About Masti Venkatesha Iyengar
Maasthi Venkatesa Iyengar (June 6, 1891 – June 6, 1986), popularly known as Masti, was an administrator, professor and a popular writer in Kannada language. He obtained a master's degree in English literature (Arts) in 1914 from Madras University. Initially he worked for 26 years in the Mysore Civil Service. He later resigned in protest as he was not made a minister but his junior was made one. Right from an young age he wrote both in English and in Kannada; more than 123 books in Kannada and 17 in English. His literary works covered novels, poetry, drama, criticism, journalism and largely short stories. His first work was Rangana Maduve (meaning marriage of Ranga) in 1910 and the last work was Maatugara Ramanna (meaning talkative Ramanna) (1985) both in Kannada. For his contribution to Kannada literature he was given the epithet Maasti Kannadada Aasti meaning “Maasti is Kannada's Treasure”. The Maharaja of Mysore Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadeyar honoured him with the title Rajasevasakta. He won the prestigious Jnanpith Award, the highest honour for literature in India, in 1983 for his novel Chikkavira Rajendra a story on the last Raja of Kodagu.

Additional quotes by Masti Venkatesha Iyengar
Ramu is our youngest child. He does not know how to write. The only thing he knows is to scribble on the slate. When the slate is covered with lines, he asks me to look at what he has written. Writing for him is nothing but scribbling. If, with some luck, one of the lines turns out to be letter, it’s not his fault. [[w:Brahma}Brahma]]’s writing is no different. Unpredictability is its characteristic. Not even one ina thousand is good. If one turns out to be good it’s not my fault. My wife was convinced that all this was Vedanta. She did not pay any attention to it.
