I am shocked. The last mail I received from Prof. Sena was on 8 December - not even a week ago and now he is gone.
During the last one year he has been guiding us about the copyright problem. He had shared all his information and introduced us to all concerned which allowed us not to reinvent the wheel. For those who dont know, Prof. Sena had made the first and only presentation to the Parliamentary Committee about our copyright problems and requirements. I am going to personally miss the knowledge, guidance and support that he used to give us over mail and telephone and which we would have needed as we go into the crucial phase of the copyright issues. Sad loss indeed and bad timing. Kanchan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Col.
