The story behind Pawan Kalyan loving Seshendra
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,January 24 2017]
Pawan Kalyan, who quoted inspiring literature of Guntur Seshendra Sharma in his tweets today, fell in love with the feted author some time last year. The person who introduced the author to Powerstar is none other than his learned friend Trivikram Srinivas.
In late 2015 or early 2016, Trivikram had laid his hands on 'Adhunika Mahabharatam', a not-so-widely circulated and read, but quite an inspiring, book written by Seshendra Sharma, the acclaimed and respected poet, critic and writer. Once he was done with reading the book, the writer-director was inspired to recommend it to the Jana Sena chief, who too found it quite forceful. It was then that he felt the ideas presented in the book should be spread. Pawan asked for an arrangement to be made to meet the late writer's son to assure the latter of financial assistance. Eventually, the book was re-printed.
"If you are courageous, will there be darkness in the country?" is one of his favourite quotes from the book. Sharma says in the book that a country's wealth are not its mines, rivers or forests, but the youths who dream and act.
