Book Donation

Yesterday, I happened to visit the residence of Telugu veteran writer Malyasri ji.He was busy with packing books to send them somewhere.He told me that he was donating all these books from his collection to two libraries,which are running by two voluntary organisations namely Spoorti Granthalayam,Tadipatri and Sneha sahiti Granthalayam,Godavar khani of Andhra pradesh.

I thought that this kind act deserves a posting in my blog so that my visitors could know a man of letters here with.Malyasri is his psydonym.Original name is Chinturi Mallayya.Born in Mogallapalli,a remote village in Charla mandal,Bhadrachalam division.He served as a village development officer in the state Govt.of A.P. and retired almost more than a decade back.

He penned hundreds of short stories,poems,playlets and associated with number of literary organisations in the state. A student of Telugu University had done M.Phil on the writings of Malyasri.
