He was born to Padigaru Laxminarayanacharya (father) and Seetamma (mother).

1932

P.V. Acharya started his career as a primary school teacher in 1932 and quit the job in 1933.

He joined Tulunadu Press as an accountant.

1942

He worked as an accountant at several places after that until finally joining Samyukta Karnataka Press as a supervisor for the jobs division in 1942.

Luck came his way when H.R. Purohit, the then editor-in-chief of Karmaveera, a popular Kannada weekly magazine of that time had to take a 6 week-long vacation for personal reasons.

P.V. Acharya was asked to fill in for H.R. Purohit.

1947

From 1947 onward he worked for Karmaveera full-time and penned several satirical and gabby articles (ಹರಟೆ) under the pen name of Langulacharya.

His articles gained instant popularity with the mass and they are regarded as being instrumental in increasing the magazine's circulation.

His major contributions to Kannada literature and journalism were through the Kannada monthly digest called “Kasturi”, which he modelled after the popular English digest – “Reader’s Digest”.

1956

He graced the position of founder-editor for the magazine from 1956 to 1975.

During his tenure at Kasturi, the magazine saw success in Kannada publications.

Post-retirement from Kasturi as editor, he continued to contribute to the magazine via a unique section called “Padartha Chintamani”, which explored the origins, contextual meanings, and historical references of words.

Later, a collection of these articles was published as two-volume book series.

1992

Padigaru Venkataramana Acharya (ಪಾಡಿಗಾರು ವೆಂಕಟರಮಣ ಆಚಾರ್ಯ), also known by his pen name Langulacharya, was a Kannada and Tulu scribe, journalist, writer and poet who received the B.D. Goenka award for journalism in 1992.

Impressed with his results, his school's principal offered him to get admission into Mangalore's St. Aloysius College with a full scholarship.

However, Acharya could not accept the scholarship as it would have been impossible for him to manage other living expenses while studying in the more expensive city of Mangalore.

He also had the responsibility of taking care of his family.

He focused on his career instead.
