imagine it to be?

Lol. ha ha ha. My previous statement was put as a tease, though not entirely wrong. I live in the hospital campus, at the side of the hospital. My husband is a psychiatrist, and I am surrounded by about 15 others who work next door. We live in the resident doctors' hostel, this place known as 'the Institute of psychiatry and Human Behaviour' and not called a Mental Hospital. See.... I don't know anyone personally, but am trying to know them indirectly.

Guess what, zodiac.......

I live in a Mental Hospital surrounded by schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, depression, OCD, anxiety, alcoholism, substance used disorders, etc. Trust me.... I know more about schizophrenia than you'll ever know.
