Yes the origin of Bhairitu is from Barry2 but it is more complicated than that. When I subscribed to a.m.t my Usenet handle was Barry based on my email at the time and it was fictional name I used in a band (handle on top of handle). The three of us in the band all had fictional names and all were TM'ers and one now lives in Fairfield. Some of the folks on a.m.t started calling us Barry1 and Barry2 so I just Hindicized it to Bhairitu which in Hindi would be "brother Ritu" which would be weird because Ritu is a female name. So the handle is also a bit of cognitive dissonance.
The tropics I was thinking of was Kerala in India. Nice communist state but you wouldn't know it because businesses thrive there and Cochin is a very modern city. Problem is they drive on the wrong side of the road in India. And then they play "chicken" a lot when they drive. Also spent a few days at Ammachi's ashram in Amritapuri. You could throw a rock in the US and probably hit someone with a pitta predominant constitution.
