_______________________________________________Thanks C'da. Our hope is that we get back to some sense of normalcy by being occupied, writing mails and getting involved in Nitin's trust fund.
Yes, Mano da & Bina (Hazarika) worked very hard all day that day and made a DVD of the whole ceremony - clear pictures and all, as it is made by a pro. Raja (Deka) and Hazarika too, blew up Nitin's pictures - baby and the latest ones that brought tears to the eyes of many that never had met Nitin before, framed them in beautiful collages and made the whole presentation a memorable one.
The Houston community was just terrific - extremely supportive, as usual, together when trauma hits a family. As a community, they are together in happiness and sorrow, no matter what. Parul Baideu & Bhindeu (Hazarika), Usha & Hiren da (Sharma) Jeena & Rabin da (Mahantas), Hazarikas, Kamal & Zina Deka, Rupa and Ashok (Baruahs), Lohit da & Manju Dutta-Barua, Bhuyans, Borthakurs, Goswamis, the Das', the Talukdars and everybody provided us with tremendous moral support for which we have been able to hang in there. I apologize if I forgot to mention anybody's name here. But in our minds, we remember you all for what you did.
It was just that only Nitin was not awake. But I felt like Nitin was smiling (and giggling as he always does when he is very happy) and telling me: 'Look Mom, everybody is doing so much for me! they adore me just like you and my dad does. Just be sure to thank each and everyone for me.' So, here I am thanking everyone from the bottom of my heart.
Mukul-da, thank you for all your notes - we've been reading them and finding a great deal of solace thru all the mails from all of you. We've saved the mails and will try to send personal notes to all of you.
However, your presence all the way from St. Louis, and that of Jugal's from Colorado and Tafuzul Haque's from Ohio and many others from every corner of Houston, Austin and Dallas also gave us tremendous solace and support at this lowest point in our lives. Your collective presence gives us that courage and fortitude to forge ahead inspite of this tradegy.
With regards,
- Alpana

Hi Alpana:Good to hear from both you and Ram.I agree, the pictures are beautiful. Rana did a splendid job. I am sure Mano Hazarika's videos have come out well too.Looking forward to having both of you back in the net soon.Best to you.c-daAt 4:57 PM -0500 10/11/05, Alpana B.

Rana Gogoi did a splendid job on holding the whole occasion in a perfect order, step by step - this is going to be a huge part of our treasure now.If I, myself, was not the unfortunate person here, it would have been beyond my imagination - how one can view (and talk about) her own child's funeral, surprisingly it has proved otherwise. It has been somewhat soothing - we realize that is the reality - these are the things that we will have to live with from now on.Our son will always be the usual witty, straight-forward, patriotic and vibrant young man living within us until we see him again. It is just that as normal human beings, we feel that God could have taken him 70+ years later, and that is, after us. But I have convinced myself that he is in a better place now, he is with God, from where he can see us any time, and I already feel that all the time now - he is helping me to take decisions.Once again, Ramgopal and I offer our heartfelt appreciation to all of you, from all over the world, for being with us - in person and in your thoughts and prayers - through phone calls, notes, cards and emails, and thus showing Nitin so much of love, care and affection.Thank you again.- Mala and Ramgopal(Alpana & Ram Sarangapani)Houston, Texas.
