Thats really strange, Arvind,

 

On his site he is such a cheerful and friendly looking guy. If I

would be an old lady I would give all my possessions to him and could

cuddle and hug him to death or feed him all day long with chocolate

and crackers.

Hi Werner,

 

 

They say, it is very HARD to find

anything wrong with a Clever, Skillful

politician, PR, Marketing or Sales

Expert ! i. e. unless you try to look

deeply and try to analyze some subtle

clues or unless ...you get bitten !

 

 

Yes, and I do agree with you on both

the photo and 'most of the messages',

it looks almost 'too loving' to

believe. Somebody ( and something )

dipped in Sugar !

 

 

I will go as far to say that Harsha's

photo and his typical messages might

have given even Mother Teresa run for

money !

 

 

With warm regards,

Arvind.

 

 

 

PS: Now, let us wait for the EXPERT (I

do think, Harsha is an expert in PR,

presentation and maneuvering ).
