Eswara received a “CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION” from Madras Coin Society for exhibiting Miniature Book on Mahatma Gandhi, during the Society’s “Spirit of Gandhi” exposition conducted from 30-01-2003 to 02-02-2003 by V Kalyanam (Former Personal Secretary to Mahatma Gandhi) and Mr. D.H.Rao (President of Madras Coin Society)
In the past he had also exhibited the Miniature Books of Mahatma Gandhi & Thirukurral at Salarjung Museum in Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
In interview with this superstar iReporter/CNN (shripada bhat), Eswara says: “I have been recognised and secured place in Limca Book of Records 2002, 2003, 2004 (INDIA) for 3 years for these Smallest Screen Printed books”
“I got greatly inspired after seeing the documentary on father of printing.... and I wanted to be in screen printing for ever but intended to produce unique work. Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (c. 1398 – February 3, 1468) was a German goldsmith, printer and publisher who introduced modern book printing.
He was inspired to produce book on Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler because both were leaders of their time but Gandhi was known for his peaceful leadership where as Hitler was known for his leadership with aggressive traits.
What are the Challenges?
“It is a big challenge to make a tiny achievement. Layout those tiny pages and fitting the text systematically in 2 fonts is most difficult and next comes the cutting the visiting card size paper on which I print the text through screen printing process using 120 threat mesh. Then book is bound and glued in a normal procedure. But I do it single handed which takes long time including some sleepless nights since I have to run my regular screen printing business to make a living as a businessman.”
Tell us something more about your family:
“My parents encourage (My father: K Poorna Chander Rao) me a lot. They never said I am wasting my time. We hail from Tenali, a historical town in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, South India. (The place is known after Tenali Rama a court-poet of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 16th century.) But we settled in Chennai in Tamil Nadu state since my childhood. I could not do higher education due to personal reasons and and got into screen printing as a business in 1992 after working for 2 years in a printing unit in Chennai. My parents say with me. But I am not fully supporting my better half Jyothi to complete her MBA since I could not go for higher education.”
“Apart from routine commercial screen printing and miniature book printing, I also collect old antiques which are very rare to find out now; I also have few collections with me like cameras, telescopes, palm scripts, very old books. I also collect old coins and currency notes of various countries including India. I am also fond of philately which is study of postal stamps and other related items.”
“It is my passion. Screen printing is a process which can be done by hand (although automatic machines are available).” So he wanted to spend some time in high level of creativity. His set his big eyes on Guinness Book of World Records by improving his works further and beat the world recorder in his area of creativity.
WHAT NEXT?
“I am already working on my next project. This would be a set of 12 Miniature books of 12 great personalities from different walks of life. The size of these would be so small that I intended to fit them in normal match box sized shelf,” reveals Eswara by giving the list of books to be screen printed in the days to come.
From photographer's notes - "Yesterday Bob and I did our routine photo shoot on the Gold Line Foothill Extension. We were really amazed at the rapid progress on how they are wrapping up this project. We seemed to see crews working all along the line. It is hard to tell not knowing all the details but we both think the Gold Line has pulled ahead of the Expo Line. So maybe there will not be a Photo Finish at Santa Anita after all. From what I can gather the Gold Line will open for service about a month before the Expo Line. That makes sense because it will only require 15 more Units to do so. Expo will require aprox. 25 or more units. Throw in a few for spares. The Kinkisharyo cars are supposed to start arriving in June of 2015 at the rate of 4 a month. So the Gold Line should have enough cars by the end of December. The opening date is obviously flexible because it has to be. Start up maybe early in 2016.
We both felt had the new cars been ordered when they were originally planning to be, there would be enough cars for a 2015 startup on both rail extensions. Maybe they should name a couple of stations after the two Board Members that held up the new car order. lol
ARCADIA
We were very impressed with the new Arcadia Station that was recently dedicated. It was nice that it opened before the Service starts because people are using the benches to sit and read. The landscaping is beautiful. After a few years the trees will provide shade from the hot sun. They are just finishing up surfacing the rail East of 1st St. The rail is all in and complete the full length of this project, The clock tower at the Station is very impressive.
The new bridge at Huntington Dr.has been painted and finished. It is interesting how the new bridge sits just West of the old Bridge. Part of the steel beam of the old bridge made up a side of the new bridge. Notice the old bridge used many rivets and the new one is all welded. You can see how the decking differs between the two bridges on the picture showing underneath. All bridges on this project are completed.
MONROVIA
At Mayflower Ave. we stopped at the crossing. They were working on the crossing gates. The steel Overhead Support poles are all up to Mayflower Ave. There is a gap between Mayflower and 1st St. in Arcadia. Setting up those last poles can go quickly."

My niece has taken up synchronised swimming this year and gave us a demonstration, working through several routines and showing a wide variety of moves.
Yes, it's overdone. The "bath" routine. But it's really the only part of our day I'd call "routine." Which is either good, or bad. Depending on how you look at it. And for this, I looked at it from up above...
My gaze was drawn across the river by the vivid colour of this bather's underpants. I also love the romance of using a river as more than a place to wash away heat--a place to play (as I myself have used them, except for once in the Eldorado hills which I won't ever forget). To use it as a place to wash; Some thing more essential. And those gorgeous giant trees to look over you as you close your eyes and receive the water in good faith so it might water take you and leave you in a different state (how refreshing it is to be clean again when before you were properly dirty). Such a bath!
My daily routine inlcudes keeping up with and cleaning up after my two little boys, mainly my two year old!! Love them! We shall see what ends up in the toilet this week :)
