Friends and Role models
Friends
Sri.Yagnanarayan :
In my career spanning over nearly forty years I made quite a few
friends.Essentially an introvert person friendship was more of an
accident than design.Upholding trust, steadfast loyalty and
extending helping hand even at short notice became hallmark of
relationship fostered between me and my friend
Sri.B.Yagnanarayan.Innumerable were our long walks on
Sampige Road accompanied by wideranging discussions on
variety of topics from Maddur vada to quintessence of Sankara’s
philosophy !He admired the little booklet presented to me by my
mother made in her own hand containing Sri Venkatesa
Suprabatham written in her pearl drops of handwriting. We used
to recite the Suprabatham every morning after bath when we
shared a tiny one room house on Palace Road.Our hunting for
onion vada sold in a shop on 18th Main Malleswaram is
memorable more for the aroma of fresh fried onion vada than its
actual taste.
