Sir, the thread about retiring officers of AIR and DD is an excellent one and I congratulate you. Though I am no more in AIR/DD but I consider myself to be a part of this family as I have been there for more than 28 years.
In the list of officers retiring on 31.07.2012 I personally know two of the officers, both from programme side - Shri Rajesh Reddy and Kum. Chhaya Ganguly. These two are quite well-known in their respective fields. While Shri Reddy has been a renowned poet in the literary circuit, Kum. Chhaya Ganguly is best known for her lovely voice. Both of them are accomplished artists and I have had the privilege of interacting with them at different stages. This year's New Year Celebrations at Akashvani Bhavan were made memorable by Madam's rendition of her popular ghazals. Though I came to know about Shri Reddy around 1989-90, I came to meet him personally for the first time when he was posted at AIR, Ratnagiri and then at Vividh Bharati, Mumbai. When I was on the verge of leaving AIR in January 2011, I discussed with Reddy Saheb his contribution in the field of Urdu/Hindi shayari (though I had rang him up for some official business). He promised to send me a copy of his latest publication which I am still waiting for.
AIR will not be the same with retirement of talented officers like these two. I wish them a long, happy and healthy retired life.
Regards,
