He has a distinctive style of writing dwelling on the border of poetic lines, brisk pace & brevity of words ( similar to that of Hemingway’s style ), inquisitive exploration into wide range of topics sweeps ordinary reader from his feet spinning into diggy heights. ( Review of Tripura Short Stories in Telugu language by Shri Kanaka Prasad )〔http://www.eemaata.com/em/issues/201105/1715.html〕 His short stories have brisk pace, brevity of words, allegorical references to various religious symbols and philosophical thinkings of Zen Buddism, Christianity. Tripura very deftly brings out various human emotions of the prothagonists, pathos, insecurities, guilt, love, joy. The backdrops of his stories span at various places in India – soldiers life in cantonments & borders; revolutionary’s dilemma about his journey; etc. Tripura’s short story ''Subbarayudu Rahasya Jeevitam'' though inspired by James Thurber’s short story of ''The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'', retains the originality and nativity of a Telugu short story. Tripura’s short stories have been acclaimed by many wellk-nown Telugu writers like Palagummi Padma Raju, Bhamidipati Ramagopalam, Vaddera Chandidas, Revolutionary poet Nikhileswar, Abburi Gopala Krishna, Chaganti Tulasi, Vegunta Mohana Prasad, Ismile, Vakati Panduranga Rao, R.S.
