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:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
