Definitely interesting Japnams, thanks for the post.

Just for some perspective and really nothing to say about M. Singh.

I’ve met and to an extent got to know a few extremely qualified, distinguished, highly respected etc. people. Some of them are truly amazing people, some others are rather inept as human adults.
