“For dear Sadhana and Vijay – Creators, Designers and Shapers of Thoughts and Dreams. Thank you for all.”
Inscription by Amita Desai, publisher of the book, Sastriya Pranayama: Ancient Yoga Breathing Techniques and Practices
“I must single out Vijay Ramchander, technically the language editor but effectively far, far more, a collaborator. This is not only because of my own impairments that made editing more difficult, but also due to his outstanding character and impeccable integrity.”
Author Bhimeshwara Challa in India: The Road to Renaissance
“I worked with Vijay and Sadhana of Blue Pencil on the book ‘The Renaissance Man - ‘Doc’ M V Sridhar’. They were very professional, knew what they are doing and delivered more than we expected - always on or before time. Throughout the process they gave valuable inputs, timely suggestions and were extremely generous with their time and expertise. What I liked most was that they ‘owned’ the project as much as we did, which made the process enjoyable, synergistic and fruitful. It made it possible for us to fine tune the book to the degree that we wanted. I am very impressed with their work and their work ethic and strongly recommend Blue Pencil for all pre-publication work.”
Harimohan Paruvu, Author
“It’s been great to have worked with you. I’ve always admired the efficiency and tedious care for quality. You are one of the best service providers I’ve worked with. Being able to rely on you on in managing our publications cannot be measured. Your patience in welcoming all our tight deadlines and delivering it on time. your meticulous recording to follow orders. Your ideas on layout and voluntary editing. It is such an ease that just by email layout and printing for FARA is assured. Quality and timeliness that is your greatest asset.”
Myra Wopereis-Pura, Former Director, Access to Knowledge and Technology, Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), Accra, Ghana
“If this book is being published without unreasonable delay the merit should be primarily granted to our supporting editors Sadhana and Vijay Ramchander from Hyderabad, India. In my long career, I have never worked with editors such as Sadhana and Vijay, who can associate professionalism and competence in editing with such a high degree of commitment and abnegation, who have the perspicacity, the interest in the subject, and the sound judgment to help not only in aspects of form and book organization, but also on matters of subject content and substance. For some parts of this book, they even deserve to be considered co-authors...”
