G. N. SRIDHARAN OFFERS HIS CONDOLENCES TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY .
SRI R.RAJAGOPALAN OF BENGALURU IS NO MORE.
There can be nothing more saddening and shocking to all of us than the news of the passing away this morning (5/9) of Shri R Rajagopalan of Bengaluru.
The bond that existed between his and my family dates back to more than three decades when both he and Mrs Rajagopalan were working in the then Madras DO of LIC.After he permanently shifted to Bangalore also we continued to maintain that relationship till date. We both shared the pride that among the retired officers we were the only two who had taken seriously to legal profession and practicing for over quarter of a century , myself in Madras HC & he in Karnataka HC .As my colleague in the erstwhile legal committee of the federation he contributed immensely by his sharp legal acumen to the cause of the Pensioners.
Lately ,I had some serious difference of opinion on the administration of our federation. It did not deter him from sending me a sweet communication on only 17 th of last month greeting me on my birthday and his hope to resume normal work 'very shortly'.It is indeed unfortunate that his hope and our expectations stand shattered by his sudden end.
At this hour of grief my heart goes out to that gracious and unassuming lady Mrs.Rajagopal and pray that God grants her the strength to bear this loss.
May his soul rest in eternal peace !!
- GN Sridharan
