I just got back to Houston after a hectic trip to Houston -- and the following is a few things that happened literally….and I apologize for “bragging again”…

1. I appeared on Sakshi TV (one hour phone in program called Vedika ) and the following is a link. I also appeared on Gemini TV ( telecast yesterday in their Guest hour program), Zee TV and Siti Cable TV ( to be telecast in their “Coffee time” program…..all these programs are basically interviews of the TVs on my own humble contribution as a writer & through VFA and about Telugu Saahityam in USA…The following is a link for Sakshi TV program…Of course, I was also interviewed by several magazines including a three hour interview by editor of Navya Weekly.

2. As a part of 17 th anniversary celebrations of Vanguri Foundation of America….we had a unique program in which almost all recipients (22 ) of Kendra Sahitya Academy puraskara graheetalu… are honored on the same stage..a first in the history of all of India. It has been a privilege to honor Telugu literary stalwarts such as Malathi Chandur, Kalipatnam Rama Rao, K. Siva Reddy, Dr. C. Narayana Reddy, N. Gopi, Yarlagadda, Kethu Viswanatha Reddy etc..(attached please find a complete list) We also released my fifth publication called Ameri”kakamma” Kathalu (32 stories) which is 45 th book published by VFA. Gollapudi garu and Jonnavithula garu spoke on the book…This program was telecast live by about ten TV channels and covered all major news papers in AP…. …The following are links for photos of the event and a You Tube video…
