Reincarnation of an IM Member

Dr. Gajaprishthakara · Apr 7th, 2007, 21:28

Hi All,

We feel elated that we have finally become settled here in India so quickly. We owe a huge thanks to IM members. While we have not posted much, we have read an endless amount of posts - most of which have contributed enormously to three very successful and fulfilling trips to India.

Now we are living in India (primarily), we are going to write a great deal more about our experiences and hopefully provide some useful information for others.

In recognition of this greater involvement, we plan to put "[edited]" onto the funeral pyre (well, I will get on and my friends will throw [edited] on after me [JOKE!]. We will be reincarnated here under a new username. There will be enough hints for those who care.

vale [edited]

THANK YOU!!!!

I probably won't get down south on my next holiday, looks like into Delhi, Rajasthan, Agra, Varanasi and then out of Dehli again. Definently won't have time on the business trip in May - the schedule looks like being hideous - 9 countries in the first 28 days.

Dr Who????

Sorry, couldn't resist

Dr. Gajaprishthakara · Apr 8th, 2007, 21:22

If you can work it out Captain (and I think that you may be the one who can), I will be impressed. A prize, I think, will follow.

Prashant.M · Apr 8th, 2007, 22:01

Are you by any chance a Vet?

Dr. Gajaprishthakara · Apr 8th, 2007, 22:53

You are well on the way to getting to the bottom of this one prashant. But it doesn't refer to my occupation.

Nick-H · Apr 9th, 2007, 00:37

With a name like that, we'll never work out who you used to be!

....although there's a BIG clue in the first post of this thread: would you like it edited out, or are you happy for that small link to be there?

Nattusbs · Apr 9th, 2007, 00:49

Gajaprishthakara literally means Elephants backside (Mahabalipuram).

Nattusbs

Dr. Gajaprishthakara · Apr 9th, 2007, 01:05

OK Nat. You win. It is a family name. When we were growing up, my father - ashamed of reality - told us that we were named after the now extinct 'Gaja' (or , at least, it's bottom).

I am particularly disappointed in Mr and Mrs N - particularly as the prize is a lovely pair of blue titanium frames.

Only joking (about the actual prize). How do you want to receive your prize Nat?

Nick - have done an edit on the top one. Thanks.

AvidTrekker · Apr 9th, 2007, 01:27

gajaprishthakara = गजपृष्ठकर

gaja = elephant

prShTha = back or anus [depending on context of sentence]

kara = do-er

Someone who used to "do" the back or errrm.."

" of the elephant?

The word meaning is not difficult....

but what did they really DO in those ye olde days ??

Any answers??

Dr. Gajaprishthakara · Apr 9th, 2007, 01:48

I hate to think.

I have decided that the prize will be an IndiaMike showbag. Something that has not existed previously and may, indeed have a short life. It will consist of all the things that I shake my head at in India (more accurately, a small handful). I have an eye for the unusual (you haven't met Mrs G, have you). I will display the contents here before forwarding.

bottom being the operative word

. Actually it was not difficult at all because of google. I just copied and pasted your id and got the answer. Thought I would also play it smart and be cryptic

. But, if it were not for the net then I would be really stumped. That was a good one Dr.G.
