For Spurthy\u2019s dad and mum, Mr Narasimhamurthy and Usha who made the choice of the role they want to play in their children\u2019s lives, have not only helped shape the lives of their children, but also helped their children find the passion and dedication in the things they set their futures on regardless of what obstacles may come.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cI was fortunate to be able to focus on the research work at my university as my wife made the difficult decision to let her teaching career take a backseat to care for the children full time. And that helps tremendously. Because when it comes to the day-to-day business at home, including homework, my wife has been giving our children full undivided attention,\u201d said Mr Narasimhamurthy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although Usha takes the lead at home, Mr Narasimhamurthyis the one whom Spurthy looks up to most, seeing him as their role model in their future career. His teaching philosophy and work have had an indomitable influence on the children\u2019s lives.<\/p>

Working as a Professor at Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur, Karnataka specialising in Microelectronics for more than 30 years, Mr Narasimhamurthy father would occasionally bring his electronics project home to continue tinkering with them. When Spurthy first laid her eyes on them, she had developed a strong curiosity for these quirky-looking devices.<\/p>

\u201cWhen they were young, Spurthy and her sister would crowd around me whenever I came home with something new,\u201d Mr Narasimhamurthy father reminisced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Living by his teaching philosophy of focusing on teaching the fundamentals, Mr Narasimhamurthy father would spend lengthy amounts of time explaining to his children how such devices work, which sowed the seeds of love for electronics in her precocious years.\u00a0<\/p>

Even at 16, when most teenagers are undecided about what they want to pursue in life, Spurthy was clear about what she wanted to pursue, and her parents gave her full support and autonomy for that.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe gave her a free rein to decide what she would like to pursue in university. They could choose to dive into Commerce, Science, or humanities. Even then, she was resolute in pursuing Electronics,\u201d Usha said.\u00a0<\/p>

Unlike most of her friends in India who chose to pursue their master\u2019s degree in the USA, Spurthy did not waver in her decision.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cShe was also offered an opportunity to pursue Computer Science overseas, but she was certain about her decision to pursue her Master of Science in Integrated Circuit Design in Singapore,\u201d said Mr Narasimhamurthy father.<\/p>

It certainly was not easy for Spurthy, who had never left her family for more than a few days.<\/p>

\u201cWe would always travel as a group, even on weekends,\u201d said Usha mother. And Spurthy misses those times. Not wanting to miss a day without hearing about her family, she would almost always call home every day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
