నేటి భారత౦!!!

 While reading today's news paper two things caught my attention
1. Dropping Rohinton Mistry's  "Such a long journey" by Mumbai univeristy
2. Redtapism in CWG-2010

Let us first discuss about the first issue, the following info is gathered from various newspapers and online information:


Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray's son Aditya, a final-year Arts student at St. Xavier's College, has managed to get Rohinton Mistry's novel "Such A Long Journey" withdrawn from the syllabus.
The book was prescribed for the second year Bachelor of Arts (English) in 2007-08 as an optional text, according to University sources. It was also confirmed that Dr. Rajan Welukar, University of Mumbai's Vice-Chancellor (V-C) used the emergency powers under Section 14 (7) of the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994, to withdraw the book from the syllabus. Based on a complaint, the Board of Studies (English), which had recommended the book in the first place, resolved that it must be withdrawn with effect from September 15.
The University maintains that only 15 or 16 colleges opted for this book. On September 14, the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena (BVS), the Sena's student wing, burnt copies of the book in front of the University gates and demanded that it be withdrawn within 24 hours. President of the BVS Abhijit Panse said that the book contained foul language and derogatory references to the Shiv Sena. Subsequent to a meeting called by Mr. Aditya to discuss the matter, the BVS issued an ultimatum to Dr. Welukar and demanded that those members of the Board of Studies (BOS) who had recommended this book should not be involved with any decisions in future.
Mr. Panse feels the book is offensive to the people in Maharashtra and has abusive references to dabbawalahs, the mentality of the ‘Marathi manoos' and Pandit Nehru. Much to the consternation of students and professors, the University sent a circular dropping the book from its syllabus just before the first-term examinations.
The manner in which the book was withdrawn has led to criticism. Senior journalist and writer Aroon Tikekar said the issue was how a 20 year-old could go up to the VC and give him a 24-hour ultimatum to withdraw a book? He questioned the use of the emergency powers in the taking of this decision and asked if the issue merited this, adding that what would happen to the book in other Universities in the State remains unanswered.
There is outrage that the VC took a hasty decision. It was the last year for the syllabus. Dr. Vispi Balaporia, former chairperson of the BOS and former English Literature professor, emphasises that the book was not withdrawn for academic reasons, saying that political parties made a demand that has nothing to do with academics.
According to Dr. Balaporia, Dr. Welukar has acted in a high-handed manner without giving thought to the academic qualities of the book. The BOS was at liberty to frame syllabi by giving thought to what is being prescribed.

Sasi's quote:  This what we call as Democracy. The Son of a party's cheif secretary raised objection and VC immediately withdraws it from the syllabus using special powers. So friends from now onwards if you feel difficult in reading any book prescribed in syllabus, kindly contact Mr.Aditya Thackeray for withdrawing it from the syllabus immediately.

Coming to the second issue Corruption (I am sorry like liberty of speech these politicians and the officers have liberty to eat) in CWG-2010.

whenever i read regarding corruption by politicians and bureaucrats in papers, i recollect a famous joke which is as follows:

Once an Indian politician went to US and was invited by a congress man to his house for dinner. After seeing his house which is like small palace the Indian counterpart asked the congress man how he constructed such a building. The congress man points his finger to a far bridge, winks his eye and says 10%. After 3, 4 years the US congress man comes to India and was invited by his old friend for a dinner. By seeing his Luxurious Palace with fountains, gradens, personal gym, pool and Spa asks hi how he built it. The politician points his finger to a far bridge and winks his eye. The US congress man was puzzled and says to him that he did'nt see anything there. The Indian politician smiles, winks his eye and says 100%.

The officers brought a Rs. 50/- toilet roll for some thousands of rupees and a 2 tonne air conditioner which costs a maximum of Rs.50,000/- was brought for Rs.2,50,000/- and the list goes on like this. The following comparison might give you the whole idea.

