Tributes to Shri Venkit

I have read all the tributes paid to Shri Venkit or Venkitji (he is Venkatachalam for me).  Yet, I have known him to be a calm and composed person with a good control over his work situation and with a capacity, not usually found amongst the tribe of PSs, to keep matters confidential and not to be provoked into offering any comments on confidential matters handled in his desk. I have often found that we praise certain qualities of the head and heart of a person (e.g faithfulness- hope it is faithfulness to the Institution and not to any individual however highly placed he may be in the hierarchy), integrity, devotion to duty even if in the popular perception (we have some times some evidence of this) we are not credited with those qualities! This continues to surprise me.
