Some of the memories are refreshing. Some of them are torch bearers. Some of them are haunting. One such in the memory of senior character artist Honnavalli Krishna has come to the notice of this correspondent.

Look at what Honnavalli Krishna says on his one of the several memories with Dr Rajakumar. According to him Dr Rajakumar had the vision of his demise.

It was on March 25, 2006 evening – 18 days prior to his demise – Dr Rajakumar standing outside his house in Sadashivanagar inquired Honnavalli Krishna – How many cars in the house. Krishna replied counting that there are about 11.

Later Dr Rajakumar holding the hand of Honnavalli Krishna a long time inmate of the house said ‘God has given good life, family, children, grand children, money, comforts….Dr Raj stopped for a few seconds. Honnavalli Krishna was waiting what is next from Dr Rajakumar. To the shock of Honnavalli Krishna Dr Rajakumar said ‘The same god who has given everything is telling me to come back’. Honnavalli Krishna was flabbergasted with such an announcement from Dr Rajakumar.

That is why I said Dr Rajakumar with power of Yoga conquered so many things that others cannot go near to it said Krishna.

Honnavalli Krishna actor of hundreds of films in Kannada remembered this episode at the ‘Neralu’ press briefing at Kengeri House.
