KOLAR GOLD FIELDS
This is a place situated in the south east of Karnataka, in Kolar District,
this once upon a time a forest, and in the year 1880 A.D., there was a scope
for this place as there was a source of Gold and this was utlised by the Bristish
people, that a Man called as John Taylor, had research in this place and found,
that there was a gold and decided that this would have, a industries to take this gold out from the
under-ground and this then had further, development to have equipments and
other required things to start the mines. So the mines was started in the 1880
A.D. and the people who worked here were from the state of Tamil Nadu, and they
were hard working, and that too, from North and South Arcot, and this made the
people little relaxed for their income, still there are tamil people speaking
in majority in this place. And all other language people are also here, and
they are multi-language. And all are like brothers and also all the major religion are also here, and all the religious
festivals are also been, celebrated here And this would be joy in each and
every festival, and people are in a joyous mood during these festivals, namely,
All souls day,( Kalarai thirunall )Venketeshperumal Chariot (poo Theru). Mayana
Kollai, celebrated by the Eunuchs. This would bring all a good festival mood,
people used to share there food and other programmes, during all the religious
festivals, without having bar in languages or other systems. This place was
once called as Mini England, and all the places are having the names English
people. Here this place is been famous, because of the ancestors, and the
education were of English standards, so the teachers also dedicated there lives
for the sake of the common people and there education. They had given good
education and spent time for the future generation. And also this book also refers all the
teachers of this place that the land of Gold, who had dedicated there lives for
the sake of the local people. And hence I thank all the citizens of KGF who
given a hard labour, for this Golden land to stand firm, in midst of other
places, the students who have studied here have given a good reputation about
this place throughout the world. Still some have given their lives for this
land and the nation as well. For example
in the under-ground, many have lost their precious lives, when the mines was
first started, and then also. I respect and bow my head for their for sincere
dedication, towards the land and the
nation. I thank all the officials, dignitaries, teachers and the people of this
land. Hats Off

THE
JOY OF TEARS, GIVES BIRTH TO A STORY AFTER 44 YRS. BETWEEN A STUDENT AND A
TEACHER.
After my school education, I had been to a
diploma in X-ray training, because of my hard work,. And also Lab-Technician. I
had hard work and faced difficult situations and after some time I had a little
settlement in my life, but as the days passed I had been also completing, the
experience in Cinematography, in mean time I had completed RMP, and then slowly
practiced Diploma in Journalism, and after that I was also had an interest in
writing books, hence I had been author for 10 books, and I had been involved in
Acting, and other sections in Cinematography, directing, production, writing,
screen play. As I had involved in the social activities I had been awarded with
some of the Doctorates, and Honoree Doctorates, which numbered to 160 awards,
as I was in medical field, I had
conducted more than 78 free Medical camps,
and I was awarded as Plan Therapist. Not only this I had also
constructed a Bus Shelter, with a free reading room, in memory of my
Parents. And so I had an experience in
these fields, on my own. And as I had a desire to honor my school teachers,
both primary and High school, I had to work hard to get the information of them and
to have a profile of them and the
school I had studied and hence had a liking to honor them with a certificate. And hence I had collected
all the information about them and then been to their houses ,so I had an idea
of honoring with our Trust and Organizations such as UHRO( Unity Human Rights
Organization), KGF Cinema Association, Golden Valley Productions, MDPC
Creations, M.D. Pragasam Charitable Trust, M.D. Pragasam Chandra Group of
Institution and KGF X-Ray ECG lab Diagnostic.
So I had approached my Old teachers to Honor them with these Trusts and
Organizations. So, as they are aged I had been to their houses, I thought of
arranging a Function and do so, due to their health conditions, as they could
not travel due to their I had Personally, met them in their residence, as I met
them I had a never forgettable experience, through this documentary, As I had
been there they never forgot my name, they called by name and they felt happy,
with tears of joy they welcomed me and they shared a lot of time with me
talking about the school of the past and the experiences of the school life,
and the friends and students, and they blessed me also. They started to talk of
their family and shared all the moments they had with the students. They had
given me a treat, in every house, with a kiss and a bless. So, I was also impressed by their experience, they
even told that me going there was a joyful experience as, student meeting after
44 yrs leaving the school, is a new experience, and this made me very happy and
had a sympathy, and some even shed tears, and my eyes was also in tears and I
was convinced, some of them are not alive. When I had posted on the Face-book,
many had thanked me and also wished me more success, in working like this. So,
this experience meeting my old teachers gave me a good result. And also an
encouraging experience by many who still send me their E Mails. So, I thanked them when they made me to grow, I had
grown and after my growth I want to meet them, this I could not forget in my
life, which many would have not got, and hence this I thank all the teachers,
who very simple, co-operative, thankful and encouraged me a lot, with their
blessings.

have today is by them, they were the founders for my education and they were very caring and given special
interest towards us, My standard of writing around 10 books of my own is because
of them who had strong foundation in my education. I thank them a lot with my
whole heart and would never forget them, I have entered in cinema Industry, all
my other activities. If I had forgotten any of them I apologize , I honor all of them, I honor all
other teachers also, so education is very important in life, I respect them
also,if I receive their profile I am happy to give a mark of respect and
thanks, I give my e mail address,
kgfsureshbabu@ gmail .com, you can send
your full profile, I expect shortly I can make a documentary for all the
teachers of KGF, so the details are required, so the relatives of them also can
send he details, of those who were been teachers and I request all to respect
and praise the teachers. And to keep them in our hearts. As education is our
stepping for success also.
As I am very much thankful for all the comments,
received messages, wishes etc through calls etc.,
When I had been for the
Interview for honoring the teachers who had been during my education in my
childhood days, gave a pleasant moments
and memories, of the past which was discussed and was shared by the teachers, I
had a new experience, when I had there speech and tears of love, which had no
estimation of value, because it was a valuable which I had with, and when this
was posted many had encouraged me and thanked me, some of the medias, then the
press media had published about me, without my knowledge, I am thankful for
them, I thank all the old students who had also commented and also shared many
formations which I had never expected not only from the local, but also around
the world and I also thank them from my bottom of my Heart, some of the family
member of the teachers had also thanked me and also had encouragement words,
which had soothed me a lot., I thank them also, through messages and also in
direct. One of the experience was that when I had been there, I could never
forget their love, which they expressed
through their happy tears, they still remember some of the school instances
which they shared with me, this gave me a consoling moments, which made me to
cry also, I found that still there are teachers who had a love and compassion
on the students which many would never would have experienced, this had really
had an impact on my school days , in which some my school colleagues had shared
with me both in person and through messages and also calls, I thank them also
for their concern in this matter. The teachers like them would, never had
students like us also, this was said by them, so I honor them and respect them
still has this was a special experience of a student and a teacher, not
only them I respect all the teachers,
who would also have a impact on children. I am happy and thankful to one and
all who had shared and given good opinion about the teacher and student
interview, in their old age that too after retirement with their grand
children. They also shared a lot about their family, and the member also. So, I
once again thank one and all who had encouraged me in this experience of
honoring and respecting the old teachers.
So, I have concern
about the old also aged, as they had a desire of all students to meet them and
have a chat with them, as they are aged it was a great happiness and joy when I
met them, so I felt that during ageing
all have a like to meet and have a few words with them. So, taking care during
the old age is also a blessing, where many have lost it.
