That was back in the year 1948 when the nation as a whole was still basking in its newfound glory of freedom. He was 28 years old, he dared to dream, and his dream dared to become a reality and a spectacular success. Thus, the saga that began in the busy and crowded lanes of Kurnool went on to become a sort of rags to riches
