FOREWORD
Many things in this long life of mine are a kind of ‘mystery
to myself’, things that cannot be rationally explainable. One of
them is my venturing into the Telugu literary arena, lo, as a
novelist, to pen two novels. If anything, not only their content
and the characters but also the timing of the muse that
occasioned that never ceases to puzzle me.
Kshantavyulu, HõΔO`«=ÙºÅ∞, was written in the year 1956 when
I was just a 21-year old lad, freshly out of university, living in
Delhi with my elder brother, preparing, entirely untutored, for
the toughest competition in India. I.A.S. examination. How the
idea of writing a novel germinated in my head at such a career-
defining time, how the plot of a complex tale took shape with
so little exposure to the raw passions and evocative emotions
exhibited by the characters in that endeavour defies my
imagination ‘even now’. However, I vividly remember the day I
finished it; I was so relieved that I felt it did not matter if the
manuscript remained unpublished or whatever might happen
to my I.A.S attempt, indeed, if I lived or died that very minute.
It was altogether in a different set of circumstances of life
that Aprâsyulu, J„áêâ◊√ºÅ∞, followed in the year 1961, when I was
the Sub-collector at Parvatipuram in Andhra Pradesh. How I
summoned the zeal, drive and perseverance to write another
all-consuming novel in the middle of doing a high-pressure job,
as I look back, remains beyond my comprehension. Be that as it
may, after I finished it, as I moved on professionally, the literary
outpours of my youthful passions took a backseat in my life’s
iv

5. pursuits. But it was, I think in 1965, when I was the Collector of
Karimnagar District, now in the Telangana State, my good friend
and colleague J. Bapu Reddy, already a well-known Telugu writer
by then, believed that my literary excursions were publish-
worthy; so he used his good offices to get both of them published
by Adarsa Grandha Mandali, Vijayawada, in 1966.
Although technically ‘published’ these books that meant
so much for me once would have gone into oblivion but for the
conviction of my nephew BS Murthy (Babu, as we call him) a
writer himself and a ‘lover of literature’, that they deserve a
permanent place in the e-shelf of the Telugu novels. It’s thus, he
has invested an enormous amount of energy and time to bring
my over sixty-year old ‘novel’ muse into the Telugu e-book world,
particularly so in the rehabilitation of Kshantavyulu, HõΔO`«=ÙºÅ∞,
for its lone tome in my bookshelf was moth eaten in good
measure. So, but for Bapu Reddy these books would never have
come into public gaze then and they would not have had a re-
birth now but for Babu. I am deeply grateful to both of them.
Thus, after a lifetime of prolific writing in English to some
critical acclaim, it is intriguing as well as heartening that, in my
fading moments, my literary work in my mother tongue is getting,
so to speak, posthumously resurrected.
Now it is left to the readers, whom I urge to read my
following q[˝Ñ≤Î in the first edition, to judge if all this effort is
worth all this while.
