Replying to the replies to your own article may not be the ``done`` thing but on the question about women, please also include Ms. Maya Kunwar, the Manager-PR at DTC for this project. Where are the women? I promise you, when I drive Pakistan hopefully around Baisakhi, my wife will be driving independently as motoring correspondent for WOMAN`s ERA of India . . .thanks for pointing it out, though...cheers

where are the women in the subcontinent? or is that the men have decided that public transport is too dangerous for them to get on? for a public relations stunt, they certainly missed out on that persepctive now didn`t they?

I am also an ex-merchant navy engineer. During my trip around the world so many times I met pakistanis. Always I found found them a friendly lot. In fact only way I could distinguish between a pakistani and an indian is that who greets first aa-salaam-walekum. We roamed,ate and drank together but I never found any sense of enmity among them. It was a wonderful experience. Thanks for expressing your views.

Veeresh, I think eventaully Pakistan and India will untie, as there is no tohe way. 1/3rd of Pakistan is mountains, 1/3rd is desert, leaving onyl a third of the land for such a population and economy. Not really viable, that too in absence of economic leadership.

Regards,

Divesh
