My father B. Nageswara Rao

Father's life has been fraught with vicissitudes and some outstanding achievements in his chosen profession of Journalism. Here are a few things that ought to be written about.
1. Father spent the greater part of his life in events that touched the lives of a great many people, while pursuing his passion to write
2. He did his work with complete devotion, honesty and hard work, driven as he was with passion and a deep sense of responsibility to the public as well as his profession.
3. He was revered not only by the family members, but also by people both in and outside his profession.
4. As a recognition of the excellence in his work and the outstanding contribution he made to his profession, an award had been instituted posthumously in his name and aptly called the Best Journalist award.
5. There is also a personal element in the whole exercise. I wanted to bring out the man and his work to a personal scrutiny and also bring him closer to my idea of him who had largely been to me a distant and feared authority.
