Dear Madam/ Esteemed Colleagues, Greetings! Sorry, we are not happy to see you retiring! Yes, the role model professionals like you should always be available. Being a younger professional, I had a great learning experience with you during the WSADR-2007 workshop at ISI-Kolkata (organised by Dr.Usha Mujoo-Munshi and Mrs.Bhomra Chaterji). My discussions with you are always cherishable and provide me enough strength to manage professional issues. You have been so kind, affectionate and motivating. As you have mentioned, please keep associating and encouraging the young professionals. All along, you had been living for your library patrons, and now, it is a time to live for yourself. Wishing you a "HAPPY AND PEACEFUL RETIRED LIFE". Be happy, God bless you more. Please take care and stay safe. with warm regards Puttaraj Choukimath On Fri, May 29, 2020 at 10:20 AM Meera B.

Dear professional friends,
I will be superannuating from my services at Raman Research Institute on 31 st May 2020. My journey in the LIS profession started in 1980 when I joined Library school for BlLibSc program and eventually completed MLib in 1982. My career started in 1983, when I joined ISRO and worked there for a short while. Later I joined CMTI in 1984 and from their moved on to join Indian statistical Institute in 1987. Worked at ISI for 24 years and during this time I was fortunate to acquire PhD degree from Bangalore University under the guidance of Prof. MA Gopinath. I joined RRI as Librarian in April 2011. My professional life has been satisfying and fulfilling. I had occasions to meet many eminent personalities from both the LIS profession and scientific community. I also had opportunity to organize many events, which were really learning experiences.
My retirement is only from my 9 to 5 official position and not from professional/academic life. So, Hope to meet you all in the days to come.
I will be around Bangalore. My personal email id, just in case required is meera.bunglow@gmail.com.
With best wishes
Stay Safe and stay healthy
With best regards
Meera
