It was Raakhee, not Simi, btw. <BR/><BR/>The government is going berserk, and now it is an ego hassle between Ramadoss and Shivraj Patil. But I do think there must be some checks on public smoking. There have been times you are sitting in cramped restaurants and your food begins smelling of someone's cigarette. <BR/><BR/>"btw smoke , fire , heat . steam ....hope you havent been watching Merchant Ivory's "Heat and Dust"...."<BR/><BR/>Just like to make my news steamy...<BR/><BR/>Re.
