A.V. Nagaraju

I am a retired (VRS) Bank Officer. I have a flair for writing in Kannada as well as English. Recently, I along with the help of my family members released a book on Family Tree of our family, commencing from 1700 AD. The book was acclaimed by many well known historians and writers like Prof. Suryanatha Kamath, Horeyala Doreswamy and Babu Krishnamurthy. Late Mathighatta Krishnamurthy who has given foreword to the book has called it as a unique contribution to Kannada literary world. Another achievement is renovation of a 1200 year old Udbhava Kalleshwara Temple at Belavadi, Chikkamagalur Dist, Karnataka and that too was appreciated many luminaries like Sri Gowrishankar, Administrator, Shringeri Sharada and the like. I am working presently on the Editorial Board of GEJJEHEJJE Monthly Theatre Magazine. I also undertake translation of legal, technical and literary works from Kannada to English and vice-versa.
