[Reader-list] What after MNIC? The MIND, the final frontier.

[Taha Mehmood]

Dear Vivek,

Thank you for frothing.

I guess it is my unreasonableness to see the obvious which prevents me 
to perceive this apparent fact. I guess you are right after all. But 
before I end this with a nervous sounding lol, let me tell you I am also 
a shamelessly filthy liar so maybe all this while I might have known 
secretly that one could easily declare ones job profile as a terrorist, 
but  given the  bizzare nature of my personality, I choose to write 
peurile responses.

With lots of snubs

Taha
