dear farrukh, moderator, shirin, everyone

living on the otherside of the world to most of you guys this list serve is my connection to my dear class mates, i like the bulk and enjoy all the postings.I happened to come across this list serve by pure chance(i'm truly disappointed that a bigger effort was not made to find me!!!), prior to this i missed my friends and was envious of everyone getting togather off and on, but life is busy and it was an abstract thought, now i'm unashamedly jealous of everyone getting togather for appna and the likes. but seriously until i became a part of this listserve i had forgotten how much my class mates mean to me.

so god bless you all and continue the list serve.

and farrukh who chooses the supreme d 85 council?????

AS WE FIGHT CANCER

As two of our colleagues put up a gallant fight against cancer, we want to let the world know that in this fight all of us are with them- shoulder to shoulder. We share their anguish, their determination and their grit. Our every moment is shared with their thought and prayers of complete recovery for both. We would inshaAllah do all we can to help them achieve complete recovery- inshaAllah o Taa-aalah.

D85 Blog- As the grounds get prepared for a more extensive communication

AOA:

Check out the D85 Blog where eventually we would be posting anything that we want to put up, so long as we don't go after each other. Dissent and heated discusions there on the blog would be OK, personal insults definitely not. I think we are all ready to collectively grow up. Those who are inclined can have a bigger say, those not- no problem. Articles/Music/Poetry/Misc can be put up at http://www.dowdoc1985.blogspot.com/. Even this mail would be uploaded directly on the blog. Chicago and other photos would ONLY be available through the blog and not through the listserv. Links coming up.
