BK Gururaja Rao and I were classmates during our study for BE in Mech. ENGG at the University College of Engineering, Bangalore under the University of Mysore between 1954 and 1958. We were quite close friends. He used to stay in Madhva Sangha hostel in Chamarajapet and I was staying (even now I do) in Basavanagudi. I used to meet him in his hostel quite often.
