Dear Dennis:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I) with a very interesting news article about
President Obama in Japan.
(2) Pls retrieve Reference (a) above for the story how the Hiroshima atomic
bomb started at Columbia University.
(3) References (b) and (c) mentioned of my in-direct experience with the
Hiroshima bomb.
BTW, those
references (a) to (c) mentioned of Buddhism — Buddha was born in Bihar,
where is your home district in India.
(4)
As mentioned in the References (d) and (e) above, we will have a demonstration
(*) of gaming/simulation on the energy policies proposed by Former Vice
President, Mr. Al Gore and President Barack Obama to replace fossil fuel with
renewable one to generate electricity in the United States in relation to
appropriate allocation of oil revenue in Niger Delta of Nigeria, -- What would
be the consequences to other economic and social structures in the US and in other
countries, particularly Nigeria? — This is because 95% of Nigerian
revenue comes from oil export, 40% of which is exported to north America.
(*) This is to be held
during Global Symposium on: Climate Change and International Peace and
Security, Global Challenges and Global Solutions: Interdisciplinary Approaches
Center for International Conflict Resolution (CICR) in the School of
International and Public Affairs (SIPA) of Columbia University in May 2010.
(5) You may know that, while President Obama was an undergraduate student at
the SIPA, his first paper on the ÒNon Nuclear WorldÓ was published in the
student newspaper of Columbia University.
Dear Richard:
(6) You may be familiar with the above — referring to your talk on
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty at SethÕs seminar a few years back.
BTW, I recently talked
with Seth mentioning References (d) and (e). He very much pleased our
successful visit to IBM. He is hoping to resume his Columbia University
monthly seminar in a month or two. Hope to see you there, then.
Dear Dennis:
(7) What we need now is a cross pollination of Eastern and Western cultures for
jointly creating a new Global Culture and Civilization of a global society in
the knowledge age of the 21st century by youngsters around the world with the
use of advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
(8) Lastly, but not least, I greatly thank you for your msg (ATTACHMENT
II) with kind words.
Thank you also again for your cordial invitation to the inauguration
party of the Vihara Foundation - home of the Bihar Project (Reference (f)
above) in the evening of November (not August) 6th.
Wishing you a very good luck to your wonderful endeavor.
Best, Tak

Subject: Appreciation of
support - The Bihar Project
Dear Dr. Tak:
It was a great honor to have you join us this Friday 6th August, 2009, for the
inauguration of the Vihara Foundation - home of the Bihar Project.
I am personally very impressed with your life long dedication and work to
making this world a better place, and I am thankful of your contributions to
our humanitarian initiative - The Bihar Project.
As we discussed, may I suggest you narrate and make available (for the benefit
of present generation) the part of your personal odyssey as it relates to your
stories of close (teenage) encounter with participation of becoming a soldier
of global conflict (WW II), and that of your life long work in providing
solutions for global conflicts. Your work is remarkable, and I see you as a
great humanitarian and human being; this is important to be brought to
perspective, as we tend to take the sacrifices of the past to lightly (I am a
big fan of understanding WWII history).
May you be blessed, and all the best,
Your Friend,
Dennis Ramdahin
