After the much touted and much publicised millennium rave party by Mumbai tycoon Jay Wadia was banned by the High Court in December 1999, I was witness to two rave parties in January 2000, though on a smaller scale, but where the corruption by the police was displayed in its full naked glory nonetheless.

In another model for group mind, this time celebrated among the rave counterculture, this connectivity was itself a pre-existing state.
