         <description><![CDATA[<p> Krishtakka was a very dedicated and enthusiastic person. According to her childhood, she didn't have the privilege for education and because of that very reason, she was unable to read and write. But after she understood the importance of education and literacy, she made a commitment to learn how to read and write. The granddaughter of Krishtakka understood her pain to learn how to read and write. So she taught her grandmother to read and write and the main reason for her to learn all the alphabets in a short period of time was her commitment and respect towards the imprtance of education. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"How I taught my grandmother to read" is a story written by Sudha Murthy . The grandmother thought of herself to be similiar to the protoganist in the novel "kashi yatre" by Triveni and was in great grief when she couldn't read the weekly episode of "kashi yatre" . She felt helpless and asked her granddaughter who usually read the "kashi yatre" for her to teach her kannada alphabets . After getting her granddaughter to agree  that she will teach her how to read kannada alphabets  she set saraswati pooja on dasshera as her deadline . Through great dedication and hardwork , she was able to accomplish her goal and as the story ends the grandaughter gifts her grandmother  "kashi yatre" novel and her grandmother readsnthe novel's name , author and the publisher's name , the story ends at the granddaughter's acknowledgement that her first student had passed with flying colours. This is a very inspirational story .</p>]]></description>
