[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.

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

[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.

[MemoirBlogthon #86] For my father, a retired superintending engineer, paying his fair share of income tax was a lifelong priority. When his self-acquired property was sold in 2012, his first step was not distribution but meticulous compliance. This blog details the rigorous process of seeking counsel from both a tax advocate and a chartered accountant to analyze three complex options for handling the capital gains, ensuring neither he nor his family would face future tax pr

[MemoirBlogthon #85] The Sanskrit sloka, "Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnu," emphasizes revering the teacher as a manifestation of the Divine. This philosophy isn't just theory for me; itโs a living tradition passed down by my father, who once honored his own Telugu and Sanskrit school teacher with a shawl, fruits, and new cloths. Following this example, I have dedicated my life to publicly and personally expressing gratitude to those who have shaped my professional excellence, inclu

Waiting for over eight hours outside the Registrar's office, I was ready to file a police complaint, but my father, sitting patiently in the car, calmed me, insisting on resolving the matter amicably.

[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 foundโa brilliant, meritorious graduate. This blog details the suspense of the search, the week-l

[MemoirBlogthon #75] On my grandson's first birthday, we gifted him a cycle with stabilizer wheelsโa 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.

[MemoirBlogthon #71] My father's condition prevented me from trading a rickshaw ride for a cycle: I had to learn it first. That quest for independence led me to secretive practice, self-taught maintenance, and the eventual pride of owning a โน200 olive green Philips cycle, a prized possession that became my loyal companion for over a decade.
