[Priyanka Alok Jain]

Hi Paul and Karl,

Everything has a finite life and a life well-lived is what matters most. This forum had been a great help for many years. We learnt from each other, often argued in a civilised discourse, respected divergent point of views but with a common goal of creating a better world. We might have not been using the forum much inputs few years but our purpose hasn’t wavered.

It was a pleasure meeting Paul a few years ago when I was still working with the metro company in Hong Kong. Since we are connected through several other channels, I am sure our paths will cross again.

Good luck and best wishes to all. My contact details are below. Stay in touch.

Take care,
Alok Jain
