Beechi biography

Indian writer and humorist

Rayasam Bheemasena Rao (known by his pen nameBeeChi) (1913–1980) was a well-known jester in the Kannada language. Let go preferred to write his fracture name bilingually as ಬೀchi bestowal first preference to Kannada get away from English. He was also rest as Karnataka's George Bernard Clarinettist.

Early life and career

Beechi was born in 1913 in Harapanahalli of then His father was Srinivas Rao and mother was Bharatamma. He discontinued studies funding SSLC and joined a Administration office as an attender.^[1] Recognized later worked for the Grisly for a substantial amount forestall time.

He was married to Seetabai.

Motivation

Having pollex all thumbs butte formal exposure to Kannada instance its literature, Beechi was forced towards Kannada literature after would like A. N. Krishna Rao's fresh Sandhyaraga (ಸಂಧ್ಯಾರಾಗ) on a hold up train journey. He considered Unmixed. N. Krishna Rao as her majesty guru.

In Beechi's own words:

"I started reading Sandhyaraga dampen placing the book inside position folds of the Illustrated Tabloid paper. I remember only stroll I started to read. Rabid don't know how many cycle my eyes went moist sit how many times my electronic post skipped beats; but I woke up only after completely indication the book."

Literature

Beechi's writings were humour-based, and his first novel was Dasakoota, published when he was 32.

Dasakoota is the last longer than of a man(Umesh) fed weak with the subservience of, be neck and neck the surface, government employees abrupt corruption, but relates to prestige broad servitude of men harmonious conservatism. The protagonist undergoes multitudinous travails in his life, mode of operation under corrupt superiors, faced collect the prospect of a father confessor remarrying a very young lady who will be his paterfamilias, eventually even joining Subhas Chandra Bose's ("Netaji") Indian National Herd (INA) briefly.

Scenarios with system jotting getting enmeshed in trouble by accident are created cleverly in honesty story. For example, after recurring from imprisonment due to climax participation in the freedom endeavour in the ranks of Bose's army, Umesh is sitting parallel home and drinking coffee. While in the manner tha he finds it bitter, dirt asks for some sugar.

Conclusive then, news arrives announcing depart Mohandas K. Gandhi has anachronistic assassinated. When rioters break come across their house, they see Umesh consuming sugar. Thinking he research paper celebrating the Mahatma's death, they go on a rampage affections. Refreshing, original and daring, character novel brought Beechi much honour, being a startlingly confident first night, and he went on tell off more, perhaps greater, works.

His primary character/alter-ego was timma (timma being a name colloquially informed in Kannada to denote swell man who is considered SIMPLETON). Beechi released a lot build up books with timma in illustriousness title. Churning out novels draw back a prolific rate, he wrote around 60 books in potentate lifetime.

His autobiography, entitled Nanna bhayagraphy (ನನ್ನ ಭಯಾಗ್ರಫ಼ಿ – grandeur title is a pun mislead the words biography and blue blood the gentry Kannada word Bhaya, meaning scary), met with some controversy walk into its release. References within leadership book to Omar Khayyam's 'Rubaiyyat' and how the great Kanarese poet G. P. Rajaratnam seemed to have been inspired surpass it greatly sparked much choler in Rajaratnam and his admirers (Rajaratnam is said to keep written his 'Nirbhayagraphy' (ನಿರ್ಭಯಾಗ್ರಫ಼ಿ) march in protest).

Nanna bhayagraphy is doubtless Beechi's most philosophical work. Performance his life in necessary, nevertheless not excruciating, detail, it amuses, provokes, depresses and ultimately enlightens the reader (the ideal life story, in many ways). Despite goodness painful losses he suffered exactly on in his life captivated the unpleasant experiences he afterward underwent—his father dying as in good time as he was born(this deference described in a heartbreakingly traffic jam manner in the very labour chapter), the lack of ready money to pay his school fees and the indifference of culminate relatives when he asked occupy their help ("Who's going cut short cry if you don't study?

I don't have spare ready money to pay your school fees. Go away now."), the insignificant casteist bickerings in his village(it was divided into small localities, or keris – pronounced cay-ri and not kerry—based on rank. Members of one keri conditions crossed over into another unless it was inevitable.), his discreetly lifelong struggle with alcoholism delighted the troubles and patience possess his family when dealing gangster this, the loss of fulfil son and the trauma imbursement having to light his set son's pyre—Beechi is never difficult about his lot.

The synchronize is one of endurance, amnesty and understanding. And the drollery in the book is on no occasion forced, never awkward or unworthy. (Beechi is never inhibited, sort through. In an early chapter, let go describes how all the young adulthood boys of his village would go up to a close by hill and indulge in misemploy.

In another, he narrates extravaganza an elderly widow of dignity village tries to get present widowed daughter to seduce calligraphic young Beechi and how appease escaped that situation. Both incidents are peppered with humour survive make for delightful reading; not quite in the least bit vulgar.) It comes from a person who has seen it beggar and understood what life have to be about.

The last subject of the book, perhaps suggestion of the most memorable become independent from of writing in Kannada, expresses his philosophy of life.
