We are much more than our profession.
Human being first. My career started with a corporate banking firm soon after I finished MBA, which was promising. This was after a 45-minute interview, which was actually a wonderful discussion. However, I decided to be with my family in Bhilai and be of practical help to one of my parents who was recovering from an accident and who was a great source of inspiration. Consequently, I left before I can get the official joining letter, which was pending receipt of MBA result card by informing Mr Shankaran, the then relationship manager at BBK Hyderabad, who appreciated my frankness. As such, this doesn’t appear in the formal resume. I don’t have any regrets and I cherish that I was of practical help to my parent and family. Later, I cleared the written test for the Staff Selection Examination yet couldn’t make it to the post-interview shortlist. After briefly working with an auditor and taking home tuitions, I appeared in an aptitude examination for a six-month course conducted by SIDBI at IIT Kharagpur. While I cleared the test, the concerned faculty advised me to reconsider as I already had an MBA degree. This was again a rare suggestion. I came back to Hyderabad and got an opportunity at ICICI Bank after clearing a computer-based written test, which was followed by an interview. Fortunately, I escaped unhurt in a bus accident near Nagpur while travelling to formally join the bank. I consider this as a turning point because in an instant moment, things could have gone either way. It was a fascinating experience to communicate with people while working at ICICI and to understand the effort that is involved in developing various innovative banking products. The opportunity to work in publishing came with the ICFAI University Press (Selected after clearing written test and interview. Roles: Research Associate and Senior Research Associate). While I cleared the written test when I gave it for the first time, I couldn’t appear for the interview as I couldn’t get leave on the date of interview. At ICICI, our division was working in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Due to some elections in the former, all leaves for Hyderabad team were cancelled on that day. It was a great experience at ICICI and when I visited one of the branches later, I was proud of the Bank. I appeared and cleared the written test as well as the interview when applications were invited again at ICFAI. My MBA background helped me in understanding the working of the wider academic publishing industry. This was followed by a tenure at EC-Council (Selected after clearing written test and interview. Role: Assistant Editor) and Oxford University Press (Selected after clearing written test and online interview. Roles: Associate Editor, Editor, and Senior Editor). I cherish the value addition gained from working with ICICI Bank and various editorial roles and teams in various organisations, namely, ICFAI, EC-Council, and Oxford University Press. It was great to be part of various editorial teams and to work with authors, faculty members, copyright, design, operations, administration, communication, development, commissioning as well as freelancers, typesetters, and vendors. After the initial contribution to books and magazines in 2007, I realized that I had something valuable to contribute to the world and turned to writing on various topics. From writing articles, book chapters, seminar papers, blogs, white papers, editing modules, to editing manuscripts, reviewing edited manuscripts, letters on causes, microblogs, I worked on a wide range of subjects, themes, and ideas. Now with authoring books, there are many bridges to cross and valleys to discover with letters and words. Writing is just one of the many mediums to contribute to a better world.
We are fortunate to have many languages. Yet we often come across debates on languages. Some languages are at the verge of extinction. My endeavour is to come up with works in my mother tongue Telugu as well as in several Indian and other languages. . I don’t wish to limit myself to a particular genre or category. If people are wondering on science topics in non-fiction, I was a science student who opted for commerce stream instead of science after tenth as there was a craze for CWA, CS, and CA courses in those days. I do keep track of developments in biological and other sciences. Similarly, quantitative techniques was a subject in MBA and CWA stage 2. Hopefully, we will come across some fascinating discoveries. My writing projects are my own ideas. Living beings do face challenges occasionally. It’s a comeback time after an injury. Still, I went out of my way to communicate on various national and international topics, which is a thankless activity. My gratitude to all who had the faith. To the rest, my work during my lifetime is the only response that I prefer. There are many other additional ways to contribute to the society, nation, and the world. I qualified in the Andhra Pradesh SET (Examination Centre wherein appeared: Visakhapatnam. Mode of Test: Offline OMR-based at the Centre) and UGC NET Exam (Examination Centre wherein appeared: Bhilai. Mode of Test: Online Computer-based at the Centre), which opens up the possibility of a combination of teaching (subject to application and recruitment process) and contributing further academic or related work as well as publishing various forms of literary and non-fiction work.
