Krishna was quite an opportunist crook, you see... :D And i've not read much of Dwivedi ji, hope to find something there! Yep, bad boy he was, I quite idealized him, you see ;-)

Bad boy...bad boy...I’m talking about Krishna re...not you! :P Your post set me thinking as to why people didn’t bathe in the privacy of their bathrooms during those days?? Don’t tell me they didn’t have bathrooms...Sheesh! Even the Harappa-Mohenjodaro folks had properly-maintained city drainage system and all...:O Raskhan = ras+khan; sandhi-vichedh and all that... from my Kishore Bharathi days, you see... :P I got 96/100 in my 10th std half-yearly Hindi exam...not even one maatra out of place :P Those were the days...! :D (Yeah...I’m an incurable show-off...I keep on about it whenever I get the chance to much like Bertram and his Scripture Knowledge Prize :P) P.S: Hazaari Prasad Dwivedi uncle's 'Kya Niraash Hua Jaaye' is one of my favourites. :) Tut-tut! Bad boy…bad boy…I’m talking about Krishna re…not you! :P
