Its a shocking news that Dr Venkadeshan passed away on Sunday-- an
unbelievable news hard to digest. He was very active in the professional
circles in Hyderabad since his assignment at ISB. He was  cordial and
used to share his experiences on professional matters by  associated with
a large number of  Conferences and Seminars that were held at
Hyderabad.  LIS professionals miss him a lot. May his soul rest in peace.

A sad Sunday. Dr. Venkateshan,  has suddenly left for his heavenly abode
this morning, leaving us.

Starting his career as a scientist (metallurgist) in IGCAR,  he made
librarianship a successful career there  and came to national
prominence as
he moved up in the LIS ladder to IISc and Indian School of Business,
Hyderabad. A vibrant, fun loving and amazingly enthusiastic  person, he
made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of
scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and led  three years
ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model
to remember and continue after him.  I worked with him closely when
Informatics had launched  Infovision 2005, an annual event then.

We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace.
