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.
in the context of the discussion on IRC, the statement sounded ambivalent at the least. Me thinks that in matters like this one has to go out of the way not to sound sexist. Please note, I dont doubt your intentions - it is just that we have to be careful
