The comment was not meant to be derogatory and I apologise if it sounded
so. I didn't mean that Kushal did all the work for her, just that she is
known to us as Kushal's girl-friend (that too because Kushal talks about
her quite a lot on IRC & his blog). That is all. I apologise once again
to Kushal and Ria if that sounded like I was pulling their legs.

Regards,
BG
