[MemoirBlogthon #96] Despite a childhood marked by failed attempts at instrumental musicโfrom noisy drums to a breath-straining mouth organโmy fascination remained strong, fueled by my mother's Carnatic heritage and a chance encounter with Veena exponent Ms. Echampati Gayathri. At the age of 60, prompted by her advice to try the digital keyboard, I secretly enrolled in a music school. This blog details my six-month journey under the guidance of Mr. Jason, who, despite special

[MemoirBlogthon #95] For my father, collecting music was a cherished hobby, dominated by His Master's Voice (HMV) 78 RPM records of Hindi and Telugu film hits. This memoir revisits the fascinating era of transition in the 1950s and 60s, moving from bulky shellac discs to the microgroove vinyl LPs and 45 RPM singles. It details the tactile experience of the old spring-wound HMV player that needed a new pin for every few records. The climax was a shared family contribution in 1

[MemoirBlogthon #94] Winning the Best Chapter award in 1996 was a milestone, but it was not the end goal.

[MemoirBlogthon #93] After a successful term as chairman, the ambition shifted to winning the prestigious "Best Chapter" award for the Hyderabad Chapter of ICSI.

[MemoirBlogthon #92] Driven by a goal to "give back" and promote the Company Secretary course, I secured my M.Com. as an external student. In 1996, during my term as ICSI Chapter Chairman, I aimed to conduct an unprecedented number of career events. This blog details the strategy inspired by my father: target the university leadership. By inviting the vice-chancellor of Osmania University, I transformed a local chapter event into a win-win collaboration, proving that the CS q

[MemoirBlogthon #91] In 1996, as I took charge as Chairman of the Hyderabad Chapter of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), the challenge was set: secure a prominent Chief Guest for the Annual Fellowship Meet.

[MemoirBlogthon #90] Growing up, I saw my father's office adorned with trophies and certificates from his decades of service in the State Government Roads and Buildings Department, planting an early seed of inspiration. As my own professional journey led to a wealth of awards, citations, and mementosโfrom Rotary International medals and banking recognitions to accolades from schools and colleges for my career guidance workโmy home office became overwhelmed.

[MemoirBlogthon #89] After a decade of dedicated service from my 1987 LML Vespa scooter (detailed in MB#\_72), 1995 marked a critical professional crossroads: transitioning from an employee to a practicing Company Secretary and taking on the chairmanship of the ICSI Hyderabad Branch. Following my father's strong recommendation, I acquired my first car: a green Maruti 800. This sedan, secured through his network and registered with a number that became my first email ID (sury

[MemoirBlogthon #88] For years, I was known in Rotary circles as the โCareer Man,โ driven to take my successful Career Guidance projects overseas through the coveted Group Study Exchange (GSE) program. Despite my commitment, three rejections on "flimsy grounds" left me deeply disappointed, leading me to believe the program favored major donors or past presidents. Yet, guided by my fatherโs motivational quoteโ"When one door closes, another door opens"โI pivoted. This led to a

[MemoirBlogthon #87] In 1968, amidst the once-in-12-years Krishna Pushkaraluโwhen devotees flocked to Vijayawada for holy dipsโa small advertisement captured my imagination: a private charter flight offering 30 minutes over the city for Rs. 50. Though my sister worried about the cost, I was mesmerized, running out three times a day just to watch the flight and hear its roaring sound.
