My passion is science; since 1994 I am after it.

 Science is Natural Truth about the Universe. Mathematics is the language of Science. It all started from astronomy, the observation of moving objects in the open space during nights.Tykobrahe did this observation regularly for a period of two years and constructed many maps of the stars. It was known that only a few objects were changing their locations with respect to the other objects. These were known as planets. This data was used by Kepler to construct formulas relating to planetary motion.

My Education:

I took minimum marks in science in my 7^th board exam.my score was 43% only, where as I could score 90% in maths paper. I used to spend most of my time in making maths notes. Mr. Gurubasappa was my maths teacher. He explained maths in very excellent way. He was ideal teacher. Both my parents were illiterate as did the others in those days.

There was only on NTMS primary school in the locality of about a dozen villages. Very few students would attend to this school from neighboring villages. I joined this school in 1961 as a third standard boy. I was regular to my classes. Some times when food was not ready in the morning, I would go to without eating any thing. By the time I was 6^th standard boy, mid day meal was arranged for students from other villages. The local student would go to their homes for mid day meals relief.

When my primary school education was over, I joined to 8^th standard, as a new TDB High School was just started the previous year. It was second batch when I joined to this new school. There was no building and they used a temple premises to start with. The temple called ‘Maharudrappa temple’ had vast ares surrounded by many mango trees. It was in a remote place away from village, like a natural Ashram.

Here in this school, I completed my high school education.My head master was from Tumkur district. Maths teacher was from Belagavi district. Social teacher was from Kamalapur area. I got first class grade in my high school final board exam. My science teacher, guided me to continue my education as science student. And I did so.

I took Mathematics a major subject and Physics as a minor subject for my degree.but I got a second class merit about 57% in my degree. I was selected in Telecommunications department on my SSLC merit as Telephone Operator in 1974.

My maths and physics combination helped me to write my competitive examinations to get my promotions in the department up Junior engineer’s grade in due course of time. For last ten years of my service, I was Sub Divisional Engineer Telecommunications. I worked as SDE Phones Bidar from 1999 to 2008. Bidar is the place where I completed my collage education.

After retirement, I had opted for free teaching activity.

I teach high school students, the subjects like Maths, Science and English.
