A worthwhile post indeed.

I saw a terrible tragedy and yelled at God, "How could you let such a thing happen? Why didn't you do something?"

A little while later, God's answer came: 'I did do something. I made you.'"

It will take time and energy to be healed
from this most tragic community wound.
For the families of the victims there will be only grief and despair.
For us as a community there can be healing...
by helping those who suffer and are in pain.

The thought is good and noble, but I honestly think you should remove this list. Several of these people are definately alive and I think they'd find it very unpleasant to find themselves listed as "dead".

On the other hand, many who lost their lives are not on it and the rest of the names are to a large degree misspelled.

Seems "officials" (police etc.) haven't even bothered to correct the initial mistakes made during those horrible, chaotic days before making it public as the "final list".

Best regards

Dear Mr. Roychoudhury:
I couldn't find an address for you so use this venue with the excuse that Ashok Kapoor was a classmate. Despite being the sports-hero & darling of our class he was very friendly with geeks like me. A good man even if famous.
Thenk you for your recent comment on my review of Churchill's Secret War. Would you say that Indians are among the bad historical record keepers of this world? You may write to me at
nacharya@verizon.net
Thanks.
