Safe, but

Finally tracked down my Nepal family today - Sanja is up in his family village with his brother and family whose home was destroyed but they and the animals are safe although others were killed and injured in the village.

Geeta, the beautiful baby I helped deliver on the kitchen floor 23 years ago finally managed to email today too:

namaste mom.
how are you?
its really been a longtime.

my yahoo was not working so i opened gmail to find the mail I sent you  due to some reasons it was not sent.
Nepal is suffering from quake. 7.9 Richter.
the whole economic system is down.
its been 14 days and business has collapsed.
for 1 week we were sleeping outside of home. fortunately no harm in Pokhara.
Kathmandu has been destroyed. all monuments. museums all gone.
tragic moment.
I'm currently working in club for helping victims and college continues.  Raju is joining consultancy. (He is qualifying as a Civil Engineer)

Mum"s shop has moved two block back due to the renovation of that restaurant.
we all are safe...
