Dear Lady
Venkatasubba Rao,
What a great delight it was
to me yesterday to read your name in the list of awards under PADMABHUSHAN! Immediately, I
telephoned to you, and my happiness became all the greater when your beloved husband and
my valued elder and friend, Sir M. Venkatasubba Rao took up the receiver himself in his
old age and talked to me, received my congratulations and congratulated me, in turn, on
the award given to me and expressed satisfaction particularly in the thought that you are
lucky in being bracketed with my name in the same year. Well, your life has been one of
continuous Seva. Long may this spirit of service continue and may your example take root
in the soil and bring in hundreds of social workers for a good cause is my sincerest
prayer.
I am most beholden to you
for the Bhajan Ghosti that you have been arranging so many times out of sheer love and
affection for me in my bungalow. I am looking forward to meet you at your convenience.
With kindest regards to
yourself and Judge, Sir Venkarasubba Rao,
