I am planning to add about 31 more scripts.

I'm okay with the change, but please add the same sample-text to the

Done.

I have also:
    1. added sample texts to other scripts which didn't have them.
    2. replaced the spaces with a tab in the sample texts which I had added.
    3. renamed Punjabi to Gurmukhi in its set-language-info-alist.

In etc/HELLO
I have:
    1. added a Gurumukhi greeting.
    2. replaced the Odia greeting, it was ଶୁଣିବେ (tl. Listen) earlier,
which I don't think is a greeting, therefore I have replaced it with
ନମସ୍କାର (namaskaar)

The "Hindi" greeting had a character at its end, U+0964, which

Yes, that was intentional, it was a full stop. I didn't think that it was
necessary, the other greetings also did not have it.

Period missing at the end of this line.

Oops. Fixed it.  The earlier news entry about Syloti Nagri did not have it
too, so I have also added it there.
