[MemoirBlogthon #53] In 1971, my father introduced me to the fervent devotion of a colleague's family on Sathya Sai Baba's birthday, noting the miracles they witnessed. Years later, jobless and worried in Hyderabad, I received my own unexpected miracle: a dream where Sai Baba placed his hand on my cheek and consoled me. This divine promise led to three job interview calls within two days. My first visit to the Puttaparthi Ashram, where I secured a first-row darshan, validated

[MemoirBlogthon #52] Our family has always followed the spiritual practice of Annadanam (food charity), rooted in the belief that "Food is Divine" (Annam Para Brahma Swarupam). This legacy, learned directly from my parents, became the heart of my father's centennial birthday observation in November 2025. To honor his values, we organized a community lunch for 80 supporting staff in our gated community's double car parking spaceโa simple but profound gesture affirming his asp

[MemoirBlogthon #51] My father lived a remarkably healthy life until 90, a vitality he attributed to his daily ritual: reciting the 31 verses of Aditya Hrudayam while sitting in the morning sun, often after applying olive oil. This sacred Hindu hymn, given to Lord Rama to secure victory over Ravana, became my fatherโs "kavacha" (armor), instilling unwavering confidence and dispelling darkness. Today, I continue this legacy, listening to the hymn in a voice that resembles his,

[MemoirBlogthon #50] A heartfelt request from a celebrated educationist presented my father with a tricky ethical problem involving government property. His brilliant solutionโturning a community favor into a mandatory vehicle trialโtaught me a masterclass in professional accountability and service.

[MemoirBlogthon#49] As the Superintending Engineer for the Roads & Buildings Department's mechanical circle across Andhra Pradesh, my father mastered systems management (like his innovative three-tier maintenance) but prioritized people management. I witnessed his philosophy firsthand when he addressed a highly corrupt officer not with punishment, but with two hours of private counseling, proving that leadership rooted in dignity and respect builds relationships that last lon

[MemoirBlogthon#48] In 1973, a casual interview with a newspaper chief reporter led to the publication of my life philosophies in the Andhra Patrika. This memoir talks about how proud my father was when he gave me a typewritten translation of the article for my birthday. The piece, which declared my intent to marry by parental choice and my aim to become an engineer, served as a lasting blueprint of my characterโa treasure that remains a touchstone today, despite the career

[MemoirBlogthon #47] In 2011, as president of a Rotary eClub, I organized a Vocational Service Award for the head of J & J DeChane Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company whose herbo-mineral medicines our family had trusted for decades, thanks to my father's early adoption. To honor their ethical business practices, we presented the award at their company premises.

[MemoirBlogthon #46] In 1996, I arrived for an All India Radio interview on the company secretary career, only to observe that the casual artist assigned to interview me was late and unprepared. Drawing on my 16 years as an A-Grade AIR artist, I ended up drafting 25 questions and mentoring the interviewer to salvage the broadcast.
