Message to IndiaCause on Dec 06 :
"I think today a great number of people has voted for it, I woke up guys
in Hong kong call their family and friends to vote vote vote for Vande
Mataram, and they all did, someone MSN me from Canada yesterday night their
time and said they are spreading the news to Malaysia and other places, as
many Indians living in those places don't know Vande Mataram, but now they
know. I also like Rakkamma song, by Ilaiyraja, but Nation comes first, keep
up the good work "
