The reason I mentioned my family friend is because I had in the back of my mind that I wish I knew someone who lived in Norway. I find a need to commiserate with someone about the tragedy in Oslo and Utoya.

I hope I haven’t gone over an invisible barier by writing this note. When I was about ten years old, this Norwegian man came to visit us in New York City. He and my dad met each other in Auschwitz. After the war Norway was kind enough to give him asylam, since he was afraid to return to Poland.

After meeting him, and learning about his journey, I had a special place in my heart for Norway and its people. When ever I hear anything about Norway, or read the name, I am alerted and have to examine the article or TV program.

I was devastated on July 22 and it brought back what I experienced on September 11. I lived in N.Y.C. most of my life, and was there that Tueswday morning. Please accept my my sympathy.

You are doing a great job on Back to Bhakti. I regularly follow the articles there.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with the web development. Since I have a full time job working with computers, I’m averse to spend a lot of time on it in my spare time.

I only like to write blog entries and the like, where there is no pressure and expectations involved. I don’t know how I can translate computer work to service in a way I will enjoy yet.

Regards,
Haridasi

Dandavat pranams. I saw your comment on BtB and thought I’d contact you to see if you would like to be involved in web development for our sanga, and if so on what terms.

It would great to hear from you.

Thanks and my best.
