Please help me find this book!

Recently when I was travelling to my home town, I came accross this interesting lady who was fully merged in reading her Novel. She looked so charming in a well starched cotton saree and with a big bindi which highlighted her forehead she looked amazing and gave a impact of someone with high morale and good personality from within too.

For the person Iam i sat besides her and put on the music and was humming at the lowest tone I could, taking every care that she wouldnt get annoyed or disturbed by this young brat! When I was done with some music I grabbed a magazine and started to read telugu and it was broken and took hours to decipher the lingo.

Iam shameful to say that being a telugu girl Iam unable to read with the ease I do other languages coz I was brought up outside AP. Dads every effort of teaching me learn was in vein, but i can manage to read and I have been doing lot of reading in telugu so that I can master it soon as it seems to be very close to Kannnada and the Lipi is not much differed.

I guess this charming lady sensed my difficulty and asked me if I was trying to imitate her! I was taken back and said no aunty Iam trying to learn or read this column, she said the best way to learn things is when u learn it from your heart rather than by compulsion. Well this was a thing that dad always said. Iam brilliant in conveying telugu thru english. But cannot type in the same Lingo.

She offered me to meet her once at her home in Bangalore and she would give me some book to read and it would not make me a master in the language but it would sure grade me up from the kindergarten learner and she said its called Pedha bala shiksha! and when i asked dad about that he said it was the book which in olden days they used to learn anything and everything and it teaches you from the basics till the grade 10 requirements.

Thats amazing and I wonder if I could get one here at Bangalore and wanna see how it looks like and if any one knows where would we find this book or any publisher who sells this online do let me know coz my craving for this book has surpassed my patience level.
