Audio / Visual Snapshot of Our Life in INDIA

Dear Friends,

As possibly my final blog entry, I wanted to provide a snapshot of our family life over the past 10 years; most of which were spent in INDIA. While it is not possible to pass around photo albums to everyone interested, it is possible to put together digital images of those years into a slide sequence; and while we are at it, why not set this digital slide show to classical Indian music? In order to accomplish all of this, I had to give it as an assignment to my youngest son, Ben, who is the most techno-savy member of the family. My oldest son, Brian, helped with finding an Internet site to upload and host the slide show file. My wife, Usha, selected the images; while I selected the music.

For those friends and family who have been reading these blog pages over the past months, we hope that this audio / visual presentation will give you some idea of our life during the past 10 years in INDIA (and a few snaps of vacations in the US).

Love And Peace To ALL,
BRENT

Please note that some of these sites which host videos will also arrange video options with related names just above what you are watching. For example, other's videos which also involve the name "Brent", may be posted just above mine. Rest assured, these have nothing to do with me.

Education is that which leads to predominance of divine characteristics in us over the destructive characteristics.You are truly educated

Your experiences have been an inspiration to understand the eternal nature of the truths enunciated in all scriptures

We do pray for you

May today there be peace within you,
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be,
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that
are born of faith,
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul
the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun.
He is there for each and every one of you.
With love best wishes and prayers
Christo

Dear Brent,

What a great way of remembering your wonderful life and memorise you have had and having with Usha, Brian, Brent with others in India and here in the US! Happy to see most of the pictures with you and your family and friends that you have taken in India which bring backs so much happiness to see you all again. Nothing is to comparable to having to remember the good olden days filled with happy moments at this stage.

I continued to pray to the ALMIGHTY to have a mercy on you to live longer with your family on this earth.

Ben and Brain you have done a great job to putting wonderful pictures of your family pictures. I am sure your dad is happy to see you both doing the things which make him happier.

May God bless you all.

With love and prayers.

Dear Brent and family,
I really enjoyed the slide show, well, and all of your thoughts, Brent. It was great to meet your children. Usha, you still have that "forever" smile that I remember when I met you at a family gathering long ago. Each of you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am a quilter. Yes, I do want to do something for you that is helpful. Let me know where I can help.

Dear Brent,
How are you, Brave Friend.
We often ask ourselves, why He put you through this test. And the answer comes He alone knows.
Your cry is not in isolation. His voice is the genesis and nemisis of every cry,every sound .For His is the only voice in the universe.
Our cries,our laughter are only echoes.In His great plan, He makes the body suffer, so that the soul
shines brighter.
Seek justice from Him and Him alone,Brave Friend,
Sending you lots of courage & peace, & sincere prayers,
Shobha & Chiranjeev.
