‘Birds are part of my life. They appear in my narration as any other human character. Similarly human presence could be felt in my birding recounting. Birds have been portrayed as having intellect and character as they are, in my writings. I haven’t perceived bird watching as an amateur or ornithologist pursuit. Nature is always portrayed as main character in my novels and short-stories’. These words of Sri. K Poornachandra Tejaswi, renowned author in Kannada language, a language practiced by some 50 million people, mostly in Southern India, aptly represents his inquisitiveness on birds and nature.
Unlike many educated Indians, Tejaswi settled in Western Ghats (Chikkamagalur district, Karnataka) in the guise of farming to continue his foremost love - exploration. He was a person of multifaceted interest - Creative writing, Farming, Painting, Music, Photography, Fishing, Technology, Publishing, etc. He eagerly responded to the problems faced by the nature, humans and actively involved in many populist movements. His father’s (Kuvempu) love of nature, influenced him at an early age, and inspired him to enter into the infinite field of nature. His five decades of nature observations is reflected in most of his popular science books, short stories and novels. Here is an attempt to compile some rare ones, especially bird related instances, as all are unique in nature and many are recorded nowhere else.

He has written a number of well-known novels and short stories. He was raised in Malnad with a natural love of the outdoors and a burning desire to unravel its mysteries. Once his postgraduate studies were over, he made the decision to follow his heart. He arrived at Mudigere, a Malnad outpost, because of his interests in agriculture, photography, ornithology, wildlife, and writing. His fame as a writer and advocate for environmental and social causes all originated in this area. He separated himself from the influence of his father, Kuvempu, and carved out a unique place for himself in Kannada writing. Poorna Chandra Tejaswi is the author of the short tale Around A Medicinal Creeper. One day Tejaswi and Mara were constructing a bamboo structure. For the purpose of connecting the bamboo framework, Sanna brought some creepers. The gift included a medicinal creeper. All of them proceeded to inspect the creeper, which Mara tied to a nearby plant so that it would be easy to find afterward. Every square inch of it, according to Mara, is useful. After twenty years, Tejaswi finally heard from Krishna about the benefits of the creeper. Farmhand Krishna formerly suffered from piles. Krishna asked a Malay Godman for a cure for piles. After tracking down the creeper, Tejaswi and Krishna removed its tuber, crushed it, and drank it with milk for five days. He had no more piles. Poornachandra Tejaswi's "Around a Medicinal Creeper," tells the story of an uncommon medicinal creeper about which he had heard numerous tales. He was aware that not all stories were factual, but he was also aware that not all stories were entirely made up. He recounts many events that lead to the identification of th Mysuru’s favorite and largest circulated English evening daily has kept the citizens of Mysuru informed and entertained since 1978.

This feature, inspired by the adventures of modern science, rendered him the hero of young readers. But what saved him from becoming a writer of detective thrillers is his seeking for the mystic. There are few writers who have achieved what Tejaswi could: he was able to cater to two categories of readers – those who looked for entertainment in literature as well as to those for whom it was a serious intellectual pursuit. Tejaswi was majorly drawn towards modern science and technology. Along with the dog and the bee, you find that a jeep, a scooter and a water pump becoming characters in his writings. He had great respect for the achievements and adventures of European scientists. Remember that the protagonist of his novel “Carvalho” was a scientist with a Eurpoean mind: a modern, humanist thinker. Writing about the river Nile, he reveals great reverence for Livingstone who became a martyr, while on his mission. But unlike other greens who are anti-modernity, anti-development and anti-technology, and strongly advocate the traditional way of life, Tejaswi was unique. Though he moved faraway from the din and bustle of city life, he was a worshipper of modernity and technology. What to us was truly surprising was that he could capture expressions in those birds. According to us, nobody in India has been able to achieve what he has been able to. So much so that, if you talk to them about “expressions” in a bird, they may even scoff at you.
