THE CASE OF THE DEFIANT SON

My mother was chief motivator for her children, unlike my father.
Subbiah (SVSR)should become an engineer.
Narasimha should become a doctor(must practice on Poonamalli high road , Chennai, like other great doctors)
"what about me "I chip in. "You should become veterinary doctor or agriculture demonstrator and look after our lands and animals."( prophetical !!!)
SVSR joined B.E(5 years course ,those days) in Tirupati ,Kotha Veedhi .
He is the son of fierse SRM and loving Kuppakka.
So he is the virtual prince, with scores of doting pinnis and mamas attending over him.
Indiratha who was new bahu at that time,used to push food into his mouth and wipe his lips with her pamita.
After about a week or fortnight of study SVSR came to Kavali one weekend,told my mother that he dosnt want to pursue B.E.
SHOCK AND DISBELIEF !
WHY?
"because I want to read literature"(the ting is in every Singampalli)
There was a big meeting after SRM came home from court.
The persuasion went on for hours but SVSR was adamant.
SRM asked him angrily"then why did you join , if you do not like "
"Nuvvega bodi lectures ichi cheripinchindi"(unthinkable to talk to him like that)
SRM the Durvasa he is ,got wild and slapped hard.
SVSR just ran into the house put his shirt on and ran away.
My mother was wailing, asking him to come back.
SVSR always had friends who "give their life" for him.
They ran after him and he was sitting in fields asking them to go away.
long persuasion by his friends made him come back home.
In the morning my mother asked young GDR who was doing apprentice under my father to council SVSR
He was an RSS man got nice manners and great persuasive capacities.
He took SVSR to our garden, talked with him for so many hours.
In the end SVSR agreed to continue his B.E. and rest is history.
