For me, since my childhood, READING was a great hobby

For my academic studies,
“ Venu Vinod ” .. My brother and “ Sudha ” .. my sister are idols !

For my Personal studies, I am my own inspiration.

During my 10th class, we shifted from “ Shakkarnagar ”
to “ Secunderabad ”, where,
I did my 10th / 11th and 12th in
Mahbub College High School in the years “ 1960-63 ”
Our school was once visited by
“ Swami Vivekananda ” himself !

When the shift came from Telugu Medium
to English Medium, it was tough !
My brother insisted that I Concentrate
on “ English Grammar ”.
He made me study “ WREN and Martin ”
English Grammar for six months
in the year 1960.
My English became “ OKAY ” and I thank
my brother for that !

From “ 1963 to 1966 ” I was doing my B.Sc.
in Secunderabad science College
From “ 1966 to 1969 ” I was doing my B.Sc. (Ag).
From “ 1969 to 1974 ” I was doing my M.Sc. (Ag.) and
studying for “ IAS ” etc intensively !

So much Reading before Enlightenment !
