phase.

original in Marathi through its
English version.
Telugu
Poets
Kandukuru
Veeresalingam (1848-1919) compiled the
`Lives of Telugu poets' between
1887-97. It was first published in
1917 as two volumes.
Satirical
Essays
This
work, a collection of articles
authored by the well-known Tamil
writer Kumidini, first published
half-a-century ago ironically has more
relevance to happenings in the 21st
century.
Marred
By Flawed Expression
This
book of poems is riddled with errors
in punctuation and grammar, however,
the poet does show some promise.
A
Disappointing Muddle
Rather
than being an essential guide to Hindi
cinema, the book reads more like a
personal favourites list.
Twist
In The Tales
Although
tighter editing would have improved
the book, its stories tug at the
heartstrings and have compelling
endings.
A
Brief History Of The Asura Pond
There
was only one pond in Gobindapur, and
everyone in the village used it. It
was fairly large, covering ten to
twelve batis, with banks ten to twelve
arm-lengths high, and was known as
Asura Pond.
A
Classic Novel And The Literary View
From Below
Fakir
Mohan Senapati's classic Oriya novel
is a marvel of 19th century literary
realism, complex and sophisticated. It
seeks to analyse and explain social
reality instead of merely holding up a
mirror to it.
