I am out on a quest to make my mark, discovering the new and shaking old ideas,.....and in this process hoping to change some views (even harmful cultural ones). Will you join with me to discover new horizons? Currency of this journey: Open hearts and minds, especially for us Asian folk.

I wrote a first post - an accolade to a writer that had had the courage to work in media for about 65 years in South Asia (first woman newspaper editor in that country - after Independence from British) ....and had been forthright and open, even surprising people and challenging cultural status quo in little ways). But when i phoned her, she was livid angry about genealogy i had done, and put on the web. That is why i had met her/heard about her in the first place. It was not the reaction i expected when i phoned her long distance to say that i had written a delightful post about her. I was so frightened, that i deleted it all. No problem solving, no hearing my side of the story...... never expected such.
