Hi everyone

Hello there

Hello Everybody ???

Greetings to all..

Hi, is Mr Mody in yet?

Hai sreekanth. Where's ya calling from??

Greetings to all..

hi rmn! omaha, nebraska, u.s.a. u?

Hi, folks, Mr RUSSI MODY is here in the chat room already. Fire away...

Is Mr Mody in?

Good evening Mr Mody. It is an honour to have you with us this evening. I do hope you enjoy the experience.

Calling in from Madras, India Buddy.. & waiting for Mr Mody

Is Mr Mody in?

Good evening Mr Mody, Could you let us know your present feelings about the on-time record of Indian Airlines

Mr Mody, what is your perception of the Indian liberalisation process? Do you think the reforms will succeed?

Mr Mody.. you headed Tata steel for so many years and there were no strikes then.. How did you manage that?

Is Mr Mody in?

I ask because I know you have gone hammer and tong at "damned socialism" for years. You were the first voices to speak out against the policies started by your government.

Do you think we are going through the liberalisation process backwards? I mean, we don't even have the necessary infrastructure.

Hi everyone

Mr Mody, what in your opinion is absolutely essential in order to make Air India a world class airline?

Good evening, Mr Mody. I am happy to speaking with a legend of Indian business. I would like to ask you when the proposed merger of Indian Airlines and Air-india will occur? If not, why?

Mr. Mody, I was working in an international airline before I joined Air-India. The attitude of the union shocks me. How can a system so obviously obnoxious be allowed to exist in a service oriented industry?? I don't understand. Can you enlighten us with your perspective???

Hello Mr. Mody...i am a big fan of yours *smile*

Mr Mody, do you ever fly AI? Can you tell me why our airhostesses are some of the rudest people I've come across. And they look so haggard. And so OVERWEIGHT!

Tata's own 7.5 per cent of the shares at TISCO. So why should the management remain only in their hands?

TO rmn:
INDIAN AIRLINE IS UNDOUBTEDLY IMPROVING AND SO IS THE ONTIME PERFORMANCE OF AIR-INDIA. BUT THAT IS NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS AILING THE AIRLINES. WHAT WAS SAID IN THE INTRODUCTION OF ME IS 95 PER CENT CORRECT. BASICALLY, I AM UNABLE TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE BECAUSE I AM A PART TIME CHAIRMAN WITH NO EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY. MY SUCCESS AS MAN-MANAGER IN TATA STEEL WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT AFTER RELATING TO THE WORKERS AND THE UNION I WAS ABLE TO GIVE DECISIONS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE IN THE AIRLINES. AND I AM AFRAID THE AIRLINE WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER UNLESS THERE IS GREATER ATTENTION PAID TO MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP. BUT ALL WHAT I HAVE SAID IS IRRELEVANT INTHE CONTEXT OF THE PRESENT NEED OF THE AIRLINES. WHAT IS NEEDED MORE TODAY THAN ANTYING ELSE IS THE MERGER OF THE TWO AIRLINES, MAKING IT ONE INDIAN AIRLINE INSTEAD OF AS IN THE PRESENT, ONE DOMESTIC AND ONE INTERNATIONAL. THE SOONER THE GOVERNMENT TAKE A DECISION ON IT THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO HAVE A MODERN STREAMLINED AIRLINE. WITH ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF COMMON ROUTING AND LACK OF DUPLICATION.

Mr Mody.. In so many years of your career with Tata Steel, there was not a single strike.. Could you tell us how you managed that?

Mr Mody, I don't know whether you caught my question. Do you think we are going through the liberalisation process backwards? I mean, we don't even have the necessary infrastructure.

Mr Mody, can you tell me whether the socialistic principles adopted by late prime minister Jawharlal Nehru was totally wrong? Or will you agree to the fact that socialistic policies motives were good but too much of bureaucracy was wrong?

Mr Mody, With the change of Govt now, do you think that the merger process of AI & IA will be stopped ?

