This is a mail i posted in another list . copying here
“But the story of leukemia--the story of cancer--isn't the story of
doctors who struggle and survive, moving from institution to another.
It is the story of patients who struggle and survive, moving from on
embankment of illness to another. Resilience, inventiveness, and
survivorship--qualities often ascribed to great physicians--are
reflected qualities, emanating first from those who struggle with
illness and only then mirrored by those who treat them. If the history
of medicine is told through the stories of doctors, it is because
their contributions stand in place of the more substantive heroism of
their patients.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
i am writing this with tears. he was a close friend, co-traveler, and
colleague in SMC
Jinesh was a great fighter. He fought with Leukemia by contributing
code . His all major contributions came from hospital bed , as commits
in PYPDFlib and silpa project and editing of www-ml translations
shyam left out . In addition he used to write articles in malayal.am on various
topics . In FEC also he was quite active and contributed to various
discussion threads . He was one among SMC's Google summer of code
candidates in 2007 . His contribution to standardization discussions
such as critique to International Domain names standard for malayalam,
Inscript 2 draft keyboard standard etc was also commendable.
He was always available on google chat when he is in the intervals
between treatments , we used to talk a lot about various contemporary
topics. Jinesh was working on a paper about pitfalls in Biometric
standards UID adopted, and he used to send a lot of contemporary
research papers on biometrics to me .
Our last chat (around sep 4th) was about planning get together , when
he reaches home after treatments .
Whenever we asks about his treatment details he used to show these XKCD comics
