Hello Bhadani! I have read that articles from India Today you have sent to me. It was very interesting to read about problems of contemporary India. I have another question about India for you. How about football in India? It is the most popular sport in all over the world. But I think your national team is quite poor, it is quite surprising for population of over 1 billion. Bahrain with 500,000 people plays better :). Also I haven't seen too many sportspeople from India at the Olympics etc. Why? :) Note for other Indian Wikipedians watching this page: You can answer me too. :) - Darwinek20:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Hello, thanks for the formatting: . I was trying to do that - but you won! At least, it gave me an opportunity to come here. Regards. --Bhadani 3 July 2006 (UTC)
BTW, are you really crazy? Hahahhha. . --Bhadani 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Bhadani, for your support in my RfA. I appreciate your trust and support, and I will do my best to further help this great encyclopædia and community of ours. If there is anything that you feel I can do to help, please let me know. -- Avi03:39, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
The "curry style" of my city! Yes. But how do you know? The dish you sent me is equally good. Thank you! --Bhadani16:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
My wife's best friend's family is from Chennai and her mother and grandmother make a complete spread whenever we are in town. I am refering to the dish that they call "chicken Madras," which they only make for guests, as they are all vegetarian. I gain about two kilos whenever I am there. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 16:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Gaining weight! Had I been around, this vegetarian Bhadani would have also served you Chicken Madras on 4th July - the day of celebrations! --Bhadani16:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

"India-Indian"
Hi Bhadaniji - there is an issue on the usage of "India-Indian" with respect to modern Republic of India and India the region. Please weigh in again here. We're trying to make absolutely sure that there is a general agreement. This Fire Burns.....Always 06:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
My reply copied from his page: I would like to participate in the discussion, but I would not do that as several wikipedians may impute motives to the discussion, particularly those who edit here with an agenda and have almpost zero knowledge about India except that more Hindus live in india than persons of other religions. Regards. --Bhadani15:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I disagree, Bhadaniji. As a prominent editor, you should actively participate and set an example. How else are the rest of us to improve? Please cite your views to help us reach a consensus. We've all been quite frank about the sensitive issue, so your views will be unhindered. This Fire Burns.....Always 15:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Nirav, I thank you once again for requesting me to participate in the issue. i am aware of the discussion and the type of lobbying being conducted (). Please try to understand that I can not compete with editors who are here to destroy the credibility of wikipedia. I am a simple mortal doing a little edits here and there - let the big editors decide big issues! I have only one concern: they should not decide the matter in a way which causes the "virtual death' of wikipedia on a long term basis. However, I am sure that black sheep amongs us shall not survive for long. Regards. --Bhadani15:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
No Bhadaniji you misunderstand user:Spasage. He's not lobbying AE - I did have a long dialogue with him, and he's doing the same thing I did when I invited you to join the discussion. Besides, fears should not prevent you from doing the right thing and participating. If you start defining "big editors," etc, you will only be giving in to them. This Fire Burns.....Always 15:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Let the big editors become bigger, but they shall not be able to kill wikipedia! Smaller wikipedians like me beleonging to a poor country shall continue to strive in a small but significant way to keep the credibility of wikipedia alive. I once again thank you for your request. However, I shall not participate in the discussion as I know that truth does not depend on the consensus. Regards. --Bhadani16:03, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I missed your birthday party. Already over 2 weeks ago. I wish you all the best. (from his page). --Bhadani16:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Everybody missed my bday party! No fault of their own - I returned from my Wikibreak on June 25, and only then decided to post the date, though with no intention to attract attention. I was very pleased, during my RfA and now this, to know how many good friends I have here - makes me very thankful! This Fire Burns.....Always 16:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
A message from a friend
Dear Friend; perhaps you should read about POV And NPOV in books also, dont take wikipedia as god's rule, ciao:):)iquadri09:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Adab my dear friend. I do fully agree with you. I will try to remain in touch with you and learn more about POV and NPOV. However, while doing edits here we have to conform to the wikipedian views of the POV and NPOV. Now, let us all work together to build a nice wikipedia, reflective of the truth. Regards. (my reply copied from his page). --Bhadani15:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Amazing
I paste below two amazing links and my response to them.
The links: Thank you Re: &
Hello Queen, I thank you for reverting the nasty edits from a nice person on my page. Had it been there it would not have made much difference, as some people are prone to give in to anger very soon, particularly when they do not understand that the reason for acting in any particular way. Actually, they are "uneducated" persons and require sympathy. May God Bless them and their parents who raised such brilliant kids! --Bhadani11:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
My further advice to my dear friend who does not know the use of proper words: . Such provocative comments are not going to deter me or any other true wikipedian from building the Project. --Bhadani11:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
re:Monday
Hello. Monday shall be the beginning of the second year of your wiki-life. I wish you all the best to you! --Bhadani13:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your wishes. I remember you greeting me on my real-life birthday before with some Laddus (sp) Laddu. Your consistant. :D — The King of Kings 14:09 July 09 '06
Interesting... so it seems that u think that the anonymous user was me.. Well frankly, i live in a student residence where there are 2 computers and both have used by all students.. so i dont know who used it and left whatever comments.. Anyway.. its interesting in the sense.. that i had in the past some problems with the same ip address using my comments and manipulating them.. so i guess it seems i will hafta see that.. as for my user profile being changed by that ip.. i didnt knew.. i usually do not get a lot of time to spend on wikipedia and dont know too much about its options and facilities. However, rest assured, it wasn't me..But since i use the same computer.. i will c how to resolve the problem..
ciao

Interesting, as also disgusting! It is amazing to note that both you and the other person editing from that location come to the same pages. --Bhadani15:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Thankyou so much for your RfA offer. I would love to give it a go, but I think it would be best to wait a couple of weeks. I have a lot on at the moment and I think it would be best to wait until I have enough time to focus on it properly. I really appreciate your offer, it was really nice. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, I noticed you made some comments on the article's talkpage about the edit wars on the Bhumihar article. I'd just like to alert you to the fact that there's a similar issue over at the Khatri page. As you rightly state, pages like this affect the encyclopedia's credibility. Most of the articles on the Indian subcastes are pretty terrible, anyhow. They're overly long and full of rubbish. Oh well, just thought I'd let you know. Cheers! — riana_dzasta • t • c15:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the message. I feel happy talking with you. You are right - sometimes, we make pages here look like garbage bins! --Bhadani15:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Fruits
Hello Bhadaniji, long time no fruits or cookies from your side :(. I guess you are very busy with the simple wiki these days.. -- Lost15:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you or your wiki-anniversary wishes! Lol, I'm stuffed, I couldn't eat another mango *eats a mango* Ok, maybe just one more :D Cheers! — The King of Kings 17:09 July 10 '06
