 \secstar{Memories of a Brother}
-I still remember the incident when I met Jinesh for the first time. I was working as a lecturer in MES, during that time (in 2005). Once there was a tutorial and hands on session organized by the 'Open source community' of the college. Since I didn’t know anything about this, I went to attend the session. During the hands on, the tutor was telling the commands very fast, I was struggling. One of the volunteers of the program approached me, and patiently helped me to complete that hands on session. He impressed me a lot at that time itself. And the boy was one other than Jinesh.

-One interesting thing that I remember about Jinesh was his passion towards food. Even though the mess food in IIIT, is not that great, he used to pick up a good amount of food and eat it completely. He never used to waste any food saying that its not tasty. This is a habit that I really appreciate (since I cannot follow).
