Career
Yandamuri Veeerendranath is a multi-faceted personality, being a playwright, novelist, film director, and personality development motivator.
In Telugu literature during the 1960s and 1970s, female writers like Yaddanapoodi Sulochana Rani were dominating the scene, because most of the readers were female. This led to sidelining of the male writers. Some male writers wrote stories and novels using female pen names. Yandamuri reversed these trends and came up with his first novel "Rushi". He stole the limelight with Tulasi Dalam without using any pen name. This book became a best seller. He wrote about 50 novels including Vennello Aadapilla and Antarmukham. His works were translated into several languages, namely Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, English, Hindi, and Marathi.
His personality-development book Vijayaniki 5 Metlu (Success in Five Steps) created an all time record in Telugu literature, by generating sales worth 20,000,000 rupees.
He started Saraswati Vidya Peetham in Kakinada by investing 10,000,000 rupees to educate the poor tribal students in academics as well as personality development.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