Mr. Mody: Congrats for the punctuality award that Air India has recieved. Don't you think that the the Airline should aim to go for the 'Friendliness on-board' award. That is one thing that is seriously needed aboard the flight. I have flown AI only once about a year ago. I don't know if I will evr do it again. What are you doing to improve this aspect???

Mr. Mody....Jamshedpur is a beautiful town and your bungalow is occupied now.....do you miss those days *smile*

Mr. Modi, This Abhijit Ghosh trying to converse with you thru the internet. Please accept my sincere thanks for appearing on the net despite your very busy schedule. I have the following comments and will appreciate for your response. In the passenger air line business, all over the world efficiency and timely performance is the criteria for survival, why it is so lacking in the Indian market place.

Hello, Mr. Mody. I am a big fan AI and fly it often. Could you please e-mail me at kshatrir@mail.brantley.org to tell me what plans you have in the future to upgrade AI. Write to me and we'll talk business...

Snap: I think it was friendly culture working under Mr Mody or may be dictatordhip? :) :)

Alex.. I would still prefer it if Mr Mody answered that.. thanks anyway :-)

Mr Mody, when did corruption and laziness become an intergral part of Indian character? What can we do now to get rid of these two major drawbacks that restrict India's progress as a nation?

TO SNAP:

THERE NOT BEING A STRIKE IN TATA STEEL WAS NOT THE EFFORT OF ANY ONE MAN. THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF GOOD INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS WAS PROJECTED BEFORE US BY MR JRD TATA WHO MANAGED TO GIVE LABOUR A DEAL WHICH GAVE THIS RESPONSE. WE WERE ONLY IMPLEMENTARS OF HIS VISION. ALL THE BOOKS WRITTEN ON MANAGEMENT AMOUNT TO NOTHING WHEN COMPARED TO TWO OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH YOU READ ABOUT IN THE BIBLE. THEY ARE: 1. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. 2. LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THY SELF. IF ALL THOSE ENGAGED IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS WERE TO GENUINELY AND SINCERELY FOLLOW THIS I CAN GUARANTEE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A SINGLE DAY'S STRIKE IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS>

Tata Steel is doing well Mr. Modi if not better. Do you feel surprised sometimes.....can individuals really make a difference. What would you say about individuals who are self-effacing but enormously succesful. Is it a paradox.

TO Namaskar!
CORRUPTION IS NOT UNIQUE TO INDIA. AND IN VARYING DEGREES PREVAILS IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL. WHAT IS DISTRESSING IN INDIA IS THAT THE CORRUPT IS NOT OUTRACISED BY SOCIETY. AND THE HONEST AND THE CORRUPT ARE TREATED ALIKE. THIS IS SHAMEFUL BUT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ERADICATE THIS BLEMISH IN OUR CHARACTER.

Thank you Mr Mody.. How was it being with Einstein in Oxford? I believe you played the piano with him....

Good Evening Mr.Mody.If you were to give your opinion on the macro-economic state of India today and your future forecast for say, a period of five years what woukd it be?

Who was your favourite prime minister, Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Shastri, Rajiv, V p Sigh or Scam Rao?

Mr. Modi, with due respect, do you think you profited as much from tata steel as your friends did.

Thank you Mr Mody.. How was it being with Einstein in Oxford? I believe you played the piano with him....

Greetings Mr Mody, What do you see ahead for India's computer industry. which do you feel are the strongest companies for export to the west. Hardware as well as software.

Snap: Do U really think my buddy Russi's here today????? I have known him for 20 years, but lost contact during the invasion.

Thank you, Mr Mody! I was wondering, do you ever fly AI? Can you tell me why our airhostesses are some of the rudest people I've come across. And they look so haggard. And so OVERWEIGHT!

Mr Mody, When you were offered the Airlines assignment after Tata Steel, you must have had many thoughts go thro' your mind. Could u tell me what are your feelings today, viz what you expected ?

Raj.. yup.. he's very much here.. why don't you catch up with news on him?

