urban legends...

Dear Vijay, If you have got the message through e-mail, then you have been a subject of mail hoax. This is a classic case of an urban legend. In case, you are ondering what are Urban legend is? click here. The legend is mainly sent to induce agoraphobia. In case you reeive such mails, please delete them. Don't forward them. For a fair account of what constitute an urban legend, visit The Urban Legend Archive. If anyone still has doubts about the Aids virus, visit these links. An interesting point in the forward was "a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years". That is totally wrong. People can survive (and have also survived) with AIDS for more than a decade before succumbing to it. Any way, the first thing you do on reaching Mumbai is spread fear among us, da. The first line of your post is a good pointer. I am reproducing it below with my emphasis on th post.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Bye for now.
