[MemoirBlogthon #97] My fascination with philately, which began in college and led me to organize the successful JYPEX-75 exhibition (detailed in MB#30), created a lasting connection with the Postal Department. This memoir chronicles the ambitious dream of commemorating my father—a man whose philosophy is worth emulating—with a special postal release. While a full commemorative stamp was prohibitively expensive, a visit to the Hyderabad General Post Office revealed a surpris

[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. While the committee debated celebrity access, my heart was set on the Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner, Dr. Akkineni Nageswara Rao.

[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 mementos—from Rotary International medals and banking recognitions to accolades from schools and colleges for my career guidance work—my home office became overwhelmed.

[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; it’s 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

[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 #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

The journey climaxed with the spectacular Jamboo Savari procession in Mysore, but the true test of our bond came later, during a terrifying moment of being stranded on a deserted, darkened platform at Madras Railway Station.

[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

It wasn't until I salvaged his documents late in his life that I fully realized the astonishing depth of his lifelong commitment to learning and professional excellence.

[MemoirBlogthon #38] Vijayawada's Gandhi Hill was my preferred Sunday activity. This memoir explores the central mystery: why my father, who restricted other outings, silently approved every visit to the hill. This is India's first hill memorial to Gandhi, inaugurated in 1968. I connect his silence to the hill's historical significance and his personal ethics, rooted in Gandhi’s saying: "If you think right, you speak right, and you do the right."

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."

[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

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
