Man of Simplicity
Mrs. Sulochana Venkat Reddy Fourth daughter
I am 7 born child in the family and fourth th
daughter of Sri Chinna Konnda Reddy. I am glad to have this opportunity given by my brother to recollect my loving reminiscences of my dear and kind hearted father. My father was a very simple man and “ajathashathruvu” (man having no foes). He was never angry with us. I don’t remember my father scolding nor punishing us with beating. We held lot of respect and regard for him. He was a devoted person in his work. He was kind and generous to the poor and needy. We have seen in him the virtues of patience love kindness, discipline and orderliness which we have inherited from him. In our daily family prayers he taught us several religious values. He was very intelligent and kept himself well informed about the current affairs. Even when he was sick and deteriorating in health he always was anxious to update his knowledge of current affairs through reading the news papers. My father’s ambition was to see the whole world in peace and harmony.
NAANNA Mrs. Shyamala Veera Reddy Fifth daughter W/o Veera Reddy, Rtd General Manager,
When my brother Y.S.Prakash Reddy asked me to write few words about my father, immediately I went back into the web of my past experiences and childhood life with my father. All the love that we experienced came alive to my memory. My father taught us very orderly life. He was correcting us with the words of delicacy and love. Before my marriage, he was always reminding me how to live responsibly as a woman, citing examples from my mother’s life. He taught us how to lead a content life with what we have. Such teachings of my

In the same way the virtues that we learn from my mother such as forbearance, patience, calmness, peace etc have become great human resources to our life after marriage.
We clearly remember the wonderful prayers offered by my fahter during different occasions such as our house warming, wedding function of my eldest daughter, when my son was going to America for further studies and so on. I feel very much proud when my husband often comments that my father outfits his father in virtues. Whenever we receive letters from my father we used to read them several times as they would be very informative and pregnant. In this way we always cherish our memories of my father. He was our spiritual guide and famiy philosopher until he took eternal rest in God. My memories will never fade away. I am grateful to my brother for triggering me to go back to my childhood recollecting all those wonderful experiences with my father.
