Navilininda Garudanedege Kallanagouda Patil

Due to inevitable situations, Kallanagouda Patil had to financially assist his family at a young age, and hence, opted to work as a primary school teacher. He completed his under graduation in an open university, wrote competitive exams and finally became a Panchayat Development Officer. At the back of his mind, he always yearned to complete his education at the university. This dream came true when he got an opportunity to obtain his graduation at the Karnataka State Rural Development and Panchayat Raj University, Gadag. He was selected for the Master of Public Health Program. He realized another dream while pursuing his graduation, i.e., presenting his research as a scientific poster abroad.

As a part of that, he attended an international conference on public health sciences, which was held in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 2, 2019. The Thailand tour was planned along with his friend Kamble. The flight for Bangkok was from Bombay, so the journey started towards Bombay, and the experience of a metro city beside the Arabian Sea was the first experience as a traveler. Geographical and social descriptions in the book about Thailand ended while the plane landed at Suvarnabhoomi Airport, Bangkok.

His struggle in pursuing his studies and experiences of visiting Thailand has been presented in a simple and conveying manner in this travelogue Navilininda Garudanedege - A Journey from Peacock to Eagle.
