Dear Friends,
It has been a great pleasure to be associated with this website as it has given me an opportunity to make new friends and help several young people from our community. The site allows us to network, help each other, and strengthen the community spirit. We learn about our history (not taught in schools) and the sacrifices our elders, brothers and sisters have made over the centuries.
However, I find lot of items in the humour section inappropriate. Ethnic jokes were never considered to be in good taste but now it is even more important to stay away from them. These jokes can bring the site in disrepute and more importantly, they can come to haunt you years from now. Lyndon Johnson had said "higher you rise up on the Totem Pole, more of your rear end you expose to the public's view." The problem with the written record is that it never goes away.
