A tribute to Professor P.K. Venkata Rao
Be-turbaned, fiery-eyed english professor was what some of his students at St.Josephs college, Bangalore remember him as.
Appa! with varying intonations was what my parents, uncles and aunts fondly remarked among themselves whenever they broached on a matter or a topic in which he was either involved with or had an impact on.
To me he has always been and will be a revered Grand Father, who continues to be my driving force in all my endeavours.
Professor P K Venkata Rao, as the world knows him, left his earthly form when I was barely a year and half old. But the influence he has on me is, as though, I live with him every day. It probably has come from what my parents, aunts and uncles bestowed on me; the respect I have built on, by reading his contribution to the english literature and the way he led his simple, yet majestic life. I have learnt that his notes on the Shakespeare's works are till date, the longest standing references for any aspiring student who wishes to pursue Master of Arts in English Literature
Professor P K Venkata Rao has been the inspiration behind this humble venture of mine. On this Teachers day, I fondly remember him and beseech him to always be with me, guide me and take Quantum Leap to greater heights