TO flight purser
ONE OF THE GREATES DRAWBACKS IN THE AIRLINE IS THE LACK OF REAL MANAGERIAL TALENT. BUREAUCRACY AND OUTMODED RULES AND REGULATIONS STILL PREVAIL AND AS A RESULT THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY THERE IS NO PUNISHMENT THERE IS NO REWARD THERE IS NO PARTICIPATION AND THE HORESE AND THE DONKEY ARE TREATED ALIKE. IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES TO ME IT IS A MIRACLE IS THE AIRLINE IS FUNCTIONING AT ALL.

Mr Mody: Hi..............could you telll me if you have given up on Air India and Indian Airlines........?? Iis it because of the buereaucracy

Mr.Mody: As a wise and Senior exec of Indian Industry what advice you give to your executives and other Indian ceo who operate industries to be socially responsible and environmentally friendly? What do yo expect from your govt. to accomplish some of these goals?

Mr. Mody, this is Abhijit again, instead of becoming captive to the politicians, bureaucrates and inefficient, unproductive and strik proned emplyees, why are you not given the free hand to run the business as it should be run. After all aviation business is very differnet from running other transportation business. If Singapore can operate an air line, out performing allmost every one else, I am sure if you are given a free hand, with your management skill, you can turn this huge loss making enterprises ( IA and AI )to profit making and envy of the world. run the

Thank you Mr Mody.. How was it being with Einstein in Oxford? I believe you played the piano with him....

Mr. Modi do you agree with what has been done to the EOF...will you be chivalric enough to accept it as a mistake *I would respect you as much* or you think it could have been handled in a better way...please answer this question if not the others *smile*

I agree with Namaskar...the Air India hostess are overweight.......and RUDE

TO Kalimati:
YES, I MISS MY HOUSE IN JAMSHEDPUR. BUT I NEVER BROOD OVER THE PAST. I LIVE FOR THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.

THE E.O.F. MR. MODI SIR. WOULD U HAVE DONE THING DIFFERENTLY PLEASE

Mr Mody: Pleaseeeeeeeee, answer my question, how could you join a public sector company when all your life you criticized it?

Thank you Mr Mody.. How was it being with Einstein in Oxford? I believe you played the piano with him....

TO SNAP:
YES I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ACCOMPANYING EINSTINE ON THE PIANO WHILST HE PLAYED THE VIOLIN. I OCCASIONALLY FILLED IN THE GAPS IN HIS KNOWLEDGE OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS

So, Mr. Mody, in saying that, do you really believe the airline(s) in which you play a vital part should be shut down??? Why don't we start punishing and participating??? What is is that you truly feel about AI & IA?

THANKS FOR THE ANSWER MR. MODI....I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE A SPORTSMAN....U HAVE SPORTING SPIRIT *SMILE*...NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

Mr Mody: This is not fair you are answering only SNAP.l

Mr Mody: How have you managed to maintain your zest your life? What makes you still enjoy grappling with problems?

will internal fares ever stop increasing?

Hey Hey! now wait a minute this is cheating........Mr Modi you haven't answered my question is yet..................please anwer my question :-)

I'm reffering my question to the flight pursuer...

TO ALEX:
ONLY BECAUSE SHE AND I WERE IN THE SAME UNIVERSITY AT THE SAME TIME.

Mr Mody.. do you really have a six-egg-omelette breakfast? what about chloestrol?

I can't understand INDIANs constantly complaining about poor air-hostesses on flights which mostly last less than 3 hours. Airlines first job is to get people from one place to another safely and on-time. If you want a friendly air-hostess become a maharajah and buy your own airline. I bet you guys won't still be satisfied. INDIAN airlines air-hostesses do a very fine job. I have flown world over. Quit wasting the time of a wise man. Ask something more meaningful

Mr Mody: Thanks for answering my question.

TO Abhijit Ghosh:
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. I WISH YOU WOULD WRITE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND ASK THEM TO DO THE NEEDFUL.

HA HA HA YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HUMORUR TOO SIR.....folks here's a great joke from Mr. Rusi Mody (he may remember it)....A lady met him at the airport once begging that her husband who worked in jamshedpur be transferred to Calcutta...she said ' Sir, I have one leg in jamshedpur and one leg in Calcutta....I am desperate with so much up and down...please help me'.....Mr. Modi said ' I can imagine what it must be like for people in Kharagpur'......kharagpur is between in jamshedpur and calcutta :)))

Snap: How do U know that Mr Mody eats six omlette in a day, I think he must be eating at least a dozen? Isn't it Mr Mody?

