I would agree to a good extent here. My guess is however, that we have
millions of other brilliant minds too, which need to come together and
synergize.

Who was boring!? Dear Nizam: this is the first time that we are attempting
a citizen's debating forum in India. Some boredom might happen. Let's take
it in our stride. Trust me, there was only one boring person here: me. All
other debators were very interesting indeed. Now that I'm really keeping a
low profile (not able to debate vigorously with Ash, for example due to
swollen hands), why don't you come forward and offer non-boring debates.
I'd really like someone to take up debate with Ash and finalize the Free
Citizen section, which to me is the most critical section of all which
defines the foundation of the relationship between the citizen and the
state.

There is no entity like a "Net initiator" here. We are all in the same
boat... Please furnish your views into a package and put up. Will be
enormously grateful! Each citizen/ person/ well-wisher is valuable here,
particularly their suggestions for solving the problems on the ground.

Regards,
SS
