SHRI J MATTHAN, EX. CHAIRMAN, SHRI K. R. CHANDRASEKHAR, SHRI A. BALASUBRAMANYA SASTRY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I deem it a privilege to join all the
dignitary-pensioners in paying my respects and homage to the
distinguished personalities above-mentioned and pray the ALMIGHTY
to place the departed souls in eternal peace.
I had not known Shri Matthan Sir but our
Visakhapatnam Division was privileged to have him here for the
inauguration of the prestigeous 11-storeyed LIC Divisional
Office Building in 1979, Through a senior colleague
Development Officer who had been from the "New India", I had
known that Shri Matthan Sir also was from the "New India".
Shri P. Subrahmanyam was perhaps the Divisional Manager of the
division and incidentally and strangely he too was from the
"New India".
Shri K. R. Chandrasekhar was DM at Visakhapatnam when
I was Development Officer at a rural centre in the
division. I had the honour to have him with me and my agents
in a meeting during his tour to my headquarters.
I do not have any knowledge about Shri
Balasubramanya Sastry Sir but going through the rich tributes
paid by several veterans among the pensioners fraternity about
his attributes, I can understand that Shri Balu Sir had
endeared himself to all by vurtue of his noble character and
his urge, dedication and commitment to serve the fellow-beings.
Really such personalities are rare these days. I am happy I
have chanced to know about him thro your blog.
A small observation: While paying encomiums and
tributes to Shri Balasubramanya Sastry, a dignitary mentioned
Shri Balu Sir as a "simpleton". The word 'simpleton' gives a
different meaning, I don't need to elaborate, obviously it
was intended to assert that he was a man of simplicity, or
for a plain understanding, a simple man.
M.V.P.R. PRASAD (Visakhapatnam)
