Yet Again :),
Guys I finally got hitched to writing!! , with
whatever that comes first to my mind, I’m in a mood to carve it down the
paper.. and this time I take on Bhavani !!!
Let me not try to make it
a confession one!! for obvious reasons :). There was this time where I had
wanted to see him beaten black and blue all over, for not sending a
simple hand-over. looking back today, all I
wonder is was it really worth it? And again I should confess, that in
spite of we both belonging to the same clan of the word “Disability” I
had never ever tried to really understand Mr. Bhavani until recently!
Undergoing myself through a series of surgeries and
therapy sessions, I eventually fell seduced to the comforts of pretty
nurses around :), where in Bhavani suffering Multiple Organ Failures pulled up his spirits to get back to his feet again!!
When Bhavani enters the floor, feet taps to the
beat of 1 2 3 cha cha chaa!! and the entire floor knows who started
working.. and again what a way it started, when Mr Reddigaru :) frequently visited the
smoking zone, Bhavani would have closed issues at our infamous SVB. And
when again Reddigaru merrily rounding the tea stalls.. Bhavani would
have completed the next outstanding requests. And
yes he did goof up… he did missed out a alert, a url, here and there,
and u see that is how we start to perfection. :)
Ubuntu being his passion and already made it to the
Board of UDC.. Bhavani has contributed immensely to Open Source… this
is not until I attended a OpenStack Conference with him.. that I
realized his true stature. With Canonicals and Dells
sitting next to him and getting a piece of his mind.. I was meekly,
sheekly over hearing the conversation :)…
The sheer magnitude of source codes that he maintains at the Launchpad site, shows how important
his work is for Ubuntu.. and Ubuntu being a competitor to itself.. I
see Bhavani growing to the name of Richard Stallman’s..
Now that his foot steps will no more be heard
amidst us, at our place. I openly invite the same footsteps to my GANG!! of whom I
call Avengers! :)
I take a bow for the very inspiration he has been to me today!!
