Sri A.V. Raju &
Sri Raman Reddy Kamjula, Melbourne in memory of

his beloved grand mother Smt. Janga Anasuyamma.
I first met Ganapathi Rao when he released his earlier book,
“Marige Thaarusarovaram”. I remember clearly my coming to
the defense of this writer, saying that he was not a pessimist,
but an idealist! Perhaps this comment gave him the idea that I
could, through this foreword, acquaint others too with my
paradigm.
According to Thomas De Quincey, the famous English essayist,
there are two kinds of literature: one, the literature of knowledge,
and the other, the literature of power. “The function of the first
is to teach”, Quincey famously articulated, and the function of
the second, “to move”.”Nippula Toofan”, a compilation of short
stories by Ganapathi Rao, falls clearly into the category of the
second. It is a literature intended to empower the reader, and to
accomplish this task, Ganapathi Rao chooses to shock his reader
through his writing. The book, therefore, is not for pleasant
entertainment, but an outcry of an angered writer who unleashes
his helpless rage through his pen.
Both the protagonists as well as the ideas in his stories surprised
me with their deliberate and unique grotesqueness. Be it in the
story “Menarikam Maya” where the unborn foetus engages itself
in a dialogue with the mother, or in the story “Nippula Toofan”,
in which dogs and cats hatch a diabolical plot to ‘cleanse’ society
of its decadence by intentionally contracting the dreaded rabies
and infect people around in a master plan to annihilate corrupt
mankind, Ganapathi Rao’s writing is original and unabashedly
shocking, and the message consistent : that society is in need of
drastic transformation. Whatever the verdict of the readers, one
thing cannot be denied about this author, and that is his sincerity,
which reflects in his writing. I wish Ganapathi Rao all the very
best in all he wishes to do.

"H ow I wish Sri Sri was alive today!” was the first thought
that came to me after I read my dear friend Ganapathi
Rao’s latest literary adventure. For, in my humble opinion, Sri
Sri is the right person for writing the foreword to this latest
collection of short stories each outdoing the other in their
daunting crusade for the revival of righteousness in our
decadent society.
If the immortal Sri Sri gave a new dimension of belligerence to

the medium of poetry best suited for romance, Sanku Ganapathi
Rao with his uncanny imagination and unfettered eloquence
has given a new meaning to the short story format popular
among authors of humour and mystery. First with “Marige
Taarusarovaram” and now with the present foray of his piercing
pen, Ganapathi Rao has added his own idiom to the fight against
the omnipotent omnipresent greed and depravity that have
afflicted all sections of our society.
Ganapathi Rao’s clever usage of animals and birds to drive home

his poignant points is reminiscent of "Aesop’s fables" and
"Panchathantra" tales that we still cherish from our childhood.
His themes though are necessarily morbid, focussed as they are
on the dark side of our adult society. So what if the stories have
not offered any remedy to the maladies projected in them?
Personally, I have revelled in the Telugu rhetoric and the
diabolical theme of each story that has now become a
characteristic of Ganapathi Rao to whom story telling is a tool
for social reform and not a platform for recreation. I am sure
you will too.

The story is interesting and the “turn about” and “getting

even” elements have much potential.
I would suggest, however, that you don’t forget to include
the sad fact that neglect of the elderly is a recurrent affliction
occurring in every generation. In their younger days, the
old people of today treated their own parents with the same
disregard they suffer.
Harry Buschman, Carle Place, NY , USA
First of all I became a nonagenarian three years ago. I joined
the US army when Hitler moved into Poland and saw a good
part of the world until I resigned in 1945. All this has led to
a lifetime of experiences, which by the grace of God I still
remember.
Using these experiences, I have written hundreds of short
stories. I’ve been fortunate to have one hard cover book
published in Europe and used as a textbook in English
speaking schools in the Balkans. I’ve also appeared in a half
dozen anthologies in England, Canada and US.

HELLO! I just read your new story, “Twilight Zone.” It is
a shocking and very interesting view into the life of an
elderly man. The brutality of his family was terrible. It
seems that those who should love and support their parents
can become true monsters. It is a study in society’s failure
to teach the value of our elders and their continuing
importance in our families and our world. It was a powerful
and sad story and I was glad the man survived.

The story is good. It kept you wondering what was going to

happen next. I do agree where you wrote God moves in
strange ways.. That is so true. I have experienced in my life
where God does move in mysterious ways. His ways are always
best.
The end of the story was good where in realized in his dream
he saw his parents in Raju. Phyllis Ann, USA.
Hi.
It is very interesting. Very nice job story though. It was
interesting and kept my attention. I wish you well with
your book.

sacred heritage, for your children and your children's chil-
dren. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your
country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Sri Markandey Katju
Writers must serve a social purpose
An excerpt from "The Hindu", January 28, 2012
Today India thirsts for good literature. If someone writes about
the people’s real problems it will spread like wildfire. But are
our writers doing this? If they are not, why do they complain
that nobody wants to read them? Art and literature must serve
the people. Writers and artists must have genuine sympathy for
the people and depict their sufferings. Like Dickens and Shaw
in England, Rousseau and Voltaire in France, Thomas Paine and
Walt Whitman in America, Chernyshevsky and Gorky in Russia
and Sarat Chandra and Nazrul Islam in Bengal, they must
inspire people to struggle for a better life, what can be really
called human existence, and to create a better world, free of
injustice. Only then will people respect them.

All the ten stories in this collection "Marige Thaarusarovaram"
are highly impacting for the reason that they truly reflect the
contemporary reality.
- Ambika Ananth, "The Hindu" book review
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-bookreview article2024838.ece
Your stories are thought provoking and heart searching

- Srinivas Kanda
Hello, Sanku garu, finally I have just completed reading your

book. You seem to be good at catching the pulse of the society.
Keep writing. You really have a great future. Looking forward
to reading more of your stories
- Dr. Krishnakumari Challa
Your desire to smash this present nasty, brutal and cruel society
is clearly established in your ten storied book. This book, not
only kept in libraries but also be placed in every house as it is
such a worthy book.
-Mantri Radha Krishna Murthy (Kishhan Mantri)
Interesting comments. It sounds like your stories are works

based in stark reality rather than being sugar coated for
consumption. I like that truthful and realistic style of writing. I
think it brings the truth to the surface and keeps it there. It
sounds like your book is a growing success. Sanku! I am happy
for you and please keep me posted!! I believe you are a truly
caring person who is aware of the great difficulties faced by
people who are forced to walk a sad path. Take care, dear one.
- Sharon Neel Smith

Ms. Frani and her daughter-in-law
Dear Sanku, I love your new book. The cover is beautiful. It is well
written, I’m certain of this, because I’ve read some of your stories
in translation. They are deeply touching and the time has come to
share your stories with the masses. My 'daughter-in-love' also
enjoyed your book. We shared it over lunch the day it came in the
mail. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to look inside. She was
very interested too.
Sanku, know that you are loved by so many....and that we put our
positive energy into your desires manifesting as well as our own.
If you want something bad enough and you keep working toward
it, then it will come ... And may you have countless blessings along
the way.
- Frani Pulli, Willow Grove PA, USA
Gan this latest picture of you is fantastic. You have piercing eyes
that can see right to the soul of people. I can see why your stories
have the reaction they have on publishers. They just do not want
to even think about what you see with your eyes and your heart.
They would just rather let the injustice continue and hopefully
someone will brush it under the rug. hugssssssssssssssss mary
