		<description><![CDATA[I created my first email id sometime around 1996. It was a hotmail account. But not many of my friends had one. So I wasn&#8217;t using it much. I remember checking emails just once/twice a day similar to the way we check snail mails in our letterbox. So much has changed since then.

Whereas, the concept of many lives and its interconnectedness does provide some convincing answers. Vedic religions seem to suggest the notion of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nullpointers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4418727&amp;post=495&amp;subd=nullpointers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

That they are socially challenged, that they dress shabbily, that they are more comfortable with machine than with humans, that they cant start a conversation with strangers and so goes this list.
