Sir,
It was fascinating to go through Gouri Satya’s write-up in SOM dated Dec. 20 on ‘De Havilland Arch, an Engineering Marvel’ in continuation of Dr. Javeed Nayeem’s article. Of course, needless to say both of them have been a source of great information to old-time SOM readers like me.
In the article there is a reference to the stairway to Chamundi Hill from Uttanahalli side. This stirred my curiosity on Chamundi Hill Road as the stretch leading to Uttanahalli is named after my maternal grandfather H.R. Venkatasubba Rao (see picture above).
I know practically nothing about him except what my father mentioned about him. He died around the time I was born in January 1932.
