READERS’ MAIL

Wish you and close to you a happy new year.  I hope Platinum Jubilee of TRIVENI will be celebrated with glory and grandeur.
-Pronab Kumar Majumder, Kolkata

Your editorial “Is not happiness within us?” gives me happiness of seeing many good, related quotations at one place.  They show different angles of vision, the vision of happiness.  Especially, I like Emerson’s simple but telling words, “If we pour perfume on others a few drops will fall on us.”  The last sentence of the editorial is “He is not well dressed, who does not smile”. For me this smile is the perfume.
-K. V. Ramana Rao

My best wishes for a grand success of the Platinum Jubilee function of TRIVENI. May the function turn out to be a memorable event in your life and in the life of TRIVENI.
-K. M. Kale, Gondia (Maharashtra)

I am glad TRIVENI is in good hands.  I used to read it regularly.  In fact, if I recall correctly, I published a couple of papers in it.  I trust, its Platinum Jubilee will be celebrated in a manner fitting this outstanding periodical, possibly the best published from Andhra Pradesh.
-Prof. K. Ramakrishna Rao, Vizag

I am very glad that you and other friends are interesting yourselves actively continuing the publication of TRIVENI Quarterly, and thus serving a great cause which Ramakotiswara Rau had in his heart.
-Justice Nittoor Srinivasa Rau, Bangalore

Having lived in journalism for nearly half a century, I know how difficult it is to run a magazine of the stature of TRIVENI. That you have been maintaining the standards set by the late founder Kolavennu Ramakotiswara Rau garu, is a matter of pride to all of us, the journalists who knew what TRIVENI was.
-Potturu Venkateswara Rao

May the nectarine waters of the holy TRIVENI, the confluence of education and culture, humanism and higher knowledge flow freely on in the New Year 2004, to flood the hearts and minds of people for carrying a new awakening into the realms of love and wisdom.
 -M. Bhimsen Rao, Berhampur

TRIVENI is dear to me.  I had the privilege of knowing Sri Ramakotiswara Rau garu and Sri Narasimha Rao garu with whom I played tennis and interacted regularly. It will be serious lapse on my part if I don’t participate in the celebrations-
-Dr. A. Prasanna Kumar, Vizag

TRIVENI has been an inspiring journal for me right from my childhood as my father had been a regular subscriber to the valued journal. I have also contributed articles a few years .  I shall be in tough from time to time and deem it a rare privilege.
   -Dr. K. Pramila Sastry, Rewa

I am glad to note that TRIVENI is trying to live up to its founding ideals.  It is a journal started by Andhras and it is our pride to keep it going.
-Prof. D. S. Rao, Chennai

Your articles “Spicy bits of Scientists’ Lifes” excels in every respect.  I feel prompted to quote Albert Einstien’s response to the protest of a women’s organisation against his visit to the US published in Mein Weltbild (Amsterdam, Querido Verlag, 1934) – “Reply to the women of America – Never yet have I experienced from the fair sex such energetic rejection of all advances ; or if I have, never from so many at once.  But are they not quite right, these watchful citizenesses? Why should one open one’s doors to a person who devours hard boiled capitalists with as much apetite and gusto as the Cretan Minotaur in days gone by, devoured luscious Greek maindens and on top of that is low down enough to reject every sort of war except the unavoidable war with one’s own wife?  Therefore give heed to your clever and patriotic womenfolk and remember that the Capitol of mighty Rome was once saved by the cackling of its faithful geese”  hope you will like this addition, a humble submission from an avid reader.
-Dr. Mansa Bakshi, Bhadrakali (WB)

I enjoyed reading your “Spicy bits of Scientists’ Lives”.  Like all articles, it sparkles with gems of thoughts and witty sayings as well as interesting incidents and facts not commonly known to readers.  The comments about Dr. S. Radhakrishnan and Swami Vivekanand are a fine tribute to their greatness as teachers and you have rightly emphasized that the teacher’s role is to bring about ‘the resurgence of a new spirit or awakening consisting of intellectual alertness, humane feeling and the finer impulses’.
 -M. G. Narasimha Murthy

Nowadays these residential colleges are satisfied with getting ranks.  Teachers should inspite and motivate.  Dr. Arka Somayaji jocularly used  to say there are three types of teachers – one who confuses himself, the other confuses others and the third does both.
-K. G. Ramachandra Murthy
