Ms Shameem Akthar,

Many thanks fot this really superb guide.

Not often do we see authors interact with
readers (and readers with other readers)
as in your articles.

Will visit your blog soon.

But in the meanwhile, please do see this item
'American attempt to patent yoga puts Indians in a twist"

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article1862524.ece

It appears some Americans (and Indians who have
become Americans)want to patent India's
knowledge which has been in the public domain
for centuries.

They have tried to do this with our herbs
-- Haldi, tea, Tulsi, Chillis and Basmati rice -- before
and now they are trying to patent Yoga!

Next they will want our Sandalwood, Tigers, Elephants, and so on...

I would -- and so would your Rediff readers, I am sure --
like to know your views on this soon.

Thank you once again.
