Sreenivasa Ainapurapu writes Telugu poetry, edited the Sanghamitra magazine for twelve years, and once sent his colleagues a short message every Friday. One house, three rooms.
Poetry
A Satakam is a Telugu form: a hundred or more verses, each one closing on the same refrain. Sreenivasa has published one and is writing others. Write to him if you would like to read a poem he has already shared, or to arrange a time to hear one read aloud.
Sreenivasa's published Satakam, written on Lord Sri Venkateswara. The book was released at an event on 9 August 2025, and the whole release is on the Sanghamitra YouTube channel.
The verses themselves are not on this site yet. Use the form below and Sreenivasa will send you what he has.
Sreenivasa on the writing of Viswanatha Satyanarayana, the Telugu novelist and poet given the title Kavisamrat, emperor among poets, and the first Telugu winner of the Jnanpith, India’s highest literary award. It is on the Sanghamitra YouTube channel.
The magazine
An online magazine for knowledge, entertainment and progress, published four times a year in Telugu and in English. Vemana's verses, the songs of Annamayya, the stories behind everyday proverbs, a page from his own diary.
Seventy-five pieces from eleven issues can be read now. The rest of the magazine is still being put online. Some titles below repeat because they were regular columns, running issue after issue.
Friend Messages
For two and a half years, while Sreenivasa was working at a large company, he sent his colleagues a short message every Friday: an ethical thought, a small story from life, a lesson worth carrying into the weekend.
It began as the Friday weekend message. Take FRI from Friday and END from weekend, and you have Friend. Word spread, and senior people asked to be put on the list. He wrote them in Telugu and in English, and he still means to gather them into a booklet.
None of them are on this site yet. They will appear here in the order he sent them.
