Intertemporally Yours
Been getting tons of emails and the site counter has been zooming along famously. Long lost friends have been mailing in.

Some of my friends would have heard of that all time fave Indian columnist of mine, the wonderful Behram Contractor. My fascination with the man started when I bought an anthology of his best columns a couple of years ago from a stuffy little book [...]
