The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, 'Hey you. Can you help me out?' The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, 'Father, I'm down in this hole can you help me out?' The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on Then a friend walks by, 'Hey, Joe, it's me can you help me out?' And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, 'Are you stupid? Now we're both down here.' The friend says, 'Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.'" Anish sounds like that sort of friend that will jump down into that hole and lead you out, which is a good friend indeed. </blockquote><div> Indeed. A great friend !! </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> We seldom take enough time to acknowledge the mutual support we provide to each other as a community, I'm glad Ajay has taken the time to tell his story. Anish, It has been a great pleasure to work with you on improving the i18n/L10n of Dextrose, and I know your studies will command all of your attention; however, I will not say "good bye", but only "au revoir" and best of luck in your new endeavour. </blockquote><div> Indeed. A goodbye has a tendency to cause forgetfulness. But Anish can never be forgotten. Phir milenge .. :) Regards, Ajay </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> cjl Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator </blockquote></div>
