Well Prakash,

It appears that we are on the opposite sides of the fence yet again.

I have not met Gata personally, but from everything that I have read and heard,
he is a nice, friendly young man and therefore I can only wish the best for him.

His father has always been the problem (from what I have heard). It is
impossible for me to attribute the "sins of the father" to the son.
