Memoirs of
Manja
Here is a new series for the visitors of OurKarnataka.Com
(OKC). Here is a person from Mysore, who was unfortunate enough
to get into the activities of the underworld, suffer from
it and still fortunate enough to come out of it. As per his
request, we have re-christened him to keep him out of trouble!
Just to let you know, he has now gotten his bachelor and masters
degree from the Open University. He is also getting trained
as a web developer. He is determined to make something for
himself. Our aim here is not to glorify his past deeds, but
to tell you from his perspective. This is not fiction or a
movie; this is the bare truth. Something for you to ponder
about.
