The Department of Kannada conducted a seminar on K.P.Poornachanra Tejaswi’s novel’ KRISHNEGOWDANA AANE ’on September 10, 2016 at College Seminar Hall. Dr. Narendra Rai Derla ,Associate Professor ,Government First Grade College ,Bellare was the resource person.
In his insightful session he said” KRISHNEGOWDANA AANE’ is one such story which is based on the troubles faced by the residents of small town due to the elephant owned by Krishne Gowda.This elephant created by Tejaswi,is no ordinary elephant. It isn’t a rouge tusker trumpeting in the forest. Instead it’s a sacrilegious elephant given to SawMill Krisnne Gowda by a monastery as they weren’t able to take care of it. This elephant roams around the streets,waits in front shops for bananas,is terrified of the crackers burst by the naughty urchins of the town and in essence becomes the prime suspect in tons of troubles,travails and calamities.”
