Dear Madhu,
Hope you have received my e-mail.
I get the feeting that you are afraid of people living in the neighborhood of the Plot where the house we are planning to construct.
There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of anyone at Omalloor. It was last year that we had some problems with the neighbors on whom I initiated an injunction order through my borther-in-law, P.K. Sasidharan, Advocate Pathanamthitta, restraining the party from walking across my land, i.e. through the plot in front of the plot we are planning to construct the house.
Now everybody knows that I am constructing a house at the said plot. In fact, when I was in Kerala, I spoke to P.K. Sasidharan about any people in the neighborhood at Omalloor troubling us while the construction work is being done. He said that there is nothing to worry about such things, as I am constructing a house on my plot, and if there is any problem, that he will take care of it.
So, if you come across any problems from any people at Omalloor, just let me know, or Mr. P.K. Sasidharan, whose telephone number I already gave you in my first e-mail to you. I will speak once again to Mr. P.K. Sasidharan if you want it. But once again, you need not worry about or afraid of anything at Omalloor. You are my engineer / contractor, and I will deal with anyone who may try to create problem for us, through the proper legal channels, if that becomes necesssary.
Far from it, I have ordered for two more loads of the same sand (gravel) through Mr. Pattar, which will be unloaded in the next few days to further level the entrance from main-road to the plots. As soon as that is done, you can further make the pathway better by using your men, material, and efforts. Any costs thereof will be paid by me. Just let me know how much will it cost.
As far as the stream right in front of the plot is concerned, please make an access by constructing a slab; also at my cost. Please note that it is not possible for me to do things at Omalloor while I am in Sharjah. So, now everything is up to you. Be brave, and start the necessary works as soon as the weather conditions permit it.
Best regards,
PRATHAP G. Sharjah

Warren Buffett
A Message From Warren E. Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Dear Reader,
You probably know that I don't make stock recommendations. However, I have three thoughts regarding your personal expenditures that can save you real money. I'm suggesting that you call on the services of three subsidiaries of Berkshire: GEICO, Borsheim's and Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska (BHLN).
I estimate that about 40% of all auto drivers in the country can save money by insuring with GEICO. The figure is not 100% because insurers differ in their underwriting judgments, with some favoring drivers who live in certain geographical areas and work in certain occupations more than GEICO does. I believe, however, that GEICO more frequently offers the low price than does any other national carrier selling insurance to all comers. You can quickly find out whether you can save money by going to www.geico.com or by calling 800-555-2756.
Fine jewelry, watches and giftware will almost certainly cost you less at Borsheim's. I've looked at the figures for all publicly-owned jewelry companies and the contrast with Borsheim's is startling. Our one-store operation, with its huge volume, enables us to operate with costs that are fully 15-20 percentage points below those incurred by our competitors. We pass the benefits of this low-cost structure along to our customers.
Every year Borsheim's sends out thousands of selections to customers who want a long-distance opportunity to inspect what it offers and decide which, if any, item they'd like to purchase. We do a huge amount of business in this low-key way, which allows the shopper to conveniently see the exceptional values that we offer. Call Joe Corritore or Susan Jacques at Borsheim's (800-642-4438) and save substantial money on your next purchase of jewelry.
Finally, BHLN sells annuity products directly over the internet at its website www.brkdirect.com. Like GEICO and Borsheim's, BHLN maintains a low cost structure and, thus, can offer savings to many customers. By visiting the web-site, you can evaluate the specific products, get quotes and actually make a purchase. Check to see whether one or more of the products meet your financial planning needs.
Sincerely, Warren E. Buffett

Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy
UAE issues law on peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Dubai, Oct 5 (PTI) The United Arab Emirates has issued a federal law under which a nuclear regulatory body will be set up to monitor the peaceful use of atomic energy.
The move is in accordance with the criteria set by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as a framework for the successful implementation of the Peaceful Nuclear Energy Programme, official news agency, Wam, said.
The law, issued by President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, prohibits the development, construction or operation of uranium enrichment or spent fuel reprocessing facilities within the borders of the UAE.
In keeping with its policy commitment to complete operational transparency, the UAE consulted closely with the IAEA as well as the governments of major nuclear suppliers (e.g., France the US, the UK, Japan, South Korea etc.) in the development of the law, the Wam release said.
Hats off to the President of the United Arab Emirates - I love it. Every country must follow suit - Prathap G., Sharjah

The front elevation of Prathap G's house being built
Ladies & Gentlemen of this world,
It appears the people in the neighborhood of the Plot on which the house is scheduled to be constructed are secretly trying to block construction of the house. This is evident from the fact that the Engineer responsible for starting construction work faced some aggressive movements and overtures from the neighborhood of the Plot when he was making his initial visits to the site. The Engineer even heard some threatening talk emanating from the northern part of the plot where there is a house whose inhibitants are seeking a pathway through my properties to enable them drive a car through it, as against a 3 feet pathway I am prepared to provide them (as per law, and as stated in the property ownership documents in my possession). The said neighbor already has a proper road on their eastern side starting from their house via the western side of Devi Temple near the Main Omalloor-Pathanamthitta Road.
No matter what, I will remove any obstacle that may come in the way when the house construction begins. Therefore, Engineer Madhu, need not worrry about the hoodlums in the neighborhood of the Plot. In order to encourage Madbu, I have sent him an e-mail yesterday (25.10.2009); the contents of which is as follows:

Prathap's relatives at the ground breaking ceremony
There is a house on the northern side of this plot. The roof-top of that house is visible above the wall. They are the very people who are trying to obstruct the construction of my house.

Google’s Wave takes aim at email (DPA)
1 October 2009 SAN FRANCISCO - Google is to release a new product aimed at making email obsolete, the company said in a blog posting Tuesday.
Google Wave combines the best features of email, instant messaging, social networking and collaborative document editing and will be released Wednesday to 100,000 developers and selected corporate users, the company said.
Called a personal communication and collaboration tool, the open source product was first unveiled at a Google developer conference in May, and will now be unleashed on an army of developers to iron out the bugs.
The application was developed in Australia by Jens and Lars Rasmussen, the brothers who had a key role in developing Google Maps.
According to its inventors, Google Wave will do to email what the computer did to the typewriter. In a blog posting announcing the product, Lars Rasmussen said that email and instant messaging were designed to mimic snail mail and phone calls, whereas Wave was designed to take advantage of current abilities rather than imitating non-electronic forms.
Thus one person can create a Wave and add people to it. Everyone will be able to use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets and web feeds, and edit any document in real time. Wave also features built- in translation tools for 40 languages.
The development comes as Google increasingly seeks to spread its dominance from its core strength in internet search to a wider range of technologies.
The company has already made strong headway with its Android software for mobile phones, and its Google Voice application is fast picking up adherents who are using it to bypass traditional phone companies. However Google Apps, the company’s online productivity suite, has yet to make strong inroads in the corporate world where Microsoft’s Office suite still dominates.
Enterprise service companies like SAP and Salesforce are already developing their own applications to piggyback on the open source application. Other gadgets include a trip-planning tool from Lonely Planet, a real time Soduko game and a live meeting point called 6rounds that enables people to interact together over the internet, and Google plans to open an iPhone-like App Store to encourage further outside development.
