Bhanumathi had aerophobia and she hardly boarded any flight in her life. This sounds to be a wonder but she always preferred train journey. Once she was asked to come to USA where her son Bharani was staying. She got the tickets booked and the D Day had come. She started from her home early in the morning to Airport. But as soon as she reached the Air port fear struck her and she asked the driver to return back to home. She came back and sat at home not bothering anything about ticket and all.
When DV Narasa Raju enquired her about the fear, she said, "If I die in train journey at least there will be body to see, if plane crashes there won't be any sign of body at all. I don't get into those bloody flights at all".
That was the biggest small thing in Bhanumathi's life mentioned by DV Narasa Raju in his writings.