 Sasi's quote:

 

Have fun

1. Long back, a person who sacrificed his sleep, forgot his family,
    Forgot his food, forgot laughter were called "SAINTS"

    But now they are called... "IT PROFESSIONALS"

2. An interesting line written at the back of a Biker's T Shirt:

“if you are able to see this, please tell me that my girlfriend has fallen off"


3. Most Relationships fail not because of the absence of love..

    Love is always present... It’s just that, one loves too much,

    And the other loves too many,


4. Employee: Boss, now i have got married..! Please increase my salary..!

    BOSS: Factory is not responsible for accidents occuring outside the company..!

5. Philosophy of life  at the beginning of married life, every girl treats her husband as GOD;   Later on somehow the alphabets got reversed..!
 
6. What is a Fear?
             Fear is the Deep, Wrenching feeling in your stomach when pages of your book , Still smell new and just few hours left for your exams..!
 

7. someone has rightly said, "A fool can ask more questions that a wise man  Cannot answer
     No Wonder why so many of us are speechless when lecturers ask question..!

8. Girl: Do you have Cards with sentimental Love quotes?
Shopkeeper: Oh sure..@! How about this card, it says "To the only boy I ever loved.!"
Girl: That’s good, Give me 12 of them..!

9. After reading the form filled by an applicant..
The employer said: " WE do have an  Opening for you..!
Applicant: What is it? Interviewer: It’s called the "door..!"  


10. A Banner cum Sign Board In front of an IT company..

Drive Slowly, Dont kill our Employee........ Leave them to us

తెలుగు మీ"ఢీ"యా ??

Hi friends!!

Its been a long time since i blog due to time factor. well i returned today for a noble cause. On vijayadasimi after completing pooja and lunch i was changing the channels and when i watch our own telugu news channels, i was shocked to see the news and the discussions being aired. What is going in your mind ? you might be thinking that the  news channels on a festive day may be airing programs like the greatness of VIJAYADASIMI or about godess durga or how she transformed to mahishasura mardini or what is the her greatness etc., etc.,, You are quite wrong my dear friends.. You are absolutely wrong. These programs were aired on all other language news channels. But, our telugu media channels are gr8, gr8er and gr8est than the other channels, that is the reason why we have nearly 15 news channels alone in telugu.

These are some of famous quotes about media:

1. If Thomas Edison invented electric light today, Dan Rather would report it on CBS News as, ''Candle making industry threatened''.
Newt Gingrich


2. If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of rubbish into it.
William A. Orton

 3.In old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press.
Oscar Wilde

4.  It is a misfortune that necessity has induced men to accord greater license to this formidable engine, in order to obtain liberty, than can be borne with less important objects in view; for the press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.
James F. Cooper


 5.  It is impossible to read the daily press without being diverted from reality. You are full of enthusiasm for the eternal verities -- life is worth living, and then out of sinful curiosity you open a newspaper. You are disillusioned and wrecked.
Patrick Kavanagh


Sasi's quote:   It is absolutely true 

6. It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.
Walter Benjamin

7. Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
Graham Greene

 8. Media, the plural of mediocrity.
Jimmy Breslin

9.There's no business like show business.
Irving Berlin


10. Wooing the press is an exercise roughly akin to picnicking with a tiger. You might enjoy the meal, but the tiger always eats last.
Maureen Dowd


11.  A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus

Sasi's quote :  Iam Sorry Mr.Albert Camus, if you see the telugu media, probably you might change your decision. They have freedom thtsy they are bad.


Lets come to the point... The discussions that are going on the channels are:

TV9:   
Discussion on :  Mahishasura is a dalit king.

Mahakavi Sree Sree

Mahakavi Sri Sri as he is populary know in the Telugu Literary world is the Pen name for Srirangam Srinivasa Rao. He thoughtfully took the "Sri" from his first and last names to come up with Sri Sri. The man who went on to say that this ERA was his (as far as Telugu Literature was concerned), proved every bit of those words and indeed gave a new look to the modern Telugu Language.