Mr Mody: I can see that the right connection seems to work here too! *smile*

No one is complaining -- let us face it, some of the chicks on the private airlines are more tolerable than the ones on IA, even if it means for a short while AND THEY GET YOU ACROSS IN TIME!

Alex.. I read a breif biography of Mr Mody and it was mentioned there...

Mr Mody, Is this your fisrt time ? On the net I mean...

Barry: I agree completely. I have flown Air India many times and although the service isn't first class they get to me to and fro my destinations and to be truthfull, that's all that matters.

Mr Mody: Is it true that you never used to get well along with the chief minister of Bihar, Laloo Prasad Yadav?

Barry: When the tickets cost a bomb the flights run at Iindian streched time and the service is lousy then you do wish you atleast had decent air hostesses who wouldn't be rude................in todays service oriented culture when one is expected to pay extra if he/she wnats good service , they should get the best so I don't think cribbing about Air hostess is a waste of Mr Mody's time ..........infact I think he would appreciate us tell him the nitty gritty of his service..................MR MODY what do you think??

Way to go, Marcos! I think Barry's just trying to be a wise guy.

will you be recruiting some more pilots and updating your fleet?

Snap: Thanks for informing me. I thought you are an old colleague of Mr Mody.

TO Kalimati:
THE EOF PROCESS WAS A PROVEN PROCESS WHEN TISCO ADOPTED IT. IT IS TRUE THAT IT WAS A NEW PROCESS AND THE SCALE ON WHICH WE WANTED TO UPGRADE IT HAD NOT BEEN TRIED OUT BEFORE. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS BEYOND THE INITIATIVE AND THE INNOVATIVENESS OF THE TECHNICAL PEOPLE TO DO THIS WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PLANT WAS NOT HANDLED PROPERLY FROM THE BEGINNING AND TROUBLE AFTER TROUBLE AROSE, FINALLY NECESSIATING THE CLOSURE OF THE PLANT.

You guys are such shmucks...just because it says so in the biography does not mean he'll eat so many omellettes for breakfast everyday...dont you understand sarcasm in rhetoric?

bARRY NEEDS SOME 'FRUITCAKE' -- SOMEONE LISTENING?

Mr.Mody: In the past decade several INDIAN companies have made lots of money in the Information Technology field. In your opinion have they done anything in appreciation to common or even poor men and women of INDIA ? Or, are they still being ruled just be GREED and Bill Gates ?

Raj are you stationed in India?

Mr Mody, Sir, may I have your views on the merger of Air India and Indian Airlines?

Kalimati.. I think we should have the freedom to ask questions the way we like.. so let us .. okay..

Mr Mody: Do you think Indians have no work culture. Especially if they get a permanent job, be it in public sector or private company?

Mr.Mody, do you feel that divesting of a small percentage of shares held by the government in Air India and Indian Airlines will make the national carriers become efficient ? In your experience and expertise, what you feel has to be done to make these organisations efficient?

No, df, I'm Indian, born and raised in England and now living in Florida, USA: WHY?

Mr Mody, where does India go from here? We seem to be stuck somewhere between the devil and the blue sea. We've embarked on the road to liberalisation, but are we ready for its ramifications?

TO SNAP:
I USED TO EAT SIXTEEN EGGS FOR BREAKFAST EVERY MORNIGN FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS. I HAD INEXHAUSTIBLE ENERGY AND BURNT AWAY ALL THE CHOLESTROL. MY CHOLESTROL LEVEL IS 169 AND SINCE I AM NOW WELL OVER 50 YEARS IN AGE I RESTRICT MYSELF TO THREE EGGS IN THE MORNING AND MAYBE EIGHT OR TEN OVER THE WEEKEND. I HAVE'NT BEEN FOR A CHECKUP FOR THE LAST 19 YEARS AND I HOPE MY CHOLESTROL REMAINS THE SAME.

