About Dr. Vidyasagar, I remember IEEE Spectrum (for the non-CS/EE folks,
IEEE is the world's leading body of CS/EE professionals, and "Spectrum"
is their flagship publication) carried a profile on him, and among other
things, I remember him saying Potana is his favorite poet, and,
"strangely enough, I don't like english poets or telugu prose writers".
I personally cannot agree with this whole-heartedly (I think telugu
short stories are very vibrant, good and of high quality - although
there was a long hiatus during the past 2/3 decades). Any comments
from knowledgible TELUSAers?
Ok, so we have counted Drs. TRN Rao, M Vidyasagar, JN Reddy, and
Katta Murthy as technical authors with telugu quotes in their
books. Any additions? I have to check whether Dr. Rao Vemuri's books
do too.....
