                            Belonging to a poor family from a backward class, I
                            was born in Hosur Village &ndash; Gowribidanur Taluk
                            of Kolar Distirct. I completed my Lower Secondary
                            Examination (at that time it was called so) from the
                            same village school. At that time in the entire
                            &nbsp;Gowribidanur Taluk there was no High School.
                            With the help of my Head Master Sri M.S.Narayana
                            Rao, I joined National High School, Basavanagudi,
                            Bangalore. By staying in Poor Students&rsquo; Hostel
                            with free boarding and lodging for three years i.e,
                            in 1938. I passed the SSLC Examination.</span

                            beginning I had lot of interest in studies. To
                            continue my studies being poor &ndash; I needed a
                            hostel which gives free boarding and lodging. At the
                            same time &ndash; I was not for a Hostel on caste
                            basis. Only two such hostels were available at that
                            time &ndash; one Sri Ramakrishna Students Home and
                            the other Sri.B.K.Mariyappa Hostel at Chamarajapet.
                            As such I submitted my application for both the
                            hostels. Eligibility was there for me being poor and
                            passing SSLC in First Class. The interview took
                            place first at Sri.B.K.Mariyappa Hostel and I was
                            given admission &ndash; A DAY IN MY LIFE TO BE
                            REMEMBERED AND NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.</span

                            which many people would not have heard of. Students
                            were divided into two groups &ndash; one group Hares
                            and the other is Hounds. We used to collect the
                            waste and cut pieces of paper from printing press
                            and collect in gunny bags and store. The game was
                            played on a full moon or nearby full moon day after
                            the dinner. The first party &ldquo;HARES&rdquo;
                            leave the hostel carrying the gunny bags with paper
                            pieces and spill it paper pieces on the road creaing
                            confusion to the hounds. After half an hour
                            &ldquo;HOUNDS&rdquo; party will leave chasing the
                            &ldquo;HARES&rdquo;. &ldquo;HARES&rdquo; upto a
                            distance spill the paper pieces and then go in
                            different directions in groups. &ldquo;HOUNDS&rdquo;
                            were to go, chase and find the &ldquo;HARES&rdquo;.
                            However there was a time limit fixed and both the
                            parties are to return to the HOSTEL by the specified
                            time 15-16 miles we used to run and of course me
                            without CHAPPALS but the fun &ndash; pleasure was
                            inexplicable. At this time I wonder being young
                            &ndash; was there so much strength and energy
                            &ndash; the answer is yes and it was the fun
                            excitement and pleasure &ndash; which party wins was
                            not the point &ndash; it was the pleasure of
                            competing and enjoying. Yes after coming back to the
                            hostel BISIBELE BHATH/KESARI BATH and other items
                            used to be ready &ndash; eat, enjoy and happily go
