so true .. wife is such an integral part of a man's existence .. and to see her suffer so much with a terminal disease hurt so much that all prayed for her deliverance from such pain and were rather happy that she passed away :-(

this would be a landmark work .. to update you, i have concieved AND created a new script for sanskrit .. based on pitman's shorthand .. using lines like - / \ | and arcs .. easy to understand, remember and use .. these can easily be designed i cf .. and impemented for use on ga144 chips .. will need your help to create a simple editor to write with these characters
this will enable recording of tons of folk songs and oral literature of sooo many cultures of india who do not yet have a script

will wait for that
