A
visionary, Sri B. Nagi Reddi lead ninety-two eventful years of his life marked
by fascinating series of amazing as well as engrossing events read like the
fairytales in the children's magazine 'Chandamama, the unique gift to the
children of a few generations by himself and his compatriot Chakrapani. Born
and raised in a remote village in Andhra Pradesh, the elders there taught him
traditional values. Even as a teenager he had participated in the independence
movement and at 20 he had succeeded in business at a far away Rangoon. The help
he had provided to a poor family there is a testament to his concern and
commitment to the social causes. The magazines he had founded and managed along
with one of India's finest printing presses, the incredible films he had
produced, the largest film studio in South East Asia he had founded and the
first multi-speciality hospital in South India he had established are by now
legendary. Bestowed with awards and accolades in each and every field he had
ventured into, Sri Nagi Reddi never owned his success, instead he credited it
to his unit members. A true karma yogi. This book is an authentic, riveting
