Hello! Thanks for taking the time to visit my user page. I am quite active on wikipedia, and edit on a variety of articles. I am especially interested in articles about India and Kerala. I also contribute to the Malayalam and French wikipedia occasionally. You can know more about me at my user page

FYI...

The 2nd paragraph at Thiruvananthapuram needs to be changed back to:

With a population of 889,191 (as of 2001) it is the second biggest city in Kerala after Kochi. The city, being the State Capital houses many Central and State Government offices, organizations and companies. Apart from being the political nerve center of Kerala, it is also a major academic hub and houses several premier educational institutions including the Kerala University. Thiruvananthapuram is also home to many science and technology institutions, the most prominent being the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre(VSSC). The city also has the first Technopark of its kind in India. Situated near Kazhakutoom, this Technopark houses many of the leading software giants in the world.

Nandi. If this continues I'll request page protection. —Khoikhoi 06:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

LOL, I got those emails too! I love it how they say "this is not a Kochi promotion site", while the website that they're from is such a blatant Thiruvananthapuram promotion site. Aw jeez, looks like they reverted again. Should I contact an admin? —Khoikhoi 07:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm not Indian at all. I just typed in "Malayalam thank you" on Google. —Khoikhoi 07:02, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

You're right semi-protection wouldn't work, but full-protection would. Anyways, I think we should say something at WP:AN/I. I think I'll do that right now. :) —Khoikhoi 07:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I do not understand what the problem is. Under 2001 census, Trivandrum City Corporation Area has more population than Kochi City Corp Area. See the link that I have given in the TVM page.

If your only point of focus is to have some fun, please go ahead and have that. But let me and the others know, since you are vandalising the Trivandrum entry, and I would not want to waste my time. Please feel free to report it to anyone you like. - User:Rajeshdxb

Re: Largest city

Hi, if there is a distinction between the largest city and largest urban agglomeration in a state, both must be appropriately noted. Now, when we say largest city, we are talking about an area under the jurisdiction of one municipal corporation. Urban areas can have multiple municipal corporations. However, one must remember that not everyone who reads Misplaced Pages is able to make that distinction. It is important, therefore, to note both the largest city and largest UA, in case they are different.

Now, with regards to Kerala, I have updated the Infobox State IN template to accomodate both largest city and largest UA. I will add my notes to the talk page. Hope this helps. AreJay 19:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand your frustration. As someone who is on his third year here in Misplaced Pages, I can tell you, you're going to have to do battle with POV warriors from both sides of the pond. Many of these disputes end up ugly, but you have to do what you have to do to protect the integrity of the article. However, if someone is threatening you and getting personal, that is beyond the bounds of civility and you shouldn't let yourself take that kind of nonsense from other people. Simply report the matter to an administrator who is not involved in the dispute, ask for the page to be protected/semi protected and for the hecklers to be blocked. We have a great pool of active Indian admins who will be more than willing to help. I think you're doing a great job, so keep up the great work! AreJay 02:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Major cities

Hi, you have created the category "Category:Major Cities in India". There is another category called "Category:Cities_and_towns_in_India", which has got entries for places like Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore, whereas your category has got places like Cuttack and Guwahati ! How would you define major ? Can we delete this category and move the entries to "Cities_and_towns_in_India" ? Jay 05:08, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Map in Kochi page

I suggest you put a map which shows Trivandrum clearly --Altruist 07:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Now all right

Hello, Now I am all right. I am pasting a message below explaining my absence. Best regards.

"My dear friends, I regret that I could not notify you about my absence. Actually, I fell sick suddenly on the morning of 3rd April 2006, and was confined to bed and was not allowed Internet access. Now, I am more or less in "shape". The problem was very serious infection. I missed wikipedia and wikipedians for three long weeks, and I feel really sad… for first few days, I even dreamt of wikipedia! I think that in next few days, my wiki-life shall become normal. I thank you for the concern and care, I know wikipedians are the most active virtual community, and Misplaced Pages is Better than the Best." --Bhadani 10:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

And, Happy Easter - though so late. --Bhadani 10:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Baburaj

Hi. Thanks for the hello on my talk page. I found Baburaj tagged for wikification. I don't have much knowledge about Malayali singers. Can you expand the article or atleast wikify it when you get time? - Aksi_great (talk) 17:39, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Aaaarrggghhhh!!!

God! Check out Altruist's comment here. I find myself amazed that at times like these I'm still able to keep my cool. How are you doing? —Khoikhoi 00:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Kochi vs. Trivandrum

You might be interested in this. Utterly ridiculous, if you ask me. AreJay 01:56, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
