With the passing away of Prof. Kaula, the LIS profession in the country has lost a person who has become a legend in his own lifetime. I was privileged to listen few of his lectures and was really impressed with his powerful oratory skills and his passionate appeal to professionals to feel proud of their own profession. On behalf of the Library of the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, I express my heartfelt condolence to his bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace in heavenly abode. Prabhash N.
