This blog is not just a summary; it's a celebration of the discipline, the detailed planning, and the family support that sustained this World Record attempt to honor my father's centenary. I review the eight core pillars of his character that emerged, share the methodology that made this "herculean task"

[MemoirBlogthon #93] After a successful term as chairman, the ambition shifted to winning the prestigious "Best Chapter" award for the Hyderabad Chapter of ICSI. This blog details the pivotal role my father played. Having successfully chaired the Institute of Engineers local branch, he served as the ultimate mentor and evaluator. His central questionโ"Are you bidding for any award?"โspurred the meticulous compilation of the evaluation sheets. He didn't just review the conten

[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 #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. This is the story of how earning the right to ride forged a lasting legacy of self-reliance and meticulous upkeep. MB71: This is how I st

[MemoirBlogthon #68] In 1968, my father took my younger brother and me on an unforgettable "all-boys" Dussehra trip.

[MemoirBlogthon #67] A family trip to the 1968 India International Trade Fair in Chennai became one of my most formative memories, linking tradition and technology in one grand sweep.

I came back as a professional (ICSI Hyderabad Chapter Chairman) to conduct a career program, but the true honor was remembering the ethical groundwork laid by my fatherโwhose solution to leveling the school grounds with a road roller years ago proved that professional service is the most enduring legacy of all.

Armed with his knowledge, I secured permission to enter the airport. The true test came when the instructor agreed to let me fly with him in the dual-controlled glider,

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
