There is an interview in Telugu of Kodavatiganti Rohiniprasad (son of the famous Telugu writer Kodavatiganti Kutumbarao)
in Koumidi . Rohiniprasad is a physicist who writes, mainly in Telugu, on science and music. He has a
blog which has some of his writings.

i'd discovered his blog a few months ago.. thought i'd let you know in case you were interested. i'm glad you've found it... some of kodavatiganti's work has been translated... would definitely like to know your views on the original work..
Kuffir,
I have been in touch with him for about a couple of years and we share information on science topics. He has been trying to persuade me to write in Telugu on science topics. I would like that but there is this streak of a student in me trying to learn many topics that I do not know, particularly in social scinces. Moreover I do not subscribe to any particular ideology and am an atheist. Since I was passionate about mathematics for a long time, time passed quickly and I am trying to catch up.
Rohiniprasad is an quite accomplished and organized man and writes very well on both science and music. Among the few science writers in Telugu that I have read, he is among the best I think.
I am just finding my feet. Two recent books I read seem to be showing some direction. These are "Our inner ape" by Frans De Waal and "Mother Nature" by Sarah Hrdy. At the moment, I think that Sarah Hrdy's book is the best popular science book that I have read ( I have not read Darwin, but I read some books of Richard Dawkins, Jarred Diamond, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley among others). Of course, this enthusiasm may wane.
My father Mr. Kutumbarao's website can be found at kodavatiganti.iwarp.com.
As for knowledgeable people like Dr. Swarup, I only wish readers coud benefit from their experience and wisdom.
