Krishna Shastri Devulapalli | Two photographs, two last goodbyes

Deccan Chronicle  

The other day, I got a couple of pictures from an old school friend whom I hadn’t heard from in a while. *** Over the years, the poet Devulapalli Krishna Sastri has affectionately been referred to as Andhra’s Shelley. As it happens, there has been an equally large contingent of poetry lovers over the years who have taken objection to Krishna Sastri being called Andhra’s Shelley. To my knowledge, Krishna Sastri’s travels in his lifetime — and he travelled a lot, mind you — were mostly restricted to the Telugu-speaking regions of our country. Later, visiting the graves of Shelley and Keats, imagine my surprise to see that we had lost Keats on the 24th of February — the exact same date as his Telugu compatriot Krishna Sastri.
