Dear Madhu ji/ Sathya ji,

I seriously am very confused about this IP thing and I don't even know whether they are meant to
be the same or different numbers. From what I gather, they are meant to be different.

I don't want to assume things, but I think you are under the impression that Sangeetha and
Ranjana are one and the same person. They are not. 'Ranjana' or 'Ranjana Dave', that is ME, is a
member of a yahoo group called dancing_odissi. The url for that group is
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dancing_odissi/

This is where dancer Durga Bor had once posted a few questions in a message. I thought it would
make more sense if these questions were posed to a wider group, which is why I posted them on
Narthaki.

If all I wanted to do was continue MY monologue on the same issue, I wouldn't split the posts
into two. Instead, wouldn't it look better if Ranjana knew everything and gave long answers like
an expert on the subject....??

And if you had done a little more checking, you would have realised that Sangeetha has posted
even earlier on the group. She asks for lots of Bharatanatyam related material which I wouldn't
have been able to make much use of, as a student of Odissi.

So I don't see where the question of MONOLOGUE comes in. And for your information, I am
not even based in Chennai. I've not visited the place for the past 7 years.

I hope this mail clears your misunderstanding. I would love to have a clarifying mail from you as to
what you exactly meant.

By the way, what if I were to say that this Madhu (Madhu@jayq.org) and Sat Bera
(sathyaindi@yahoo.co.in) who emailed Sangeetha (shyam@bdg.centrin.net.id) and me
(ranjana_rocks@yahoo.co.in) with exactly the same post and comments, with the same line as the
subject, sarcastically addressing us as twins, are one and the same person? Any replies,
Madhu...or should I call you Sathya....???
