[MemoirBlogthon #95] For my father, collecting music was a cherished hobby, dominated by His Master's Voice (HMV) 78 RPM records of Hindi and Telugu film hits. This memoir revisits the fascinating era of transition in the 1950s and 60s, moving from bulky shellac discs to the microgroove vinyl LPs and 45 RPM singles. It details the tactile experience of the old spring-wound HMV player that needed a new pin for every few records. The climax was a shared family contribution in 1

[MemoirBlogthon #68] In 1968, my father took my younger brother and me on an unforgettable "all-boys" Dussehra trip. 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 #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. My father's thoughtfulness, from a holy pilgrimage to a treasured mechanical gift, taught me how important it is to share an experience with someone else.

[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

[MemoirBlogthon #52] Our family has always followed the spiritual practice of Annadanam (food charity), rooted in the belief that "Food is Divine" (Annam Para Brahma Swarupam). This legacy, learned directly from my parents, became the heart of my father's centennial birthday observation in November 2025. To honor his values, we organized a community lunch for 80 supporting staff in our gated community's double car parking spaceโa simple but profound gesture affirming his asp

[MemoirBlogthon#35] In 2012, my father made the painful decision to sell his dream house in Vijayawada to prioritize peace and proximity to his family in Hyderabad. This memoir details the bittersweet necessity of trading a life's work for new apartments and culminates with a visit in 2020. I found the house neglected, but the mango tree my father planted decades ago still stood strong, bearing fruit. I could only pick a bag of mangoes and say a "sad goodbye to the majestic

[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 #6] For forty years, my mother worshipped the Rajarajeswari Chakram, the sacred geometric symbol of the divine feminine. When my parents relocated in 2009, my father faced a logistical and spiritual challenge: how to continue the daily rituals?
