It is extremely sad to know a very shocking news on the Saturday morning. One of my colleagues informed me. I know T.B. Rajashekar, popularly known as TBR, since I passed my master's degree. He invited me to attend an interview for some post in INFLIBNET, way back in 1989. Later, TBR helped me a lot in my research project also. Whenever, I had some technical issues to be solved, invariably I depended on him. Recently he helped one of my students also to choose the area for his Ph.D research. I find short of words to express my grief. An information professional par excellence is no more with us. May the almighty rest the soul in peace.
