READERS’ MAIL
Your
editorial induces me to read it time and again. When I heard that the magazine is facing financial crunch I
thought my contribution will help to some extent. This year also I convinced my friends and they came forward
happily when I asked them to become subscribers. All the English lecturers are getting an opportunity to enjoy
reading the magazine. Now-a-days
academic deadwood is seen everywhere.

Editor and the Triveni Foundation are grateful for your special effort in
promoting the cause of TRIVENI. Ed)
“It is indeed
an honour for a budding writer like me to be in the galaxy of eminent
writers. I am thankful to you for
having boosted my morale. Your article
“A Wreath for Teachers” has inspired, guided and awakened the teachers to the
responsibilities that lay before them.
As a teacher, I have learnt the fundamentals of motivating students to
newer levels of knowledge. I send my
best wishes for the grand success of the (Platinum Jubilee) function.”
-P. V. Laxmi Prasad, Karimnagar
“Your editorial ‘A Wreath for Teachers’ is a
timely reminder both for teachers and the society also. The perspective of education as a social
service and a means to give life and meaning to the textbook are worth
following suggestions. In modern times
the sense of dedication once seen among great teachers is lacking. Yet, as you said, ‘Good teachers have become
obsolete but not yet extinct’. The
changing trends of commercialised educational system, political interference
and additional burdens are no mean causes for the present state of
affairs. Indiscriminate admission of
students and unwieldy strength of classes pose a serious threat to the
maintenance of discipline and standards. – RK Singh’s essay on ‘ New Indian
English writing’ aptly shows the continuing colonial burden in the post
colonial era. Only diasporic writers
are considered Indian writers and no attention is paid to native Indian
writers. Also, the question of status
and qualifications gives a false aura to the foreign based Indian English
writers. Dr. Ravikumar’s story ‘The
Cycle’ is a realistic portrait of bureaucratic apathy and callousness even in
academic institutions. I appreciate the
variety and social relevance in the articles”

“Bangalore
has plenty of rains this year. The
weather is cool, the sky is cloudy, sunshine is rare. Don’t know how long this rains interlude lasts… Water wars are
on. Whither India? The linking of rivers will bring in new
dimension and the remedy may be worse than the disease…There is no end in sight
to our problems. Good men are hedged by
bad forces. Hope lies in God’s grace!
-Dr. R. R. Menon, Bangalore
“Congratulations
on the excellent production (of the Platinum Jubilee Special Number) which will
remain a collector’s item! Catering to
the needs of the scholars and general readers, the journal exemplifies both the
diversity and unity of modern India.
The TRIPLE STREAM is all embracing, eventually signifying the symbolic
merger with the infinite ocean of life.
TRIVENI is indeed surging ahead towards centenary.”
-Prof. D. Ramakrishna, Warangal
“Hearty
congratulations to you and the TRIVENI FOUNDATION on the exhilarating
celebration of the Platinum Jubilee.”
-Abdul Rashid Bijapure, Dhule
(Maharashtra)
“This
particular issue (the Platinum Jubilee Special Number) excels in every respect
i.e., starting from TRIPLE STREAM down to the last page. The glimpses of the Platinum Jubilee
celebrations (printed in black & white) would have been more gorgeous if
they were printed in colour. The
translation work of Smt. Satyasree is excellent and upto the mark. The inaugural address of Justice K.
Jayachandra Reddy, is all the while arresting, thought provoking and thoroughly
judicious in content. I am moved by
the scholarly wisdom of Dr. S. Rukmini with regard to her article on ‘Sri
Aurobindo and Poetry’. It is highly
critical, clearly interpreted and philosophical at its best.”
- P. V. Laxmi Prasad, Karimnagar
I must place
Ramakotiswara Rao (Kolavennu) as the first among Andhra Journalists whom I know
not because he “discovered” me and gave me the first chance in literary
journalism and then in political journalism but because he was an excellent
editor not only in maintaining the high class journal TRIVENI at great cost but
in editing it with great care and punctiliousness which I did not see anywhere
else.
He insisted
on standards in accepting articles but he also showed courage in rejecting
them, apart from rejecting advertisements.

Platinum Jubilee Special Number of ‘Triveni’ is a wonderful combination of
prose, poetry and literary critique. I
enjoyed the articles by Dr. D. Samarender Reddy and Prof. N.G. Ranga.
Poem by
D.V.Sahani is superb. I congratulate the poet.
I also liked the poems by K.M. Kale, G. Somaseshu and Abdul Rashid
Bijapure.

Iam glad that you are devoting
time and energy to render true
service to fellow humans through
the TRIVENI journal with established
reputation for disseminating cultural
and spritual values integrated with ethical
code of conduct in life

We regret to
announce the demise of Mr. Justice Nittoor Srinivasa Rau, (of the Mysore
High Court) Bangalore, a centenarian.
He had been a member of the Advisory Council of the TRIVENI till he
passed away. When the late Sri Kolavennu Ramakotiswara Rau, the
founder-editor was in jail, he took initiative in celebrating the Silver
Jubilee of the Triveni along with the late Sampatgiri Rao, Late Sri Masti and
other friends. He sent his article to
the Souvenir of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations recently.
May his soul rest in peace!!!