Mr Mody.. is it true that you eat six-eggs-a-day omelette? What about chloestrol?

Mr Modi, How do you do it ? - Does it involve burning the midnight oil every night or when you are on top is it smooth sailing most of the time ? what about extra reading - is it part of a daily routine?

Thanks Mr Mody.. it was nice talking to you...

Mr.Maharaj, Mr.Sindhu and Mr.Marcos: The cost of flying is high because of fuel costs, high capital investment and training people who can get you there safely. Flying is not about Pretty or 'to your taste' air-hostesses. That is all I have to say about that.

Mr Mody, You didn't answer my question directly, but I guess I got the answer anyway. So, eggs are the secret of your energy, huh?

TO rmn:
FIRST TIME AND I AM DAMNED IF I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM DOING.

Mr Mody: I feel sorry for undelivered chicks because of you?

wow raj, lots of sun and sand - I live in Scotland now incidentaly -

Mr Mody: You did not answer my question on your opinion about Laloo Prasad Yadav?

Where are you originally from, df. What's *your* reason for being in this room?

Mr.Mody, what's your reaction to the budget presented by Mr.P.Chidambaram? Don't you feel that the pace of reforms should have been set faster? How can you best describe the efforts of the UF government in liberalisation of economy?

TO Barry:
I WISH YOU I COULD HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION BUT I AM AFRAID I AM TOTALLY IN ALL MATTERS CONCERNING COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, INTERNET ETC.

I'm interested in this question tooo....Alex hope you don't mind me asking your question......................MR MODY: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON LALOO PRASAD YADAV

TO Barry:
I WISH YOU I COULD HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION BUT I AM AFRAID I AM TOTALLY IN ALL MATTERS CONCERNING COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, INTERNET ETC. THE WORLD WAS A FAR HAPPIER PLACE WHEN LETTERS WERE TOOK 15 DAYS TO REACH ENGLAND FROM INDIA AND TELEPHONE CALLS TOOK TWO DAYS TO MATERIALISE.

Mr. Mody. You know well, just writing to the government will achieve nothing. What is required is a no nonsense type of management approach. All over the world, in the passenger air line business, a customer is treated with adequate courtesy because he/she has another choice. From my personal experience this is very sadly missing from IA. Also instead of customer being the king, it occurred to me the employees were the king in these two enterprises. It is indeed very sad ordinary Indian tax payers are footing the bills for the ever loss making operations of IA in particular. Also what was the out come of the investigation of Air India fligh that ended in the Arabian Sea, on Jan 01 1978, on its way to the Gulf from Bombay.

Barry, you sure are a 'fruitcake'! How come we get competitive rates on foreign airlines? Do their aircraft fly on water and are they flown by 'untrained' pilots? Who are you? Thr PRO for IA!!!!

Nor did you answer my question! I'll just repeat them in case you've missed seeing them.

Do you ever fly AI? Can you tell me why our airhostesses are some of the rudest people I've come across. And they look so haggard. And so OVERWEIGHT!

Mr Mody, where does India go from here? We seem to be stuck somewhere between the devil and the blue sea. We've embarked on the road to liberalisation, but are we ready for its ramifications?

MR. MODY, PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION...wait a minute...I didn't have a question... JK & JS & NAMASHKAR I'M LEAVING

Mr.Mody, this thing seems to be far beyond managing TISCO or AI?

Mr Mody, what was your first job? The one that earned you your first salary?

I AM A TOTAL DEVOTEE OF FREE ENTERPRISE COMPETITION AND A FREE MARKET ECONOMY. HENCE I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE PACE OF REFORMS COULD HAVE BEEN FASTER. HOWEVER, SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING AND LET US BE GREATFUL FOR LITTLE MERCIES.

I AM A TOTAL DEVOTEE OF FREE ENTERPRISE COMPETITION AND A FREE MARKET ECONOMY. HENCE I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE PACE OF REFORMS COULD HAVE BEEN FASTER. HOWEVER, SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING AND LET US BE GREATFUL FOR LITTLE MERCIES.

