“It
is instructive and interesting to read the article “IQ Variations among the
developed and developing countries” written by Dr. S.R. Valluri. He has given research-based information
which is useful”.
-Niranjan Das, Bhubaneswar
“The
bunch of idiosyncrasies of the great writers in your editorial is highly
amusing. More such please. Sri Vemaraju’s poem (translated) “Tears”
depicting the sad incompatibility of the spouses is truly pathetic inducing
eternal tears reflecting the plight of the 12 year old girl’s marriage with a
man having aged two aged sons by his first.
It has the overtones of the famous Telugu poet Gurazada’s caricature
“Puttadibomma Purnamma”. The girl is
equal to gold, Purnamma is given in marriage to an old sex beast… And coming to the travelogue on “FALAKNUMA
EXPRESS” Sri Ranga Rao imparts subtle humour usual to be found in trains all
over the land. Every sentence outbursts
at the seams with a funny description.
Without any exaggeration, let me state, he is our own R.K. Narayan… Dara Shikoh’s terminality brings repulsion
finding cruelty of a Moghul emperor… You have given us the readers an amalgam
of all the ‘rasas’ making the mag
enjoyable! Congratulations”.
-Dr. R. Janardana Rao, Machilipatnam
“The
thought provoking articles “Remembering Gandhi” (July-Sep.2000) by Dr. Sarojini
Regani, reminded me of the words of Albert Einstein, when Gandhi was stuck down
by an assassin’s bullet on January 30, 1948 that “Generations to come will
scarce believe that such a man as this ever walked this earth in flesh and
blood.” It shows that Gandhi was a
spirit fighting against matter, non-violent fighting against violence, truth
fighting against falsehood. By setting
an example of courageousness in the face of arrogance of power, he emancipated
his co-patriots from the fear of the white man. It was in that period that he started his experiments with truth,
which were to occupy him for the rest of his life. One would find that he not only gave freedom to his country, but
brought about a great moral regeneration over his countrymen. His life work was not only unfinished but
undone, and men like him are born once in an age”.
-Vinod C Dixit, Ahmedabad.
“I
felt very much delighted to read your editorial which throws light on habits
and ways of great writers. The essay
“Sermons in Stones” gives a picturesque and poetic description of the Ramappa
Temple. The Universal approach of Dharma (the core of all religions) based
on eternal values is admirably expressed in “Dharma and Governance”. This type of approach is the utmost need of
hour as religion is misinterpreted and transferred into a destructive weapon
poisoning the minds of the people and eventually posing a grave threat to the
whole world. The article “Views on
Reviews” stresses the need for setting parameters for passing impartial and
fair remarks on any work of art”.
-G. Ramaseshu, Nizamabad
“It
is always a pleasure to go through your editorial – for it is either innovative
in thought or treatment in delineation of the particulars topic taken up for
discussion. This time too about the
famous writers and artists is ‘superb’.
The articles “Aurangazeb and Dara Shikoh” and ‘Religion vs Humanism’ are
quite interesting”.
-Dr. Manas Bakshi, (West Bengal)
“Triveni
the only literary magazine which is serving for the last 70 years. It gives lot of poetry and articles of high
literary value. The tribute to R.K.
Narayan by Andavalli is interesting”.
-Dr. R.A. Padmanabha Rao, New Delhi
“The articles in TRIVENI are quite interesting
and imparting knowledge of our literacy and cultural aspects-Let TRIVENI flow
with the same zeal of current”.
-Ponnapalli Srirama Rao, Malikipuram
“Interesting
facts about writers and artists are really interesting and informative. S. Samal’s ‘Refusing to our History’ is
thought provoking. Free ride given by
D. Ranga Rao on FALAKNUMA EXPRESS and many others are a good reading fare”.
-B. Parvatala Rao, Warangal
