		<description>Hi Sam and Vidya Pradhan, 

The website is not up and running. But the place is very much in operation and is lively. My mother is in SSM residency and I visited her just last week. When I was there I told the office that their website is not working and they seem to be unaware of this. They thought I had the wrong address and since I wasn't sure if I tried .org or .com I did not argue.
Don't judge them based on the website.My mother has been living there for over a year now and is certainly very happy with their services. I understand that they are becoming a little bit commercial, but at this stane age it is rare to get good service even if you are ready to pay. I stayed there for a couple of days and to be honest I felt that she is in the right place. The temple there is so beautiful and very well maintained. There is a meditation centre, a shop, a library and a  hospital with beds.  The security in the place seems to be very good and nobody is allowed without prior permission and all details are recorded. Each room has a phone and you can get broadband if you want.  Most people have Airconditioning for their bedrooms. The  capacity of the Generator was insufficient due to the huge increase in load caused by ACs this summer and they have immediately purchased a huge Generator unit to fix the issue. During my stay I spoke to several people there who my mother has made friends with and almost everybody said that the place is good. Ofcourse there will be exceptions. Not everybody will like everything. But in General, I think it is a good choice.</description>

		<description>Kudos to you for thinking about colorless gases in the midst of a colorful extravaganza.   Now the Chomskyan phrase "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" becomes much more meaningful to me than ever before :). I believe that it is mavens like you and other Alex Steffen-s of our time who can persuade and propel the world into a Bright Green future.  Best Wishes.</description>
