Hi,
I'm myself a Mauritian, thanx for the nice things u had to say abt my paradise island. But there are a few things I'd like to point out: 1st, our religions rank as such in importance, Hindu ,Christian ,Muslim & others and Coco Beach, while being a very nice 3-stars hotel ( great for teenag...ers and kids) is nowhere near the best hotel in Mauritius.
To answer Niraj, French is very widely spoken as well as Creole (a dialect derived from French). Don't expect too much hindi as hindu kids only learn it in school but don't generally use it much. English is understood(being Mauritius' official language) but not widely used, people not being comfortable speaking it beyond
basic words.Read More

’’Thank God I am not an American’’- Akhil. LOLLLLL!!! (America's saying Thank God too)
If America's such an evil country, can you tell me why so many Indians (and others) are flocking there every year, grabbing this Green Card as if their lives depend on it??? War's ...never good, that's for sure, but should we just sit back and let terrorists take over? At least that stupid Saddam had a few months' warning from the US (I don't think that a few US military guys just decided to become suicide bombers and started blasting the IRakis...) and the SOB ignored the warnings (most likely planning his escape route) and let his people face the music....whereas Sept 11 was entirely different, people went to work in the morning and were never seen again by there love ones, like that without any warning. Talk about evil....

As I said before, rather appropriatetely I think, the lady plays a devilish game of tennis (proven once again yesterday by beating J Henin-Hardenne 2-0 in 1 hour or so) and who cares how she dresses, as long as she can play? I think that people are just feeling a bit weird seeing a person of color ...on the courts after the sport has been dominated by whites for so long. Well, they'd better get used to it coz the Williams sisters are here to stay and others are coming up too.Read More

this review just shows how little people accept the Williams sisters in the tennis world. What do u care how they dress??? The only thing that matters is that they play superb tennis. Why can’t people accept this simple fact? I was watching the French open semi-final and I could feel the hosti...lity of the public, I felt very sad for Serena as I feel that she was affected by it no matter how hard she tried to stay focused on her game. What to do, can’t change people’s mind-set, and here she is now at Wimbledon looking as fit as ever and playing the game as it should be played. Go Serena Go!!!
