Quotes from the Workdesk

Narikela-pāka: Books come in three levels of accessibility—the grape style, easily available to anyone; the banana style, where you have to peel off the outer layer; and the coconut style, where the reader has to work hard to crack open the text in order to reach the soft inner substance.





By killing their husbands, Śiva reduced these women to widows who cannot wear earrings.


[Bibliographic entry] Lalita, G. Tĕlugulo cāu-kavitvam. Vijayavada: Kwality Publishers, 1981.
