Both Professors Ravi and Chawla were assigned a string of zeros by me as founding members so as to appear at top of data base.  yet how can two ersins have same number?

Therefore, making a change now and  UID of professor Anoop Chawla is now  0000 0001 0000 0000 ji that for professor M R Ravi is now updated to  0000 0002 0000 0000  This and other corrections will be updated in amazon publications latest in November updates and those shall  hopefully be final until next year GBM on first sunday of September 2004  Best wishes to all  at service of all IITians everywhere  ashok
