[MemoirBlogthon #60] As the certifying authority for cine theater building fitness in Machilipatnam in 1969, my father was privy to a unique, unspoken perk: free balcony entry and refreshments for his family. He initially refused, but when his staff felt they were losing the courtesy, he engineered a brilliant compromise. His rulesโprior intimation, small groups, and respecting management's comfortโallowed us to enjoy classic films and attend glamorous 100-day celebrations,

[MemoirBlogthon #56] My time at AIR elevated me to a minor celebrity status, especially during the Krishna Pushkaralu festival in 1980. While I was on live duty, groups of listeners, having obtained entry passes, streamed through the announcer's cabin, watching me broadcastโa surreal experience that left many surprised. But the truest validation came earlier: I gave my father and a visiting IIT Professor a rare guided tour of the studios, explaining the complex logistics of t

[MemoirBlogthon #55] With the need for live programming rising, AIR Vijayawada held auditions. My training under PEX Sri B. Ramanna Panthulu Garu allowed me to excel, performing tasks across three languages: Telugu, English, and Hindi. I was delighted to be selected and rated as an "A1 Grade Casual Artist'. This grading not only proved my versatility but made me eligible to contribute to multiple wingsโfrom News to Agricultural programsโwithout scheduling conflicts. My new r

[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

To honor their ethical business practices, we presented the award at their company premises.

[MemoirBlogthon#44] A dismissive comment from an esteemed journalist could have ended my career before it began, leaving me humiliated and disheartened.

[MemoirBlogthon#39] My father's professional passion didn't end with government service; he channeled it into the Institution of Engineers (India), elevating the local chapter to a full Local Centre in 1989. This high-stakes dedication to the engineering fraternityโand the faxed invitation I received to the inaugural functionโsowed the seed that pushed me to leave a small town and pursue my own success in the professional mainstream.

[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 Gandhiโs saying: "If you think right, you speak right, and you do the right."

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 #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 #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

[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
