'highly respected on the IMF Board'

He was very knowledgeable -- very friendly and very soft spoken -- we had to very often open the dictionary to find the word and spelling of the specific word dear Gopi ji used during his dictation. He always wanted to find the correct and true information before he spoke in the [IMF] Board -- he would often ask his Technical assistant to search a specific quote or reference from a specific chair so that he could bring the past fact to light.

Especially whenever there was interruption in the dictation--he would start exactly from where he left the dictation. His dictation was so clear and concise that when we transcribed the same--he would just sign the letter.

I am told whenever dear Gopi ji spoke in the Board -- all listened to him very intently. He was highly respected by his colleagues in the IMF Board.


He was a thorough gentleman--we all loved him a lot and will miss him.
