Dear Prof Gopi, We do appreciate the difficulties and problems and
pressures that you have to cope with... and the reasons for the time-gap
in the announcements on the RMS visit are entirely understandable,
specially in hind-sight.

There is a big problem: doers don't communicate (usually) and
communicators (like myself!) don't do anything much!

How do we bridge this gap? 

We do understand your busy schedule. But my feeling is that we in India
tend to communicate a little less than we should be doing (I don't mean
only you, but generally).

Can all of us on this list try and communicate a bit more regularly with
one another? FN
