From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wikipedia exists in a state of quantum significance flux. It's simultaneously a shining, flawless collection of incontrovertible information, and a debased pile of meaningless words thrown together by uneducated lemurs with political agendas. It simply cannot exist in any state between these two extremes. You can test this yourself by expressing a reasonable opinion about the site in any public space. Whatever words you type, they will be interpreted by readers as supporting one of these two opposing views." - Lore Sjöberg, Wired [1]

"Enthusiastic as I was in the beginning about sharing my knowledge and experience with the whole world for free, I soon realized I was spending almost my entire time walking behind morons, picking up their garbage and pleading them to stop or I'd have to report them to the headmaster...... "The amount of utter bullshit, propaganda, spam, hate, incivility, idiocy, irresponsibility and long-undetected hoaxes I've seen here is a clear testament to what Wikipedia really is: a huge, inept and anarchic organization committed to political correctness more than to anything else, employing an unpaid, ill-equipped, badly trained and pitifully powerless work force." -Targeman, former editor in Wikipedia[2]
I love Wikipedia Medical articles, its a great quick reference for everyday medical topics among medical professionals.
I am a Medical Professional and volunteered my sevices for three years from 2001-2003 in India (mainly the Himalayan foothills of Uttar Anchal) in an outreach program to provide medical care to the less fortunate in areas without access to medical care. This got me published in the book Nomaskar: The Spirituality of Mother Teresa.
I am not in favor of caste distinction and politics.
I do not like religious fanatics.
I do not like racists and racial comments or overtones.
I am a member of the Royal house of Nepal.
I am a direct descendant of Sri Teen Maharaja Jung Bahadur of Nepal.
I am a direct descendant of Bhimsen Thapa, the first Prime Minister of Nepal.
I am a member of several Rajput Royal houses in India (to name a few Udaipur, Kashmir, Jaisalmer, etc.).
I am a member of the Sikh Royal houses of the Phulkian States (Mainly Patiala and Nabha).
My mother's cousin was Vijayaraje Scindia, who was known for her strong political presence in India.
If you need to verify who I am please contact Dr. Joseph T. O'Connell, Professor Emeritus, South Asian Studies Department, University of Toronto. Upon describing which Royal houses I am related to, he will know exactly who you are asking about.
I have given lectures at Canadian Universities on the topic of Sikh and Rajput Royal practices.
I am presently involved in restoring the Royal Sikh Tombs of Nabha and in negotiations with local authorities to preserve Sikh heritage sites in the former Kingdom.
I am a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity since 1994.
