During my childhood, vaaNi was one of the magazines that our
family regularly subscribed to. It was an interesting magazine. It may
interest the some of the TELUSAers that the last page of vaaNi used to
be dedicated to 'samasyaapooraNamu', which also used to be a regular
feature on AIR, Vijayawada.
