To get the answers to these Mrs. Jyotsna Kamat questions you should meet her and spend a few moments, First, she is never conscious of her office. This makes you ab- solutely at ease with her. You discuss any subject with her, you get enriched because her expertise is vast and deep. Se- condly, her dedication to the duty cast to her is phenome- al. It looks as though she is born to convey the message of Akashavani to the masses and raise their cultural level. And finally, she is not a slave of the rules. "Rules are there as broad guidelines. It is our manu innovative spirit that should find out a way to achieve the impossible out of the maze of these rules", she says.
The foreign students' cultural meet,the veterans' singing spree, the children' stalent display not to forget the perlodic music concerts all arranged with love and warmth by the Mysore Akashvani spoke volumes about this great lady. Invitees or noninvitees, those who went to these functions, were trea- ted as though they were guests at a wedding reception.
Well Madam, In the days to come we will miss you very much. You carry with you te citizens' gratitude and affection. May you climb higher and bigher and succeed in making AIR more human and humane throughout the country!
