I am sorry to note the demise of Dr. V Bhaskar. I know Bhasker from my students days. We were friends. He was my senior by 3 -4 years . . When he was doing his Ph.D under Dr.B. A.Razi , I was an M.Sc student in the Dept. of Botany, Manasa gangothri. I was working for my taxonomy dissertation thesis on Fortwall flora of Srirangapatana under the guidance of the same professor (Dr.B.A.Razi , the legendary taxonomist). He used to guide the students of M.Sc Botany during outing ( plant collection ) . Later, he joined U A S , Bangalore and continued his taxonomic work. I could not continue the taxonomic work as I joined CSIR- CLRI and had to work on environmental biology (environmental biotechnology) . I met him on few occasions in Bangalore after student days. He visited my house in Chennai during 2007 / 2008 and later exchanged few goodwill messages after I settled in Mysore. He was a dedicated hard worker known for perfection. Meantime, he was very disciplined. His contribution was very high. A great loss to scientific community. Dr.Mahadeswara Swamy .
