In the past three or four years of my study in Canada, I have received numerous emails from fellow students back home requesting for journal articles and other academic resources. When I get such requests, I try to act promptly with enthusiasm. Our students are brilliant and catches things very quickly. They can analyze things very critically. However, their condition is like a powerful machine without any fuel. I (and perhaps others living abroad)  take my pleasure to provide them with a little bit of support whenever they need.

I was quite right (you don't need to be a statistician to predict such a call). I picked up the phone and the person at the other end began with the typical note:

Voice: "Hello, may I speak to Mr. Raheem"

-Yes, speaking.
