So kind of you Venkata...!!!
Ref: BOSLA LECTURE AND BOSLA ELECTIONS : MAY 10, 2008.
Ever since I heard you talking at TISS (BOSLA Lecture) on "Future of Librarianship - the Road Ahead"..........I was indeed restless to talk to you.........interact with you! It so happened that the organizers of the Lecture could not manage to give time to the audience....for interaction with the Speaker and the distinguished Chair of the session (Prof.A.C.Tikekar). I thought I will have a little time later after the lecture is over. Oh no!.........I couldnot indeed. What followed not the least, was the process of election and nominations....and the associational business of BOSLA. Rest is now a history! Prof.Koganurmath got reinstated as Chairman and Prof. Kademani bagged Vice-Chairmanship........ Congrats gurus!
The evening after....ie on May 10 I desparately tried to talk to Venkat.......the lines were not clear he could not hear me. .... Of course I told him that I will call him back later. I tried to communicate to him by a mail......................gosh.......the mail gets bounced....! Spoke to Vijay and told him that I am unable to reach his boss........he said he will give me a mail in the morning, which did not happen. I thought may be it is not the time..........I may get in touch for interaction..........later elsewhere. Surpirse!.........may be it was........at 4.00pm today......a sweet voice......of an young Librarian was heard over my telephone.....yes it was Venkat.......hats off. This is what a professional is. Prof.Tikekar in his lecture was telling............. : the serivcies of the librarians earlier used to get terminated.....and now the services of the librarians never get terminated........
Now you see...............till he reached me to speak........he did not close the matter. What a warm communication. Venkat your you have grown as a professional beyond your age and qualifications......hats off.............
Who are the role models in our profession,..............Professors like Prof.Tikekar are yes..........ad to the list names like R.Venkata Kesavan.
The journey of professioalism never ends............Venkat keep it up..........Cheers.!!!!!!!
Librarianship is a happening and a happy profession.Good night all.
