Tributes to the great writer and poet, Jnanpeeth awardee late Sri C. Narayana Reddy

ప్రముఖ తెలుగు కవి, రచయిత, ప్రతిష్టాత్మక జ్ఞానపీఠ్ పురస్కార గ్రహీత, శ్రీ సింగిరెడ్డి నారాయణ రెడ్డి గారి మరణం పట్ల మా ప్రగాఢ సంతాపం తెలుపుతున్నాము; ఆయన సముజ్వల స్మృతికి నివాళులు అర్పిస్తున్నాము.
HEARTFELT PROFOUND CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE GREAT TELUGU POET AND JNAN PEETH AWARDEE SRI C. NARAYANA REDDY AND REVERENT TRIBUTES TO HIS MEMORY
I feel very sad to know that Sri CNR, known as sinaarey for short, is no more. He is a sterling writer, great poet in Telugu and he will be remembered forever for his conscientious and inspiring song: "Telugu jaati manadi, ninduga velugu jati manadi"! and also for his innumerable exquisite film songs, some with precious messages to the society.
I am personally indebted to him for his writing a nice foreword to my book on "How to learn Telugu in 30 days" written as per the requirements of late BB Dasguptaji, a veteran sarvodaya leader of Kolkata.
Hope sinare's contribution to Telugu literature will ever inspire the younger generations to cherish and promote their mother tongue Telugu at all costs and strive for and achieve Telugu unity and progress.
