My dear friend and classmate. When I said 'Bye Raju' last Monday I did not realize it would turn out to be 'Good Bye' When you sent that last mail on June 1st - 'See you on 24th', I never imagined that . 24th may come and go but we will not be seeing each other... It never occurred to me - that I will be writing this requiem to you I am not going to sing paeans about your professional accomplishments - that is well known I am not going to write a personal eulogy either. I am only writing to express my anguish and melancholy... This is just to say, I will miss your quiet presence and support in our professional Collaborative endeavors Your alma mater- DLIS-Mysore is proud of you and misses you We will miss you dearly on 24th June- its 40th anniversary Good bye dear friend Shalini -------- Dr.Shalini R.
