Not really, don't have much free time now.

It IS true about interesting threads, isn't it, @VCheng?

Amazing that simple consistent measures in moderation without pandering to any pseudo-patriotic claptrap can have such beneficial effects for all concerned. :)

Thank you so much. I missed you and those who are of your way of thinking; common sense and a sense of fair play are so rare!

Unfortunately, the reason I left, threats of official prosecution made by a Hyderabad-based khaki chaddi, hasn't really gone away.

I hope to stick to military history, and to avoid social comments; no point in those latter.

What the..... What have you done here for some Indian official to threaten you? Thats mad!
Anyway sir, i hope you are back permanently now and look forward for future engagements.

Reasonably good, considering that I am an obese 67 years old (66 years, 11 months and 22 days, actually) with high blood pressure and OSA.

More important, how are you? Sometimes the half-understood snippets about you are very, very worrying.

Control your diet. Better than ever, I sure hope tough times are behind me.

did you get it?

So sorry. I just got out of the exams., with 40 papers to correct. Will get back to you.

I provided a link to you, as per your request. I hope it is working fine, do check.

Will do Joe, though it may take some time. Part 3 is a little too long, i have to read a lot of content, Hamood-ur-rehman commission report and etc, etc. I will make sure to finish it as early as i can.
