Former marine engineer turned writer Sudhkar Unudurti (b. 1954) quickly established himself as a significant writer in Telugu with the publication of his book of stories Toorupu Gaalulu (Eastern Winds), which brought alive significant historical situations and shifting paradigmatic contexts from the ancient Buddhist times, as well as the British colonial times , at various locations on the eastern Andhra coast. He has since then published one more volume of stories and two novels.

This edition of DHWANI will feature a performative reading of three stories of Sudhakar, two of them from the volume Toorupu Gaalulu (Eastern Winds), supported and enehanced with appropriate suggestive and symboliclly connected visual and audio elements.