Mr.Marcos: You are way out of your league on how Airlines operate and how they fix their prices for a specific route etc., Quit wasting time and stop being a distraction to others. Better yet, go see a shrink

Listen, Namaskar. Why would Mr.Mody answer a question that could put him all over the front page all the Indian Newspapers? I don't even know if India has any newspapers, except for Gujurat Samachar, maybe.

Someone once told me that what India needs is a benevolent dictatorship for the next 10 years. That is the only way we will ever progress. That is the only way we will become a more equal nation. Do you agree?

THEN INTERNET IS A COOL PLACE MR.MODI SIR.......ITS ANONYMOUS HE HE HE.....HNAG OUT HERE MORE OFTEN AND YOU'LL KNOW.

TO Maharaj:
WHATEVER YOU THINK OF LALOO PRASAD, I ENDORSE.

Mr Mody: I'm repeating my question, All your life you criticized PSUs and at the end of your career, you are in it? Don't you think it is unethical?

Raj, You guessed right - we have similar roots! And, I am here coz I wanted to LISTEN in! I was wondering if I knew you since your 'name' caught my eye !

TO Namaskar!:
YES I AGREE WITH YOU.

Thanks Mr.Mody.I do agree with you that something is better than nothing. But is it not that in our country, politics has more to play in business. Don't you feel that this has to go? What's your prescription for this?

Raj: May be because Mr Mody is an honest man. Because he is the kind of man who does not like to hide behind the mysterious curtain that can be created with words.

Barry, if you wanted to I'll tell you more than a thing or two about flying/operating an airlins. Quit this crap about 'theory', let's get down to market forces -- DO YOU UNDERSTAND or are you on a 9 to 5 job at the airlines counter, programmed to spew all this disgusting 'theory'!!!

Mr. Mody were you cross with Ratan during your TISCO days?

TO Alex:
I DO NOT THINK IT IS UNETHICAL ANYMORE THAN THE FACT THAT ALL MY LIFE I HAVE HAD A POOR OPINION OF OLD PEOPLE AND NOW I AM ONE OF THEM.

Mr.Mody: Your opinion about Women executives in corporations. Will you appoint a women to run a large corporation in INDIA. Your comments please.

Mr Mody: I'm sorry to say that you are not interested in answering serious questions. Please don't give one line answers?

Mr Modi: What is the key to success and please give me a real answer! And coul;d you tell us more about Man Mangement? How do you get them to do whatver you want to do for you?

Mr Mody will only take two to three more questions now.

Please Mr.Namaskar. Where are you living now? Do you really think there are any Indians in INdia, lower-middle class, nowadays that are truthful??

My grand father had bouht TISCO shares during it's inceptions us brothers have kept them so far. What do see TISCO's future? Investor wise.

,R MODY PLEASE STAY FOR ANOTHER 30 MINS OR I'LL JUMP OF THE PLANE............please Mr Mody its great fun

Mr Mody: What is the reason behind your success?

I do! And if you look around you with your eyes open, I think you will too!

Mr.Mody, I really enjoyed your wit in answering the question put forth by Mr. Alex. Thanks for your time and may be some time we'll ask you more questions.

Mr Mody, please! What was your first job? The one that paid you your first salary?

TO Barry:
I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID OF WOMEN IN IMPORTANT JOBS BUT I AM NOW A TOTAL ADVOCATE FOR GIVING WOMEN ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES THEY DESIRE AFTER WATCHING MARGARATE THATCHER AND INDIRA GANDHI IN THIER JOBS.

MAHARAJA......PLEASE JUMP OF THE PLANE....THATS ALSO FUN

Mr Mody: Why businessmen don't dare to criticise politicians openly?

???

Mr Mody, isn't that a sad reflection on our society and on us as Indian? Why is it that we need to be disciplined like animals?

I LOVE WOMEN.

Barry is IAs alterego? Or is he Rediff?

Mr Mody, So you think there should be 33 per cent reservation of seats for women in parliament?

