Since very long time l am observing the discussion about Nacharla and NS Kusuma.
I had personal cantact with Mr. Raghu, who took over Ramani and Radhika, from Vijaya Bapineedu, and his son Mr. Durga prasad. Ramani, Radhika, Lovelark , Manasa publicationas and few others were published from a rented House very near to residence of Silk Smita, in Dhanalaksimi colony, of Vadapalani, after some time they purchased a house in same colony, next to house of Mandolin Srinivas.
This was house cum press. Rear part of the house had the press. In the bigining it was type setting. In the later days they shifted to offset printing.
Nacharla Suryanayana was their main contributer. He was made to write under many names. NS Kusuma is one of them. He is a state government employee of Andhra Pradesh.( I do not wish to give any more details). On a fine day he informed that he is not going to write any more. Reason he gave was children are growing up and he was promoted, and was not getting time and privacy.
Durga prasad and Raghu tried their best make him write . But could not succeed. And we lost a great writer.
From then the downfall of Ramani and Radhika started. In the bigining they reprinted most of the old stories, By that time Tamil Nadu government also started anti Porno drive. And Raghu expired, and Durga prasad shifted to civilian printing.
What should I call it ?, Death of a golden era.
