[MemoirBlogthon#31] From 1991 to 1995, I was the company secretary for a five-star hotel, The Krishna Oberoi. The most valuable perk of the job wasn't the glamour, but the day I invited my engineer father for a guided tour of the entire premises. This memoir details his meticulous inspection of the luxury amenities and staff operations and the ultimate pride when I overheard him introduce me to his friends as "My sonโa five-star company secretary," proving that a parent's val

[MemoirBlogthon#30] My father feared my extracurricular activities were ruining my career. But in 1975, as president of the Jaycees Youth Club, I organized a major philatelic exhibition, JYPEX-75, inaugurated by the postmaster general. This memoir talks about the high-stakes event, the media coverage, and the important moment when my father, who was a stranger at the show, finally validated my work with three simple words: "Wonderfully done." It marks the end of his constant

[MemoirBlogthon #29] The years following my father's mechanical engineering degree (1947โ1953) were critical to his thirty-year career. Driven by a deep commitment to hands-on learning, he undertook an apprenticeship at Southern Railway Loco Works and gained invaluable professional experience as a junior time study engineer at TELCO in Jamshedpur. These experiencesโbacked by his college testimonials praising his "excellent conduct" and "industrious" natureโprovided the practi

MemoirBlogthont#28] At age 15, I literally found my passion in the form of an Agfa Click III camera on the road. My father, a man of practical caution, offered zero encouragement for the expensive hobby. This memoir reveals how I pursued photographyโfrom setting up a homemade darkroom to funding my upgradesโwithout burdening my family. Itโs a story of resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and the drive to master a craft, proving that passion, when pursued independently, always

[MemoirBlogthon#27]: In 2008, my father, in his mid-eighties, took on the painstaking project of compiling our family tree, driven by a philosophical belief that heritage is the guiding compass for identity and health. Preoccupied with my career, I initially offered him little support. Yet, his solitary efforts resulted in a magnificent, published chart that became an instant family heirloom.

[MemoirBlogthon #25] In my childhood, my father took me on my first visit to the Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad. It was a day of profound discoveryโfrom the excitement of riding a double-decker bus to seeing the spectacular Veiled Rebecca statue and waiting for the mesmerizing British musical clock to strike one. That day, my father acted as the perfect guide, initiating a lifelong appreciation for history and culture that I now plan to share with my grandson, comparing the

[MemoirBlogthon #24] My father's conviction in alternative medicine stemmed from a desire for a holistic, side-effect-free approach to health. His engineering mindset led him to an ingenious communication solution: rather than relying on memory during a consultation, he wrote the doctor a detailed letter. This simple act of precision and preparation taught me the crucial legacy I still follow today: always hand your physician a clear, comprehensive checklist. My father, Sri S

[MemoirBlogthon #23] November 14th holds special meaning for many in India. While it is officially recognized as Children's Day, for my father, it represented more than just a holiday; it was a day to honor the legacy of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. This day allowed our family to reflect on Nehru's contributions to the nation and to learn the values he cherished.

[MemoirBlogthon #22]: In 2010, my father insisted I prioritize receiving the IPA Proficiency Award over a family festival, guided by his principle: "Never skip such honors." This memoir details the prestigious event, but more importantly, the crucial etiquette lesson I received afterward: the necessity of personally acknowledging the organizers. I recount my father's advice to preserve the award "not as proud but with pride" and how his final counsel on professional etiquette

[MemoirBlogthon #21] In 1965, my father took on the voluntary and often challenging role of Secretary of the Vijayawada Officers Club. Through diligence, fair administration, and strict enforcement of rules, he earned a reputation as the "best administrator." When I questioned why he spent so much time there, he revealed the deeper "why": it was an invaluable opportunity to build connections.

[MemoirBlogthon #19] In 1991, my father served as a committee member for public sector bank interviews. He never spoke of it, but I discovered his handwritten journalโa meticulous, eight-page guide on what interviewers truly expect from a candidate. Covering everything from body language ("Don't put hands on the table") to communication ("Admit when you don't recall the answer"), this journal is a timeless ethical blueprint for professional success.

[MemoirBlogthon #18] The success of the JYPEX-75 philatelic exhibition led to the most important conversation of my career.

[MemoirBlogthon #17] In 1981, I faced a dilemma: professional studies or an immediate rural bank job. My father's wisdomโ"When there is pain, there is gain"โresolved it. My journey to the remote Kamavarapukota branch, facilitated by a government vehicle, felt like a "royal" induction, only to lead to the solitude of a travelers' bungalow and an empty kitchen. Yet, this challenging posting brought an unexpected mentor, a branch manager who insisted I acquire the CAIIB qualific

This memoir recounts the strategic meeting where the chairman gave me a bold two-word piece of advice that changed my life and secured my future, demonstrating the power of a mentor at a career crossroads.

[MemoirBlogthon #15] In 1970, after a chaotic year of moving between three different schools, I failed the crucial 10th-grade public examination. Surrounded by family disappointment, I broke down, but my father offered no judgment. Instead, he taught me the 70-10-20 Rule: 70% is how you react, 10% is what happens, and 20% is what others think. This single conversation turned my biggest academic failure into a lifelong formula for resilience, a principle I now use to guide my

This commitment was rewarded with a Certificate of Appreciation that lauded him for "bringing laurels to the alma mater with his distinguished services." This memory is the bluep
