From 1st class to 7th class I studied in Sri Krishna Hindu Upper Primary School
(S.K.H.U.P.School). I used to participate actively in competions conducted by
Balala Academy (Academy of Children). Specially our Telugu teacher Venkateswara Rao garu encouraged us to act. He himself writes script for dramaas and used to
act and direct at the local stage.
When I was in 3rd class, in evening our headmaster used to send for me to play
Chess. At that time our teacher would be teaching elementary maths (like
multiplications) and even now I am very poor in multioplications and devisions!
However, I used to enjoy a lot teaching how to play chess to our head master.
When I was in second class (I was 7 years old then) I sat for Sanskrit exams.
at the first level and passed with first class. Afterwards, my interest in games
and sports overshadowed my parents' wishes to see me pass all the five levels of
Sanskrit exams (which then will be equivalent to B.A. in Sanskrit).
My brother is the first teacher to me. He is 4 years older than me. He used to
teach me his own lessions. So, I was always ahead of my class. But, it eventually
made me interested in reading which is not needed for the movement. I always
enjoyed reading higher standard books. (When I was in intermediate (10+2) I used
to study B.Sc books and so on so). My brother was an excellant teacher and
motivator. My elder sister was my constant critic, and in my childhood, I was
always angry with her plain and frank criticisms which countered my over
confidence. But, as it always happened, she was correct in almost all of her
criticisms and she helped me a lot in realising my mistakes. My mother had
taught me Hindi, and at some point of time I was very confidant of my Hindi
that I stood first in may of Hindi Elecutions held in our local place.
From 8th class to 10th class I studied in The Hindu College High School.
We used to have lot of competitions and I enjoyed my time in this period.
In the campus, we have a small temple for Saraswathy. The idol was made from
marble. Every year, during dasara people used to come there for puja. It is in
this period I started participating in quiz competetions. In 9th class, our team
came first in the destrict and went to Hyderabad for participating in the state
level compitetion.
In 9th class for one whole year I did not paly any thing other than chess. One
fine morning one of our teachers accused me of being too much interested in playing
than reading. So, I immediately took a oath not to play for one year and I did
so!
I did my intermediate (MPC group) (ie. 10+2) from The Hindu College.
Our maths department had a single member, and we did not have any Sanskrit
lecturer. Our english department had only two members. So, we had lot of free
time and we enjoyed ourselves a lot.
I sat for JEE, ISI entrance examination and EAMCET. I was determined to go to
either IIT or ISI. I got 703 in EAMCET and was selected for B.Stat in ISI.
I joined ISI.
My father was an astrologer. So, I was naturally interested in astrology. I am still learning astrology. I happened to learn palmistry
in a very practical way. One day, I was holding one of my cousines hand and
every body assumed that I was reading his hand (knowing very well that my father
was an able astrologer). From then, though I do not know a bit of palmistry, I
was forced to read peoples hands as they believe that I am a palmist. As things
happened, gradually I reached a level where many of my readings coincide with
some other professional palmists' readings. The way I learnt it forced me to
belive that it was purely statistical science and convinced me that it is worth
studying. My knowledge of astrology (though it is very minimal) helped me a lot
in reading hands.
