Dear Vasanth,

I am enclosing article on our pilgrimage in Part 1 and Part 2 and two photos of Swamiji taken at Haridwar on March 20, 2007. Part 1 includes trip details of Vaishnodevi, Amritsar, Jallianwala Bagh and Wagh Border. It may take about two pages. If space does not permit, you may omit Jalianwala Bagh and Wagh border. If possible, try to include one of the photo of Swamiji. Part 2 includes temples in Himachal Pradesh, Haridwar Rishikesh, Delhi andMumbai. Part 2 also may take two pages. You may print Part 2 in next issue.

Dear Vasanth,

Here is this year’s analysis of the 2008 Khabbar Mailing List dated 12-10-2007:

Of the 2,160 families in the list (it was 2,120 last year!), we have Konkanis living in 44 states & DC (same as last year!). We still do not have any Konkanis living in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming!!

Also, we have:

221 Kamat(h)
208 Shenoy, Shenai, Shanbh(o)ag(ue)
211 Pai
149 Nayak (Naik)
121 Prabhu
90 Rao (u)
83 Bhat(t)
42 Baliga
34 Kini
34 Mal(l)ya, Mallia, Mahale
32 Nadkarni(y)
20 Bhandarkar, Bhandari(y)
18 Kudva
17 Hegde
14 Acharya.
15 Hatt(i)angadi(y)
12 Kop(p)ikar

The Kamat(h) families have maintained their lead. California still leads with 510 families (11 more than last year!) and San Jose, CA has the highest number of Konkani families living (74)! It was 73 last year!!

Keep up the great work.
