Ashu,

Sorry to hear about this ugly turn of events at Himal Media. I am glad to see you speak out about it publicly. From what I have known of you through your online avatar, you are not one to be easily intimidated, and I am sure you will get past this issue with same resolve and resilience that you have displayed on Sajha over the years.

I recall several years ago where there was this one guy who kept attacking you on Sajha and  most of it turned out to be total BS coming from someone who had a grudge against you and a score to settle. I  admired how you handled yourself - sticking to your principles, getting right back on your feet, always speaking up from the courage of your convictions and never hesistating to make your voice heard. Those same qualities will get you through this one too I know for sure.

I don't know what else I can say or do to be of help but I wish you the very best and hope you'll come out on the other side of this a winner (which to me you have always been)

I'll leave with with these two quotes, which have been a great source of inspiration for me over the years:

(1) The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy -- Martin Luther King

and

(2) Tough times don't last but tough people do -- Robert Schuller


A well wisher,

CH
