This is a season of farewells for me. I have lost count of the persons who have already left or are being hauled up before the firing line by the Orwellian Big Brother in the last quarter of the year. The person, to whom we bid farewell today, however, had chosen to leave on his own. He is going as the Principal of R K International School , Sarkaghat, Himachal Pradesh. Mr S K Sharma was a colleague and friend. He belongs to the species of human beings whose company enriches you and whose departure creates a vacuum, notwithstanding the fact that Nature which abhors vacuum will fill it in its own unique ways. Administration is an art for Mr Sharma, though he calls it a skill. Management lessons, strategies and heuristics are only guidelines. No one can manage people merely with the help of these guidelines. People are not machines which can be controlled mechanically. Machines work according to rules. People do not do so usually. “... intelligent, alert people
