Early Life
Subramanya grew up in a joint family in Malleswaram. His father was a civil engineer who built a lot of houses in Bangalore. His uncle was the chief engineer when the KRS Dam was built. They had a house with a huge compound where all the cousins could play cricket. Two of Subramanya's brothers, V. Ramdas and V. Krishnaprasad also played for Mysore.
Subramanya studied at the Malleswaram High School and later Basappa Intermediate College before graduating from Central College. He turned out for Malleswaram Gymkhana. Unlike other cities at that time, Bombay and Madras, Bangalore did not have a major tournament. The only exposure that the youngsters got was from radio. Subramanya learnt cricket by listening to commentary and imbibing some lessons.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“What is there in life except one’s ideas,
Good air, good friend, what is there in life?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
