[MemoirBlogthon #82] In the 1970s, as I transitioned from school to college, my father insisted I master lower-level typewriting—a skill then often relegated to clerical work. He believed in the "touch typing" technique as a necessary, self-reliant skill for my entire life. This blog travels from the high-pressure classroom filled with the rhythmic clatter of typewriters and timed drills to the quiet efficiency of today's keyboards. It details the mechanical curriculum, the

[MemoirBlogthon #81] I agreed to the alliance, but I was reluctant to hold the wedding in the bride's remote village, Balantram, preferring my social circle in Vijayawada. My father tactically overcame my objection by appealing to sentiment—the wish of the 90-year-old grandfather—securing the village as the venue. This small compromise earned me a free hand to manage the wedding logistics, from invitations to video recording. This blog details the charm of the traditional vi

[MemoirBlogthon #80] Working as a bank cashier in 1983, I was inundated with marriage proposals after placing an ad that drew over 200 replies. Yet, the choice was governed by my father's careful adherence to the family's traditions and the values I had espoused in a 1973 newspaper interview. My heart was set on a working woman, but my father insisted on a prospective bride he'd found—a brilliant, meritorious graduate. This blog details the suspense of the search, the week-l

[MemoirBlogthon #79] I developed the art of giving personalized Certificates of Appreciation to volunteers in my professional and community service projects—a systematic process involving orientation, customized printouts, and public distribution. This entire philosophy was nurtured by my father, who taught me the enduring value of immediate, personalized recognition: it builds long-term relationships and transforms a simple gesture into a job interview asset. His wisdom insp

[MemoirBlogthon #78] Our part-time servant, Ramanadham, was honest, diligent, and indispensable, even staying in our government quarters outhouse. But when my mother's black-beaded gold necklace vanished before a function, suspicion quickly fell on him. The case against him was fueled by rumors, a failed test with an Rs. 10 note, and a terrifying prediction from an astrologer using an oil lamp. Though he fiercely maintained his innocence, he was driven away by the police thr

[MemoirBlogthon #77] The dedication page is a simple yet profound tribute to a life's mentor. For my first book, Self MOTIVATION111 (2018), I chose to honor my father, Sri Susarla Subrahmanya Sastry, praising his uprightness as a government engineer and acknowledging the "guiding hand" on my shoulder. Though readers often ask about its purpose, I know the significance: it sets the ethical tone for the entire work. This blog post explores the traditional practice of placing a

[MemoirBlogthon #76] I still possess my parents' 1946 wedding card and photo from Amalapuram, etched with a peculiar English footnote: "Please send your rations in advance." Growing up, I didn't understand its significance until my father explained the realities of British-ruled India—the scarcity of essential goods, ration cards, and fair price shops. This simple plea became a powerful symbol of their marriage: not extravagance, but meticulous planning, shared sacrifice, and

[MemoirBlogthon #75] On my grandson's first birthday, we gifted him a cycle with stabilizer wheels—a choice directly influenced by my own delayed, difficult experience learning to ride. My father taught me that skills must be passed on, and honoring that legacy, I patiently mentored my grandson through every stage of cycling, from gliding balance to confident main-road riding. His appreciation—likening my teaching style to the Mahabharata’s Dronacharya—affirmed that the true

[MemoirBlogthon #74] In 1970, our weekend trips to Manginapudi Beach in my father's official Willys Jeep became my classroom. Thanks to my father's trusted driver, Mr. Ahmed, the unique challenge of operating a left-hand drive vehicle on black sand turned into my first, formative lesson in driving confidence and technique.

[MemoirBlogthon #73] Decades after an operator granted the landline phone as a luxury, my father, a super senior citizen, became the inaugural subscriber to our new fiber optic community hub. That final, maroon-colored instrument remained a cherished symbol of his quiet embrace of connection until his last breath. MB#73 - BSNL phone phases from operator switchboards to Fiber Optics.
