Hi, I am sad to know this news about User:Bhadani's demise. I knew him as a very wise person with an open mind. That he chose to write his autobiography as a Wikipedian <https://www.amazon.com/Choice-Chaos-Gangadhar-Bhadani/dp/1482888920> shows how much he valued the movement. My heartfelt condolences to his family. Ravi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Md.
