Whoa, and wow, on a great article. Claude, I've always admired your articles on Rediff, mostly with Indo-China history and relations. Very glad that you came out of this ordeal alive and are in a position to say so. I'm supposed to be a Type A personality with cholestrol a bit on the higher side. Did manage to exercise and control by diet so far but have rather been very unkind to my body in the past six months. Thanks for the Tibetean reminder and hope you keep ship shape.
