        I know Ramita (now Aanchal) from my student days.  We studied together while preparing for our post-graduate CA course.  Above all, she is a good human being and a great friend to have.  I found her to be a very intelligent and smart person, apart from being hard-working and sincere.  I am sure these qualities will stand her in good stead.  I wish her all the best!!
