"bloody perferctionist, good for nothing"

Here is a Librarian, known for his systematic and orderly works. He never gets tired of bringing order either to books or papers or files or things. He became very upset and sad and got into depression, because one of his close colleagues termed called him, "bloody perferctionist". I told my Librarian friend, "Dont you worry, it is a complement, whatever could have been the body language and the tone, thank your colleague." - LbnRaj ; moorunaaku.blogspot.in ;

“With the advent of computers, communications and hand held devices, the idea  of Library as a silent Place of Reading is under constant threat. How can Place of library as a venue of silent reading, as a venue where books are shelved the way the knowledge flows in highways and byways, as a venue where you silently meet like minded and unlike minded readers, as a venue where you feel the past and present writers and thinkers live together for the current and future readers. As Norman says it is a venue where history comes to life, present becomes more lively and future comes in  so handy a way.” – LbnRaj ; https://www.facebook.com/LbnRaj
