Guest guest Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Meena is from 1980 batch- née Meena Jotwani. I think she was applying one of the tenets of Hindu philosophy: to get mukti from birth-rebirth cycle to become one with GOD. Please don't call it a " strange " greeting. Even though I don't subscribe to this philosophy, I thought I should clarify. It helps if people include their batch when they sign of their mail. Ashok Bhaskar 1984b p.s.
