Dear All, Destiny had dealt a major blow on all of us with the untimely and unfortunate demise of Dr. T B Rajashekar (http://144.16.72.189/raja/). An immeasurable loss not only to his family and friends, but to colleagues, professionals and to NCSI. NCSI-NET (an association of Past/present students and staff of NCSI - ), which was his brainchild, is like a ship without its captain. We had organized NCSI-NET meeting on Saturday, 4th June, as part of our monthly meeting plan. On 3rd he went to attend a marriage of his relatives, while he was rushing to return to Bangalore, his family asked him to stay back, to which he said "No, I have NCSI-NET meeting tomorrow and I have to attend". The alumni association never organized a meet without him (for more details see the attached message below). He was always there when we needed him and adjusted his schedule to match ours. The Agenda for the meeting on 4th June was a Brainstorming on "How to make a better professionals and Leaders: what it takes". The leadership aspect was added by him and he was to guide us with the same. But for the unfortunate event which has left us in a state of shock. NCSI-net was born in Feb 2001, and in his introductory talk he shared his vision. Three levels of contribution being: 1. We work as professionals to serve ourselves. 2. Start contributing to our organizations where we work 3. Start contributing to Society The net surged along with this vision in mind. In early 2005 Dr. Thimmappa Hegde, Neuro Surgeon, Narayana Hrudayalaya, Bangalore, spoke to us on Work-life balance. After the talk, Sir shared his observations to few of us through e-mail. A few among the 20 points, he shared were: 12. We are all going to end up as mounted photographs one day! So, what we expect others to think of us when we are gone? 14. What legacy we want to leave behind? As all of us know, he was a man of multi facets. He was our leader, mentor, guide, teacher, friend and idol who was always there with us. What he also taught us was never to loose focus, confidence and passion for the profession. We have lost you in person sir, but you shall always remain in our hearts with your values and inspiration. He always wanted NCSI-NET to surge ahead irrespective of his presence. We have now come to a state where we have to take lead forward. We at, NCSI-NET pray God to rest your soul in peace and give us the strength and courage to keep your vision going forward. NCSI-Net is organizing a condolence meeting on the Friday 10 June 2005, at 6:30. Exactly a week after the unfortunate accident. A humble request to all NCSIans to be there to pay our respects to the man, who has a major stake in what we are today. NCSI-NET coordinators

That's fine, Babu. I will be there.
Another aspect I think we need to think about is what makes people to become leaders? How does one develop leadership qualities? How our trainees can become good information/library profession leaders?
Best wishes on your efforts
Rajashekar
