WOW!! I am really thrilled with ur enormously positive and encouraging response. I have been reading very closely all the political and some other relevant and interesting discussion in this forum and I was kind of thinking to write about u but again, I thought you would get offended and would reply with hostility. But you proved me wrong and I think this is the first step to feel confident with your words. I am happy with all of your confessions and commitment for engaging in academic and amicable discussions. Thanks a lot!! BTW, I have listened from my uncle about your gazaals, PhD from Israel and almost grown up kids!! (I guess even my uncle does not know anything after your PhD thing, may be you guys are out of contact even if both of you are in US academia!! Fortunately I was visiting my uncle place during the DC rally and when I showed him the DC rally Pictures from sajha, he happened to recognize you). Well I have started one thread ?How many PhDs in sajha?. I am really looking forward to hear about your research (sweet/better experiences!!) in that thread (only if you feel comfortable with sharing it in the public forum). Nut
