Partha: I am amazed at your involvement with different communities. I am always interested in helping in any way I can.
I am in a position where I really need to help the people that are close to me, morally and by any other means, but will do everything possible to help anybody that really needs any help.
I also believe in helping people directly - in person. I like to feel their joy (and share the sorrow) and like to see the joy and relief in a person's eye, a big part of which sometimes even can happen just by my presence.
I will write to you more on the topic. Thank you.
Regards,
Alpana baideu.
