Kochappan

oh! I forgot to introduce kochappan to you. He is my icon , my brand ambassador: a
a jack of all trades and surprisingly a master of few.

What is he know? He is v good journalist working in my news paper.
"very good?." asks a jealous friend. ''There are lot of mistakes in his reports.'' adds my friend'.

' The British prime minister Tony Blair is likely to invite Dr.Manmohan singh 'for tea' at 10, Downing strret ......'.. This suggests that the main objective of Blair is to give Dr.singh a cup of tea. However he meant to invite him 'to tea' so that he could use the occasion to have an informal chat.

'President Bush entertained Dr. abdul Kalam' to lunch ' : as if the latter couldnot get any lunch and Bush magnanimously offered him a meal.What actually happened was Bush entertained the president 'at lunch'.
'
The famous urologist Dr. Mony will 'only' be available at Kochi' .This means that the doctor will be available and nothing else will happen.What Kochappan probably meant was that doctor will be available 'only' in Kochi and nohere else.

Now that this comments have come I am thinking of giving kochappan another assignment. Lot of youngesters go abroad, say, to US,UK etc. An awareness of aspects of social and professional interaction with the people of these countries could of some use. Kochappan was in US . He knows about them. Will he help us ?

Let's see whether he will do it.

He 'only' has to tell us whether he will do it.
He has to tell us 'only' whether he will do it.
He has to tell us whether he 'only' will do it.
He has to tell us whether he will do it 'only'.

Knowing Kochappan and his 'only', he is going to take some time to tell us !!!

With all those fantastic descriptions you have given about me in your earlier mails (which would make any slander-monger turn green with envy), do I need any further introduction? With friends like you, I hardly need enemies!
