[Sigia-l] My gratitude

[Pradyot Rai]

Yesterday I was just surfing when I came across this quote --

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then
you win." --Mahatma Gandhi

I remember Howard Dean famously quoted it last time, however it is very
apt to this scenario :)
