I actually came close +to the guy when I started seeing the commits from him on pypdflib +project, even though I was doing periodic commits to pydpflib my +commits were basically just back ground fixes and optimisations than +actual code for pydpflib core functionality. We did find few issues +and logged them in savannah project page \footnote{\url{http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=pypdflib}} and Jinesh starting to +commit on these issues fixing them one by one. He used to come online +and discuss things with me, we used to have very long elaborated +discussions. Still I didn't know what Jinesh was doing. It was then +Santhosh told me that Jinesh is in Hospital fighting Blood Cancer and +I was shocked to hear that. Because when you talk with him you really +can't make out guy is coding things and chatting from his hospital bed +fighting one of the worst diseases known to man kind. Well I didn't +interact much with him after that probably because he was undergoing +more medical therapies and was not getting time to come online. + +After one month or 2 I got the shocking news from Santhosh that Jinesh +is no more! I had no words to express and if you see the pypdflib +commit logs you will see last commits were made by Jinesh and after +him the project almost went to inactive state. There are a couple of +tasks which was assigned to me by Jinesh which I think I never +completed.\footnote{\url{http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?group=pypdflib}} + +In short words we lost a great contributor and a good friend.