Here is what K.V.Ramana Reddy had to say about Sri Sri:



Sri Sri was by no means a unique phenomenon but a rare, highly gifted product of his times, especially the hungry thirties. Having retained some amount of romanticist legacy both in diction and neo-classicist a'la Viswanatha, he very soon discovered his own mighty poetic expression. In a way contemporaneous with the Communist movement, its birth and growth, he also became the leading light among lesser poets such as Pendyala Lokanatham, Garimella Satyanarayana and Settipalli Venkataratnam. Soon he could attain full floated and unbounded expression.



Without least hesitation, Sri Sri can be mentioned as a master of poetic diction. Not only that, we could even see him revealing in skillful sound patterns conveying powerful and meaningful slices of life as lived by the poor and the wretched. His knowledge of versification is deep which is marked by rhythm rhymings recalling Swinburne whose "Songs Before Sun-Rise" impressed him early in life.



Though conversant with all modern trends such as Dadaism, Surrealism, Expressionism and Existensialism, his inclination towards Surrealism is more pronounced. But these were only passing phases which failed to strike root in the soil of Telugu literature. But these trends enfranchised Telugu literature by familiarising the Telugu reading public with glimpses of the western culture. No doubt it was degenerate in nature but relevant to the western context.



Sri Sri is an acknowledged and splendid alchemist who created superb and marvellous originals in Telugu; absorbing Easter and Western poetic influences. In this context mention should be made of Nazrul Islam, Harindranath Chattopadhyaya in Bengall Gurazada to a great extent, Kavikondala and also Sistla to some extent in Telugu; Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Paul Eluard, Emile Verhaeren Louis Aragon in France; Mayakovsky in Russia; James Joyce, Dylan Thomas and E.A Poe in English. Hence it is but natural that Sri Sri's poetry possesses universal essence.



Sri sri himself admitted that in those times his knowledge of Marxism was not significant. But owing to suffering in and around himself he could acquire an understanding of it. He also developed an emotional attachement towards communism. Hence he could render its message into the most inspiring poetry e.g. 'I OWE'. He was deeply influenced by the Spanish civil war in his soul though he did not explicitly put into poem. it is evident that Sri Sri did not stop hating general Franco, the arch enemy of Communism until the last breath of his life. Having presaged the advent of World War II, he longed for the world of peace, plenty and Universal brotherhood not of Utopian but of proletarian or Marxist.



Sri Sri always stood by the cause of fighting masses not only in India but also of Ireland, Poland, Czech, China, Southern Africa, Zulus, and Hottentots. Probably no other Indian poet either before or after Sri Sri is marked by such a unique and universally valid poetry of the highest and most powerful variety.



Though trained up in the school of Romanticism he altogether opened new vistas as early as 1933. Trenchant in a tone, militant in mood, buoyant in spirit he was neither a lotus-eater nor a day-dreamer but a down to earth realist tinged with revolutionary romanticism.



In 1937 and 1940 he dealt only with general themes without stressing here and now. But in 1950s and afterwards he rid himself of adolescent nationalist illusions as well as the wishy-washy tearful and weak-kneed progressivism. Hence Sri Sri's view point in his own words is "realist- internationalist" but not "nationalist-idealist". His modest claim that there were only "Progressivism" in Mahaprasthanam with an iota of "revolutionism", it was the latter which marked him out for Par excellence.



More so after 1967 i.e., from Khadgasristhi his message as well as music were meant for mankind in its onward march to the fulfilmetn of its historic destiny.



THIS WAS by KVR in Kavali, on Feb 10th 1983.

