“READERS’ MAIL”

The first and foremost article “Pursuit of happiness” reveals the wide knowledge of the author. His scintillating  acumen to strike the rock bottom of verse issues, is indeed something amazing. A tough subject has been handled with care and caution. The analysis is lucid and tremendously satisfying. Such articles on vital aspects or practical human life, enhance the merit of the editor in an abounding measure. Let us hope for many more.

Every issue of TRIVENI is a discovery to me. It has retained its stature, standard and tradition nourished over a long period of time. Congratulations.

Your essay ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ being the Editorial, quoting a plurality of authorities of all persuasions, is thought-provoking. One fact, however, strikes any reader with an experienced reflective cast of mind. All thinkers and philosophers, even religious teachers, have adumbrated their concepts of Happiness, with the “Grown-ups” in their minds. Seldom any thought seems to have been bestowed upon small children in enjoyment of the primal instincts and impulses unless, of course as always happens in today’s society, their minds are troubled with a load of anxieties about their schooling. I propose that the small Nature’s Child, should be considered while inquiring into the Pursuit of happiness. I submit with all due respect to you that the very word “Pursuit” is instinct with a feeling of uneasiness. If Happiness is a thing to be “pursued”, it ceases to be Happiness. It is rather an attribute of the mind or soul. The young baby sucks the mother’s breast, and is happy. So in his case, Happiness is an ensuant of fulfillment of his physical needs. The basic urge satisfied, he enjoys happiness.

“May you all be healthy and happy, radiating cheer and goodwill everywhere! Your fine article swept me off my feet, even with first reading. It is superb and beyond words to say the least.

- P. Srirama Rao, Malikipuram

“I enjoyed reading your book reviews”

- R. Suryanayana Murthy, Hyderabad

“Congratulations on the sterling work you have done so far for TRIVENI in raising it almost to the international level. I appreciate highly your critique/review of the young American poets. Your sensibility and critical acumen is highly informed and incisive.”

- Dr. S. Samal, Cuttack

“Your editorial in October-Decembcr’99 issue is most readable. Our younger poet-editor-teacher colleagues should take note of what you wrote in the first three paragraphs”

- Dr. R. K. Singh. Dhabad

“Your editorial ‘Aspiring writers! Persistence pays’ - full of little known facts about well known writers is an excellent tonic that revives hope and restores confidence. Budding authors cold - shouldered by callous publishers will derive inspiration to carry on their work and not allow their talent to the nipped in the bud”

- M. G. Narasimha Murthy, Hyderabad

“I have been reading TRIVENI...the writings are of a high standard. Each editorial is a master piece by itself. The latest editorial on Aspiring/Writers is surely thought provoking and will boost the morale or talented new writers. The sufferings of Homer, Oliver Goldsmith and the disappointments met by Kinglake and George Bernard Shaw in the hands of publishers ultimately made them great writers. I wish that TRIVENI continues to publish such editorials for the benefit of its readers”

- A. S. Sarma, Hyderabad

“Your editorial “In pursuit of happiness” (Jan - Mar 2000) is erudite and solid. Unerringly it puts its finger on the inescapable essentials, if one is serious in his pursuit of true happiness. If understood and followed properly, all activities of life become the practice of yoga! Thank You for trying to instil some sense and spiritual values in a society moving towards crazy materialism”

- Dr K. V. Rama Rao, Rajahmundry

“I take this opportunity to congratulate you on a very comprehensive and enlightening editorial “Pursuit of Happiness”, which I read today on receiving your esteemed magazine”

- K. M. Kale, Gondia

“I do believe it is a great achievement to bring out a magazine of this quality which is worth more than the charges expected”

- N. V. Subbaraman, Chennai

“The triple stream in the latest issue - pursuit of Happiness is simply superb and I showed it to a few of my discerning friends. I am glad you are keeping your pen sharp”

- Andavilli, Vijayawada
