That explains the 'cool' angle :-)Chenthilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865750827704844908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057873.post-1119354910407307332005-06-21T17:25:00.000+05:302005-06-21T17:25:00.000+05:30You know CHenthil, that photograph is super cool. ...You know CHenthil, that photograph is super cool.
