Thanks, Dinesh ji. You have been a constant support and initial discussions with you and others led to finalisation of our requirements quickly. You continued to support with ideas like CMS2CMS migration. Infact, insisting on it. I think we should be thankful to CMS2CMS team, in particular Mr. Paul Hulka, for continuously providing support despite some issue or the other and finally delivering the superb migration after almost more than two months of their efforts. And that too much beyond the call of duty. -- With regards, J. M.