Yes, I belive there are good people out there, but if your name is the headline for all the trashy newspapers that are out there today, do you still think Mr.Mody will answer your question?????????????????????

Mr.Mody: Thank you for your ansers and time. May god bless you with long life and contributions to your INDIAN society

dear mr mody hows it that i'm a bloody damn good doctor but your panel of airindia doesnt take anybody who doesnt bribe them

Are you sure Indira did her job properly I dont mean because she was a woman or not.

TO Sindhu:
AFTER MY TRAINING PERIOD I INSISTED ON WORKING AS KHALASY AND I DID MANUAL JOBS ON THE SHOP FLOOR FOR A PERIOD OF AN YEAR AND A HALF. MY FIRST SALARY WAS EIGHT ANNAS A DAY AND THIRTEEN RUPEES FOUR ANNAS AS FOOD SUBSIDY. ONE OF MY BIGGEST THRILLS IN LIFE WAS WHEN MY SALARY WAS INCREASE FROM EIGHT ANNAS TO TWELVE ANNAS A DAY.

still?

Mr.Marcos: I am neither, but I am SANE and you are not!

Mr Mody, I think you should answer my question if only to silence Raj. Do you travel AI?

Mr Mody, I think you should answer my question if only to silence Raj. Do you travel AI?

Mr Mody: Does that Khalasy mean a peon?

mr mody yoohooyoohooyoohoooooo

...

Thank you, Mr Mody! I've got to leave now, but if we ever meet for breakfast, I promise I won't forget about the eggs! *smile*

TO passenger on board:
SO LONG AS BUSINESSMEN HAVE TO WALK THE CORRIDORS OF THE SECRETARIATES WAITING TO GET 'YES' AND 'NO' FOR AN ANSWER THIS STATE OF ANSWER WILL CONTINUE.

I love women too passenger on board...wonder if MR. Modi can do anything about making loving hosteseses legitimate on the plane.....fringe benfit you know.

Mr Mody: Do you like DICTATORS?

Hello Sir! I have read in some book that you have seen 'Nehru-Edwina Mountbaten' in a very intimate position . Is it true or wrong?

Kalimati: I think everyone loves women.

Mr Mody, why cannot India practice ethics in politics. Why don't leaders take moral responsibility of any mis-doings and relinquish power. Why cannot the political parties elect a leader to their party say 4-6 months before the elections, and project him as a leader to lead thew nation for a full term instead of keeping the people in dark as to whose going to be the mext prime minister. Will it be Some Gowda, or some prasad, or some x, whom the public would not have had in mind when they elect.

mr mody yoohoohoohoohoohohohohohohohohoho

so Mr mody are you telling me that Hard work and more hard work is enough - And that a grandfather is not needed? Come on let me know Sir

I LOVE WOMEN 2 MUCH

Dont bother answering my Qs, Mr. Mody since you haven't answered any others of mine. Good day and God Speed(an american saying that is equivilant to My God Stay Happy) Df are you still there???

Is'nt it true that some children in India still get 12 annas per day paid.

Mr Mody, are you still there? Please tell me, do you travel AI?

Mr Mody, Baryy distracted me, but tell em IF YOU WERE PM WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FIRST ACTION? (Hope Barry won't be your 'sarkari PA'!

Raj, giving up?

you bet, Raj!!!

TO ALL OF YOU MY FRIENDS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN IN LIFE. PUT YOUR HANDS ON ALL THAT COMES YOUR WAY AND IF AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU FIND YOU HAVE HALF AN HOUR TO SPARE DO SOME WORK. GOODBYE AND HAVE FUN.

SOFEE: No its not true..............there is no denominacy of annas

THANK YOU MR MODY. WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF FUN! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

MR MODY PLEASE STAY

rai (Fri Sep 27 20:59:08 1996 IST) Hello Sir! I have read in some book that you have seen 'Nehru-Edwina Mountbaten' in a very intimate position . Is it true or wrong?

No, Namaskar, but what will arguing achieve? A wise man once said, "To argue is to be creative, but what will arguing achieve if the goal is not set?" I leave you with those words.

HEY Lets all go to the Small Smoke Filled CAFE
