He chaired and coordinated a session at the conference organized by the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment in association with IITM, Chennai, RCIS, IPLM and Informatics last October at IIT Madras as part of the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. I had known him from his IGCAR days. My heartfelt condolences to all members of the bereaved family. May god give them the strength to bear the loss. K. S.

A sad Sunday. Dr. Venkateshan, has suddenly left for his heavenly abode this morning, leaving us. Starting his career as a scientist (metallurgist) in IGCAR, he made librarianship a successful career there and came to national prominence as he moved up in the LIS ladder to IISc and Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. A vibrant, fun loving and amazingly enthusiastic person, he made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and led three years ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model to remember and continue after him. I worked with him closely when Informatics had launched Infovision 2005, an annual event then. We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace. -- *SATHYA* *|*N. V.
