Thanks for the messages and sorry about the lack of updates. I have one from last month, but wasn't able to upload it because of the flaky internet. I also have one coming up about my mid-tour leave. <strong>Deanna</strong>, thank you for your kind words. Your support means a lot to us. Like I said before, I don't like to get political, I just talk about what I see. <strong>Dipika</strong>, glad to be a source of inspiration for you! College is great fun - don't worry, it will be the best time of your life. You'll learn a lot and you have a lot to look forward to. I used to hear about the war from the media too, but it's quite different when you're hear and when you actually experience it and talk to the people here. <strong>Somasekhara</strong>, thank you for your words. Your contributions to the article are always welcome. It has been some time since I've looked at it since I don't really get much of a chance to. I started it because I felt it was something that needed to be in Wikipedia. <strong>Divya</strong>, well we talked about (almost) everything about the war during that conversation we had that evening at your house. I'm happy that you enjoyed reading what I wrote. <strong>Tony</strong>, it's been a while! How's everything going with you? Fine, I hope! Where are you working these days? <strong>SSG Young</strong>, it seems almost yesterday that you guys relieved us, but it's been about 6 months. Just like you said, time does go fast. Glad you like the pics! Yes, we did have a spot of rain and some hail too! We'll take care here! You take care too! Hey everyone!

Had some rain????Hope you are all doing well-I sure am-I got out of the guard on May 5. At 51 years old it was really tough on me. With seven more to retire I would find it very difficult to achieve. YOU TAKE CARE Bill Young Illinois Hi Vivin!

Like a true Nair, you are in the battle field. I am proud of you. I found the Nair page highly disorganized. I made some changes mainly by alphabetizing and adding certain missing pieces of information. I added Achan, the surname of Paliathu people. After alphabetization it begins the list of surnames of Nairs. The lineage of nairs is through the blood-related female members of the tharawad (family). So Mallika Sarabhai is a Nair, eventhough she is the daughter of the famous scientist, Vikram Sarabhai. Nair women can marry Brahmins and other upper caste men and the progeny must become Nairs. This created many problems at the outset of the modernization which started in the beginning of the 20th century. So reformists from the Nair side and Nampoothiri side both objected to these customs. Eventually, even the Matrilineal system crumbled. These historical factors are not known to many now. Nairs are born of Nair mothers and nobody can dispute it, whether its Prakash Karat or Lakshmi Sahgal. All the Tharavads are having a female deity or Bhagavathi as Kula Devatha and a Sarpa Kavu (Sacred Serpant Grove) of their own. So sociologically the Nair caste remains and continues even now with their customs, temple festivals, art performances and feasts. I appreciate your contribution to it. You are having a very challenging job. Again let me reiterate, I am proud of you as a Nair. At the Mesopotamia front of the First World War also Indians fought along with the British in the desert. India Gate in New Delhi commemorates it. All my blessings to you, since I am much senior to you. Som Hello Vivin,

I love reading your entries and miss you terribly. We remember you whenever something breaks down on a computer or there is a conversation on salsa dancing hehe : ) So we are thinking of going salsa dancing this weekend and its totally not the same without you - you are the BEST dancer - good thing you are sharing your moves out there with the amateurs : ) Sadhu got to catch a glimpse of Prem's band - their music is FANTASTIC!
