It was Prof. Neelameghan (formerly of the Division of BDA, UNESCO and former Head of the DRTC, Bangalore) who first gave me the sad news by phone in the morning of Sat.4th June; later Dr Christina Louis of the IAP called from the RRI around 2 pm on the same subject. I had a visitor from Boston for the better part of the day (an NRI, and a long-time family friend), who was leaving for Madras by the evg. Shatabdi enroute USA. Nevertheless I took some flowers and reached the residence of Rajasekhar a little after 3 pm, only to find that he body had been taken away for the crematorium. I left the flowers with some children in the house, being taken care of by a lady next doormentioning my name to that lady. I am so sad that a dynamic young professional who had achieved much and who had so much more to give of his leadership to his colleagues & dedication to the profession has passed away. May his soul rest in peace. Nagarajan (Retd. / former Head, Regional Centre, INSDOC, IISc Campus,Bangalore) Res. Phone: 2334 0922
