[MemoirBlogthon #61] When the Prime Minister's visit required a secure, high-standard residence, the three-month deadline to renovate an old building fell to my father. He took the high-stakes assignment as an opportunity, transforming the structure into a palace-like VVIP Guest House. This feat of meticulous planning and ethical execution remains a lasting testament to his engineer's ethic and the unwavering integrity he demonstrated under political pressure. MB#61: A Feat

[MemoirBlogthon #59] My father's daily hour with the Telugu and English newspapers wasn't just a habit; it was a silent lesson in civic awareness. This ritual inspired my own contributions to the "Letters to the Editor" column, one of which unexpectedly became the focus of my banking interview, proving that readingโand contributingโto the newspaper was the most vital 'certification' of all.

[MemoirBlogthon #57] AIR assigned me a unique, challenging OB recording: covering Gliding training with NCC cadets at Gannavaram Airport. Never having heard of gliding, I sought help from my father, who, having been an NCC cadet and worked in military , provided a technical briefing on the air wing syllabus. 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,

[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 #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
