Dear friends, I missed a lots of interactions in the group during last few weeks mainly due to short of time. Sorry about that. Last week I was in the ICSB conference here in Oxford, USA. I fully agree with Gurcharan ji's honoring of Pankaj Kumar. I don't think it is about personal. Appropriate behavior in a mixed public forum like eFI is essential in maintaining a decorum and cordial atmosphere in the group. The title "most matured person in the group" explains the evolution of a particular member's attitude in the group (not in personal life, as we have not seen many members and do not know all personally). We can not forget the 'shock treatments' received by Pankaj in the beginning and fortunately he used them positively as stepping stones and thus he has now reached great heights and got this title. This is really a great achievement, Pankaj! Congrats. There is a proverb in Tamil. The paddy stands rigid and straight when there is nothing inside, but it bows and bends its head (panicle) when it develops stuff (grain) inside. Maturity is measured by simplicity and forgiveness and not by anything else, if I am right.
