Sad Demise of Mr. Sankaraiah
by satya krishna savanur 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

I deeply mourn the death of Mr Sankaraiah, the Former Regional Librarian, British Council, Chennai.  He was my senior colleague at the British Council for nearly 16 years.  We have handled many reference enquiries together; I was closely associated with him in bringing out the Reference Newsletter for a few years; together we set up a book exhibition at the 70th National Science Congress at Tirupathi.  Sankaraiah was a voracious reader; he read almost on all subjects.  We used to recommend new titles to each other. His English was flawless. We have shared many witty, mischievous moments together.  He took pride in my progress in professional/academic field. He was more a friend and a mentor than a colleague.Even after leaving the British Council in 1989, every year I used to wish him on his birthday.  This year I will be missing him on 1 July, which happens to be his date of birth. May his soul rest in peace.SatyaDr S. K.