Vemana Satakalu, Sumati Satakalu On Request by my Brother





Vemana is one of the most popular and beloved poets in Telugu language. His intellect, simplicity and naturalness of expression, and originality render him special to all the Telugus, rich or poor, literate or illiterate. There is controversy over when and where Vemana lived. After a lot of research and debate, scholars established that he was born in a farmer’s family and lived in the 17th century– probably born in 1652–and passed away in the early decades of the 18th century, as suggested by the British civil servant and Telugu literary savant, C.P. Brown He did not disclose his family name. Worshipper of Siva, he must be a jangam (a member of the sudra sect, usually Saivaite, but also largely dissenter of the traditional religion). Many of the poems were supposed to be composed in the latter half of the 17th century. Based on the dialect and idiom used in the verses, it is suggested that Vemana belonged to Gandikota in Kandavolu (present Kurnool) district or Kondavedu in Cuddapah (Kadapa) district in theRayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh.



Not much is known about his life. As the writings of a poet are largely autobiographical and reflections of his life, some extrapolations were made regarding Vemana’s life story from his poetry. One such compilation is that of Dr. N. Gopi, which says that Vemana must have led a care-free life, become a leader among his friends and educated himself through interactions with temple priests and village heads and understood the good and bad of the society from experience but got immersed more in worldly vices, including getting infatuated with prostitutes. But subsequently, he realized his immorality, got fed up with his base pursuits and when he wanted to correct himself, the society despised him. So he renounced the world and became a sanyasi (ascetic) and poured out his experiences in the poems spontaneously. His original name could not be established, as he dropped his family name calling himself simply Vema or Vemana, which signifies a loom in Sanskrit. In course of time he came to be widely known as yogi Vemana.



A good and pious person is generally ignored by the society. Yogi Vemana is no exception! Among the scholars who brought Vemana to light is C.P. Brown, who approached Telugu language through Vemana. He collected manuscripts of Vemana (talapatras: palm-leaves) from Machilipatnam, Vizag, Nellore, Guntur, Cuddapah, Madras, etc., got them compiled and printed Verses of Vemana for the first time in 1824. Subsequently many versions of Vemana’s poems were printed; some written by others were also assigned to him. Today there is a book, Vemana Padyamulu (Vemana’s Poems), compiled by Sri B.V.N. Sastry, published by Gollapudi Viraswamy and Sons, Rajahmundry, consisting of 3253 poems. Whether all of them are by Vemana or not is controversial. While dealing with this, eminent scholars like Komarraju Lakshmana Rao, C.R. Reddy, Vanguru Subbarao, Veturi Prabhakara Sastry, Bandaru Tammayya, Rallapalli Ananta Krisna Sarma, Narla Venkateswara Rao, and Arudra projected Vemana in a new perspective. Brown himself translated Vemana into English in prose form. Vemana has been translated into other Indian languages. Self–confidence is a notable feature in the psychological makeup of Vemana. He believes that he is a poet with a mission to expose the social evils rampant in his time and seeks to use his poetry as an instrument of social awareness and possibly, social change. As C.R. Reddy wrote to R.A.K. Sarma, ‘‘Vemana is an original genius... His very simplicity and naturalness hide a most perfect art.’’ The thought and connections between lines are at times abstruse, while the language used is quite familiar. Vemana made extensive use of day-to-day experiences (events, and animate and inanimate objects around him) to illustrate his thoughts and feelings. His is a powerful mind searching for the light of truth.



Vemana is a vedantin (philosopher). There are both mystic insights and moral tenets in his poems. The poems are chiefly of three classes: satirical, moralreligious, and mystical. The satire is not personal or aimed at any one individually. It is about the contemporary state of affairs and the evil customs prevalent in the society. Its varied expressions are in the form of exhortations. Whatever Vemana conveyed about personal life, society or philosophy are applicable or valid even today, which speaks for his in–depth understanding of basic human instincts and tendencies, his clarity of thought and expression. Most of his verses are composed extempore (asuvuga) in ataveladi metre, consisting of four lines, the fourth one being a refrain (makutam) in a majority of the poems. The meaning and purpose of the refrain are also controversial, but it is the ‘signature’ of Vemana. The meaning the poet wants to convey is complete in the first three lines, but the poem is and reads incomplete without the refrain. Vemana is part of the folklore throughout the Telugu country. Hence the saying, ‘There is no one who does not get wet in rain, and no one who does not know Vemana’s poems’. His feelings and thoughts excel language. He does not fit into the frame of his time. Vemana is a people’s poet, a universal poet. He is for change: he rebels against the evil forces and practices in the society. His weapon in the fight is reason. Humanity is his religion and man is his God.



