Dusi ... again

I have uploaded the finished version of the Dusi website. Take a look at:
http://dusi-roots.zxq.net/index.html. Send me your suggestions, if you find something lacking or wrong.

Donations for the temple rejuvenation have started trickling in. I will wait till 15 Dec., and then stop my campaign for collection of donations. Of course, you can still send in your contributions, directly to the "kainkarya sabha" which is actually the prime mover in this project. The address of the "kainkarya sabha" is in the Dusi website mentioned above.

Let's go to Dusi

"Dusi" a tiny village near the sacred twon of Kanchipuram, in Tamil Nadu, South India, is the place to which I can trace my roots. After several years, and a lot of effort, I have come across some people who are keen about doing something for Dusi. I thank Mr. Prabu Veeravalli for the initiative he has taken. I will be putting up details, on the web, very soon. There is a blog post further above, about my Dusi website.

If you, or your ancestors, are from Dusi, do get in touch with me (drpartha@gmail.com). Pleaase do NOT fone me up. I hate fone calls. I do not like being disturbed while I work.

I have also set up a family tree of my "Dusi family" at ::

My roots .....Dusi

I have been trying to get a good picture of my own roots. I did a lot of research and hard work, and created the "Dusi family tree" and put it up on the web, at ::

http://algolog.tripod.com/dusi.htm

just so that this information is not lost. I now need a young volunteer from my family, to take over the tree and keep it up-to-date. No one has responded till today.

If you are reading this, and if you are part of the above Dusi family tree, please get in touch. Let this heritage not be lost forever.

BTW, I was in Chennai last week, and met two people whose families hail from Dusi. They had found me, thanks to the dusi tree, and had contacted me. Although I could not find any link from them to my tree, it was a pleasure meeting them and talking to them. Strangers find me, but my own kinsmen do not seem to find me. How sad !
