+\secstar{My notes on Jinesh}
+
+Jinesh, I never met him personally nor I knew who he was. he used to
+send patches once in a while to SILPA project. 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. Even
+though we never met he was really nice and cheerful person. I will
+miss him.