Translation from one language-context into another is not easy, especially when the culture-context is also different. Our aim has been to keep the translation as close to the original as possible without distorting the meaning of the original. As Brown said in his preface to the 1824 edition of Verses of Vemana, “The terse closeness of expression sometimes renders them difficult to translate with elegance, but such passages exemplify the manly force of a language that in the common dialect is often weak and verbose.” This challenge we encountered at many places in our translation. Brown’s Telugu-English dictionary was of immense help to us.



The poetry of Vemana, which is closed to generations of children, should be made available to them. This can be only through translation as the probability of their learning Telugu and reading and understanding Vemana in the original is almost nil. Not long ago, in a joint family system, grandmothers and mothers used to quote from ancient texts including, or rather even more so, Vemana, which at a later stage in life was helpful for them to tread the right path in social interaction, serving as a guide to moral conduct and helping them keep proper balance in life. But today families are becoming nuclear and even atomic and more and more children are forced to learn the ‘art of living’ by themselves. We hope that this translation will be of help to them in learning this art. The makutam (refrain) has been subject to varied and occasionally subjective interpretations. Some have even suggested alternatives to the popular, widely known refrain, Vishvadabhirama vinuravema. There have been several apocryphal stories about a person called Abhirama himself, but they do not stand critical scrutiny. The possible meaning of the refrain could be: Beloved of the All Giver, Vema, listen.



As a keen and critical observer of men and matters around, Vemana was concerned with the evil practices, the meaningless religious rituals, the eroding moral values and the hold of selfishness and hypocrisy in all activities during his time. A few examples of the timeless truths embodied in his verses are: Recognition of good and bad: The milk of a cow even in a small quantity is sufficient; why plenty of donkey’s milk? Food served with love, in a morsel, is enough. Love is what makes giving good. Noble people: The noble one speaks softly, like gold, unlike the mean who makes much noise, like brass.



If there is one virtuous person in a family, the whole family will be respected. It is like having a sandalwood tree in a big forest whereby the entire forest smells like sandalwood. Vicious persons: Even if we feed the neem sapling with milk, it won’t lose its bitterness; so also a vicious person will ever remain spiteful. Anger: Through anger, one’s goodness gets reduced; and if anger is kept under control, all wishes will be fulfilled. Ways of the world: The village officer knows who the liar is; the Lord knows who the Truth teller is; and the wife knows her gluttonous husband. This reveals the keen observation of the poet.



Treatment of the enemy: If even an enemy, fit to be killed, is caught, he should not be harmed; it is enough to do him good and set him free. Need for charity: Amassing wealth, without giving; saving money, without eating properly; are like the bee, collecting the honey, to be claimed by a stranger.



Domestic disharmony: The strife within the family, a grit in the shoe, and a humming bee around the ear, a speck in the eye and a thorn in the leg are sources of immeasurable annoyance.



Caste chastised: The undue importance given to one’s caste is severely criticized by the poet in several of his verses. Why blame mala again and again? Isn’t the blood in his body the same? Is there a caste without inherent light?



The poet, like Charles Dickens, made ample use of satire touched with humor, which is directed towards instruction. For example, he talks about a miser, who is like a barren cow. If one goes to milk it, it will kick one’s teeth off, but does not yield milk. In his satire, he does not spare Lord Visnu Himself, when he wonders, why should the Lord lying on the celestial ocean of milk desire the milk in the village of cowherds (Repalle) and concludes that the property of others is ever sweet (tasty).



The poetry of Vemana is full of such priceless gems of worldly wisdom, which continue to serve readers as signposts in the journey towards social harmony and even spiritual realization.
