Me:
When I was in school, in our schools, there was no Sanskrit class, so it was not a choice. In College level, I did not really look into taking it although it was there, as I felt it would be too difficult, the college level Sanskrit. So, I took Hindi, Well I could have taken Kannada also, my mother tongue which I had studied through High School
Dr KISHOR SHARMA (He/Him) 9:58 AM
Oh Kannada is your mother tongue.

PLEASE HELP YES, OUR CHILDREN SUFFERED, WERE TARGETED, YES PLEASE HELP, SPREAD theWORD, CHANGE theBUZZ, TRANSFORM TO REALITY. HELP=YESoursons future POTUS sufferedtargeted world dramastage, meFIRED jobsBLOCKED bigshock wife&sons hardwork spread theword DOyourshare DOitNOW Shilpi wedding done, seekingSUITABLE bridefor Kaviraj
world drama stage, we are actors, everything we do on any day 24x7 is our acting role that day, all days put together it is our life on the world stage, acting is done means life is over, we try to do the best we can with all our pluses and minuses, desires, skills, biases, egos, arrogances, strengths, weaknesses, others helping, others hurting etc all included, not everything in our hands, this "acting" is our life journey, takes us to our destiny, fate, divine will, it is only way, NO CHOICE !
We are seeking suitable bride for our elder son Kaviraj, we appreciate everybody's help, support, good wishes, good vibes, blessings, spreading the word etc, it is a pleasure to seek and get your help. thanks very much. best wishes.
Although in severe shock and great stress, we have faced the challenges and moved forward crossing the barriers biases impediments etc that came before us, it was tough, not easy, for my wife and sons and the others also I brought up my two sons Kaviraj and Shilpi as future presidents of usa, with that attitude/ outlook/ mindset, supporting and encouraging the leadership nature already in them. They are born in usa, grew up in usa and consider themselves as Americans. The country, the people and the whole world including India where we parents are originally from will need their leadership and contributions to go forward towards better future vision in true spirit of America. It is the nature of truth, nature of nature, nature of humanity.

Hmmm.. Thank You Dr Kishor Sharma
PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS. SPREAD THE WORD. THANK YOU.
general info --->>
the boy and the girl have to talk to each other, they must like each other, they must respect each other, be willing to support each other,
and if they are happy, we are also happy, and we parents bless, and try to provide any help and / or support if needed.
our role is more like a good positive catalyst, trying, hoping, praying for things to happen, for the best.
(from india or here or elsewhere, does not matter. these days in the age of internet, there is not much culture gap, and adjustment,
language etc are not hard, if both girl and boy are willing and interested, and if parental support is also there, in my opinion --
and often there is confusion among parents as well, in addition to any with boys and girls, perhaps).
basically the boy and the girl have to agree, and, get married, and be together afterwards, we are just facilitating, helping in the process. that's the approach we are taking.
any help will be much appreciated. we will be grateful.
and, please feel free to get in touch with any of us, including contact or talk directly, with kavi and /or shilpi. we encourage it. (also photos attached below) -->>
thank you and best wishes.

Me:
From my perspective, both our sons are great kids, A++++.. + any number of times, everybody around them likes them, bosses, colleagues, employees, clients, friends, family included, and we were expecting them to do much better, in job positions, salary, life etc and that has not been the case. (previously also racial-cultural type discrimination was there ,, despite challenges, surviving and trying to move forward) ... So, that's the broad reason for my saying our sons targeted, suffered, and that should not have been Like "normal state of affairs" .. of course, i also never got a job at that level after the termination in 1992, wife also was initially targeted, but it did not work as she kept on working very hard and everybody around her appreciated it, supported her and then they gave up, that is only after realizing that going on that path will backfire seriously on them. Similar applies to our various other siblings also, on both sides of the family. So, I have good reasons to say what O have been saying, (!!!). Sorry about it, (since It is not pleasant type news)
