Gandhiclassu... A must read.

Last month I read autobigraphy of kannada writer Kumvi's "Gandhiclassu", thought of writing about this autobiography last month itself but my laziness didnt allowed to post new blog. So now writing about this gud autobiography.
The guys who studied kannada as language in thier PUC ( plus 12) doesnt forget the chapter "Devara Hena" worte by Kumbar Veerabhadrappa ( Kumvi is his pen name) because that chapter is full of fun and illustaration of scarcity of food.Story happens a village backdrop. The story deals about an ox which is died in the house of village head and the attempts by Tonni ( a poor dalit) who attempts to get the body of dead ox to eat.
I know only kumvi's by his Devara Hena (God's corpse) and after joining BE , I became a bookworm started reading plenty of books ( almost i haev read few hundreds). One day after sternous work I felt like raeding some gud books, went to Sapna bookhouse, mysore. While hoping from shelfs to shelfs the coverpage of this book catched my eyesight. Took this book and read the epilogue written on the back side of the book by Mr. Ramachandra roa. After readinng the epilogue I thought of buying the book as it was 225 rs.
Started reading this autobiography as soon as I reached home , as most of the autobiographies this also started with the childhood days of the author. This book haunted me like a fever for few days because of its content and narration style. In this novel we will meet funny characters and also factionists of Andrapradesh.
Kuvmi gets job as kannada teacher for primary school in Andrapradesh and simply he goes Vandavagili village in Andra to get his bread and butter. His lifestory becomes colorfull (for readers) from his entry as teacher to vagili village. This village is a remote village in the border of Andra and Karnataka where basic aminities are too far. Teh home he gets for rent in this village is a palace of scorpios, Kumvi lives with them and starts mantoring the students.When he tries lure dalits students to his schools get threats from the upper castes but he doesnt gives up and educates plety of students.
The author witneeses many faction murders, meets factionists when he gets transferred to Gulyam village in Andra. Escapes from the bomb blasts which happens when he is on election duty in one of the village in Andra. On the way to Mantralayam from Bellary theer is village by name Agri, which is infamous by its brutal murderers, when I was kid the police use to escort the vehicle with loaded guns through this village. The villages in whihc the author has worked as a teacher are also comes in the same region. Atleast one person from ecah family was convicted by court. ( The people were ready to kill a person just for few hundred bucks, the continous famine, drought and need of money made them to do these).
"Kotreshi kannasu" film which got national award and "Mana mecdhida hudgi" are based on the story written by kumvi. He wirtes about the cheating of the film industry people. Kumvi writes a 600 pages novel "Shamanna" afetr getting advance mnoney from the publisher within one month. I was stunned by his confidence by which he creates Shamanna. The second half of the autobiography makesthe reader to feel that they are reading script of RGV's Rakthcharithra.
This book is a must read because it gives a some relief to the minds and soul of the people who feels that they have big problems and after reading this autobiography one will get a new perception about life and fistfull of confidence to lead the life.
Kudos to Kumvi who worte candid account of his lifestory.
