Ravi Hanj: Jugari Cross (Translation of Sri K P Poornachandra Tejaswi’s famous Kannada Work “Jugari Cross”)
I am delighted to bring the famous Kannada novel by Mr. K. P. Poornachandra Tejasvi to the global literary world. Jugari Cross is a suspense thriller woven around the common incidents that occur with an ordinary farming couple’s life. The story set within 24 hours is not just an ordinary suspense thriller with a trace of history and a literary quest, but seriously stimulates the reader to analyze the broader spectrum of philosophy, literature and the principles of global economies established around us.

Ravi Hanj: Kalappa’s COBRA (Translation of Sri K. Poornachandra Tejaswi's "PÁ¼À¥Àà£À PÉÆçæ")
There was a tug-of-war going on between the snake and Kiwi near the bath room fire pit covered with the cloud of ashes. Couldn’t figure which is snake’s head or tail by the whipping strap looking snake. Whenever its body touches the rusted kerosene tin during its lashes it used to make the drum beating sound. Seeing me, Teekappa and the Labor-Head both yelled “Please call Kiwi back, the snake is dancing near the tin.” Read On

The snake flute - Translation of Sri Poorna Chandra Tejaswi’s “Yenktana Pungi” story
Few days ago, a snake charmer came to me introducing himself as the brother-in-law of snake charmer Yenkta and told me that Yenkta died of a snake bite. Fever suffering Yenkta went on a call to catch a cobra and grabbed the snake by its neck instead of the head giving an opportunity to the cobra to bite him and died within few hours! Read On
