sidbanerjee That is nice to hear . Maybe I should revise my estimates to around 65 or 70. Actually it also depends on how my fitness remains as I grow older . You are also right about the family part. Probably I will want to live longer if I have lovely little children...

sidbanerjee Yes that is true, I am a bit of a fitness freak and do try to keep in shape but am very afraid if I will continue to stay fit as I grow older. I really see no point in living if I have to depend on external life support or some such thing.

sidbanerjee I disagree with you that racism is only a problem due to upper classes. Most racial incidents in countries such as UK , USA and Australia are provoked by middle or lower middle class people. Racism is about a perception of superiority and it is this perception...

sidbanerjee Lots of Indians use user names which can't be realted to their actual names . Probably that is why you are not able to identify who are the Indians who reply to your posts.