Wars can destroy lives and places. All lives are precious and I support peaceful resolution of conflicts amongst countries. With gratitude to be a citizen of an independent country, I believe India together with other nations can play a greater role in promoting peace and stability in the world. Our world can be a much better place to live in.

| Volunteering | Trained as a Shot@life Champion (online mode): Shot @ Life works under the UN Foundation. I communicated with the then Campaign Associate to understand the role of Shot@life. The learning was that their activities were primarily US-based, which was out of my purview. As such, I limited my volunteering to create awareness. I actually prepared a comprehensive calendar for 2017 on awareness of various diseases. It coincided with the launch of the measles vaccine in India. However, Shot@life already had an in-house calendar, which I shared voluntarily with many with whom I had access to communication. In general, people in India are aware, and various governments have been active in disease prevention initiatives. Yet it’s a large country, and it’s not necessary that everyone has access to information on preventable diseases. In a later communication in 2017 with the GOI, on my own, I suggested awareness via public transportation/public places, which resulted in prompt communication from the Immunisation department, MoHFW. It was assuring. Most of us had no idea at that time that we would have Covid from 2020 to 2022. I did write voluntary posts on various SM platforms on timely vaccination. There was a voluntary ticker on the blog (from the beginning). Even now, the ticker on this site’s homepage has a mention of it. Those involved must take up concerns, if any. Healthcare involves lives; hence the need for people involved to ensure high ethical standards. I had raised concerns whenever I had found something was not in line with expectations. On the positive side, knowledge (not search engine-based) helps in easier conversation with the health fraternity as well as in understanding the severity or otherwise of something. Those close to me and people who I have engaged with are aware. | December 2016 | |
| Volunteering | Nuclear disarmament: While some have a problem if I discuss this cause, some others think it is all about marketing if I am not discussing this cause. What many fail to understand is that once one communicates with the government for a cause, it’s a permanent record. The focus of organisations involved in disarmament, including UN bodies, is on enhancing awareness among people, which is a general practice for various causes; yet, it is important for those organisations to engage the countries with the most weapons, whether it is the United States or Russia, whether one likes it or not. Yet again as mentioned in ‘My Thoughts’ earlier, why do humanitarians and humanitarian organisations need to continuously ask or request governments to end conflict or discard nuclear weapons? Government representatives meet people from fellow countries, shake hands, and gesture namaste or aadab. Governments have voted in favour of UN resolutions to prevent further tests and have made statements (although after a lot of effort by humanitarians and diplomats) on not using weapons of mass destruction and have supported their elimination. This is about not going back on the word and proceeding towards implementation.’ I don’t understand the logic of mixing this or, for that matter, any cause with books. I have been formally involved in the book publishing process since 2007 in one way or another. It’s not something that has appeared suddenly, and I have been reading books like many others since the kindergarten days. When it comes to promotion, human rights activists, diplomats, former government officials, public representatives, journalists, and many others have pinned posts regarding their next publication on Twitter or other platforms. I don’t question it, yet I have voluntarily refrained from doing so. | Forever | |

People from all walks of life are an inspiration. Yet this is an era where people are quick to make value judgements or there is a constant comparison. These days people don’t look for one goal. Once a goal is achieved, people plan for a higher set of goals. Once a dream is achieved, people plan for another set of dreams. One must always be conscious that success means different things to different people. People may or may not be in public life yet may be successful in various fields. Everyone has their own life path. However, despite varied challenges, my generation and the younger generation have more opportunities these days to achieve success or make a mark in various fields or in various ways. At the same time, we should not forget the elderly or previous generations who had achieved success in their respective professions or played an important role in a different and a more challenging era. My father was one such inspiration who achieved success after all odds after the loss of a parent at an young age. A stickler for rules yet compassionate and caring, he always encouraged his children to find their own path. It feels great when the young are successful in their respective fields. My sister is a university topper in her stream (IT). She and her spouse are successful professionals. My father was a caring husband and my mother was a constant support and pillar of strength to him. My mother is a constant source of inspiration and is my Telugu teacher (She cleared the entrance examination for Bhasha praveena course in Telugu conducted by Andhra University. Languages: Telugu, Hindi, and English). She is an avid reader.
