Sona Mussoorie is famous for rice and comedy Chakraborty Gangavathy Pranesh as Gangavathy of Koppal district is famous for the nano stories and satires of Sahitya Sri Raghavendra Mangalore. Raghavendra is a retired bank officer but a dynamic literati by nature. There is no genre of literature that Raghavendra Mangalore has not touched, just as there is no plant that a goat has not touched. Raghavendra Mangalore has a ready hand in stories, novels, nano stories, satire and comedy articles.

In the nineteen eighties and nineties, many of his comedy/satire stories were published in the famous newspapers of the country such as Prajamata, Tharanga, Inchara, Sanyakta Karnataka, Kannada Prabha etc. and gained public appreciation. After being promoted as an officer in the bank, literary cultivation declined a bit, but after retirement, he rose again like a phoenix and is engaged in literary cultivation. Currently nano stories and satires are emerging from his pen in full bloom.

His witty satires on current affairs are engaging and entertaining readers. Bursting with sharp punching dialogues, his satires deserve an appreciative readership. Hoping that many more literary works from Sri Raghavendra Mangalore will be offered to the Kannada Saraswat world in the coming days, Mr.

Raghavendra Mangalore
