It was only around 1940 that one of the oil mill owners, CM Garudachar, started running a bus for the public between City Market and Guttahalli. The only mode of public conveyance that time was ‘jatka gadi’ driven by horse. I am now 95 years of age and my recollection of Bengaluru was a small town consisting of a few extensions like Chamarajpet, Shankapuram (few roads), Basavanagudi, NR Colony (two roads), Cottonpet, Balepet, City Market, Avenue Road, and Majestic area. The food that was served used to be bland - just baked vegetables without salt or spice, together with red rice and sugar.įrydman was a highly disciplined person and very strict in food habits when it came to himself and to all others. We were provided food from the factory mess. I was given accommodation in the premises of the GEF along with three others. I came to Bengaluru under the care of Frydman. This factory was started in the year 1933 during the regime of Sri Mirza Ismail who was the Diwan of Mysuru then. Maurice Frydman was the founder of the Government Electric Factory (GEF, now known as Kavika). Frydman was a Polish Engineer and a follower of Ramana Maharshi.įrydman used to frequently visit Ramana Ashram in Tiruvannamalai, where my father, T K Sundersa Iyer, who was also a staunch disciple of his, was a high school teacher. It was in 1935 when I was 15 years of age and studying in the middle of fourth form (presently referred to as eighth standard) that my father sent me to Bengaluru under the care of Maurice Frydman.
