hello all,
i pay my condolences.
puraaNam gaaru was better known for his short stories
like 'neeli' and others.
his witticisms in his illaali muccaTlu were well
remembered.
he was instrumental in getting baapu's illustrations
for some of srisri's poems.
he was always a srisri fan.
i owe him a bit for the encouragement he extended
to me by publishing my stuff.

Regards & Thanks
Vasu.
