Grandiose?  Goody, I LOVE grandiose.  But come now, you barely scratch
at the surface of what REAL grandiose should be.  Try this scenario now...

In the year 2001, when the myths of sci fi fall to the bitter test of time,
all of us Indians in the US just up and leave for home.  Naturally, we have
our cosy and comfy little bungalows, awaiting us back home in Gummidipundi 
or Ramrajatolla or wherever.  But do we sit back and enjoy our flourishing
careers publishing research papers?  WRONG!  We all get together (one hopes
somebody would have established a net by then, so that this can be achieved
by straightforward application of the IITM-Class-of-86 algorithm) and form
a POLITICAL party.  Doggone!  How's that?

And that's not all.  We actually fight the election, yes, sir, and put young
Priyanka Gandhi out of business.  And THEN, we start doing all the things
we folks have been mulling over for lo these many moons.  Set up our N model
cities.  Change all "backward class" criteria to economic criteria.  Sentence
all politicians born before 1935 to a summary firing squad (wellllll, maybe
just bar them from politics for 25000 years).  Oh, what splendid fun!

Face it, gentle readers.  That's what we have to do if we are serious-- win
an election.  Maybe some day... (sigh)!
