“I have given one more reading to the article written by Mr. Pattabhiram in the latest TRIVENI (Vol 66/1). He excels in writing in a legalistic way using thin razor-­edged arguments. Also he is an adept in using journalistic English which harps more on controversies.

–R. Suryanarayana Murthy (Hyderabad)

“I have been admiring the heroic endeavours of you all in keeping the flag of TRIVENI flying. No, there’s no criticism as such, but in keeping with the spirit in which TRIVENI was founded, more articles on Indian literary and socio-political scene would be welcome. Also, introduce work being done in the languages of India instead of giving space to articles of the ‘research ­thesis’ variety on writers in England and America. However worthy articles should be welcomed as also informative essays on literary work being done in Africa, Sri Lanka etc., Also give weightage to Telugu and encourage contributors to unearth works like Tenneti Suri. Now, cannot somebody write about the first Telugu translation of Silappadikaram as Majira Gatha? It would be most helpful to researchers, add to our cultural riches and promote national integration.”

-Dr. Prema Nandakumar, Srirangam

“You have given a good collection (Triple Stream Vol 66/3) of success stories ranging from the past and the present including people from the tinsel world and the gyrating singer Jackson etc., As you grow old, you seem to cut across the generation divide and reach out for articles even by the latest fire Kupplili Padma!”

–Dr. R. Janardana Rao (Machilipatnam)

“I like your editorial notes (Triple Stream) which are usually on a high level of discourse. It is also good to have the letters and the ‘who’s who among our contributors’.”

- Dr. D. Anajenyulu (Madras)

“I read your editorials “English on tap but not top” and “Hitch your wagon to a star­-no alibis” with interest and found them inspiring. The second one is surely educative for the youth as well as the old for pursuing the vocation of life with further determination and a sense of purpose. I appreciate...citing the illustrious lives of so many men and women who have made a mark for themselves in this fleeting world, include a short biographical sketch of the inspiring personalities of the world as a standard feature of TRIVENI. If we, thus, keep in touch with the past, we can move forward with greater hope and vision. Thank you for reprinting Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech “Tryst with Destiny”. I was looking for this sometime ago. Now, I have it with me.?

-Dr. P. Dhanavel (Agartala)
