SRIRAJU unicode type family with six weights

SRIRAJU: A unicode typeface family with four weights (Sriraju Bold and Sriraju Bold Italic, Sriraju Regular and Sriraju Regular Italic) was released on 28 November 2017 to commemorate the 75th birth anniversary of my father, C Srinivasaraju (28 November 1942 - 28 December 2007). Two more weights are being added to the type family today, 28 November 2019, to remember him on his 77th birthday. The newly added weights are Sriraju Stencil/Outline and Sriraju Stencil/Outline Italic. Please feel free to download and use.

Phoneix & Four Other Mime Plays





PHONEIX & FOUR OTHER MIME PLAYS
Navakarnataka, 2005

A translation from Kannada to English of mime plays by Chi Srinivasaraju

Winner of the KARNATAKA SAHITYA ACADEMY TRANSLATION PRIZE (2005-06)

Book Blurb:
Srinivasaraju wrote most of his plays in the seventies; a radical period in Kannada theatre. His plays are small. As opposed to the individualistic full length plays written during those times, Raju tried to make his plays small and socially accessible. By doing so, he was probably sending a message to the younger playwrights of his times, against self-indulgent experimentation. Raju also tried to write for a different audience. Thirty years later we have realised the folly of both self-indulgence and of not cultivating an audience. We have lost our audience.
I am happy that Srinivasaraju's mime plays are now getting published in English translation.
~ Prasanna, Heggodu
