Great Song by Seetharama Sastry Garu 

chinuku taDiki chiguru toDugu puvvammaa
evari kanula chilipi kalavu nuvvammaa

Are u the flower  that blooms with the damp of the rain droplet?

 Whose eyes' pranky dream are thee?

muvvale manasupaDu paadamaa

oohale uliki paDu praayamaa

Your feet are the ones at noorpur (ghunguru) love to dangle from

 Are u the prime of youth that awakens fantasies.

 hindOLamlaa saagE andaala selayEramma

or The brook that flows mellifluously like the raag Hindolam(malkauns in Hindustani)

aamani madhuvanamaa aa  aamani madhuvanamaa

Are thee orchid in spring?

pasiDi vEkuvalu panDu vennelalu pasitanaalu paruvaala velluvalu

kalipi ninnu malichaaDo Emo brahma


did the creator mould  you with a mix of golden day breaks, ripe auro around moon, childishness, and tides of youthful lusture.

 pachchanaina vari chEla sampadalu achcha telugu muripaala sangatulu

kaLLa mundu nilipaave muddugummaa


Your presence brings to sight a  sea of rippling greenery  of paddy fields, the original Telugu sonourous welfare questions(notes)...

paala kaDali keraTaala vanTi 

nii lEta aDugu tana yadanu meeTi nElamma pongenammaa

Earth is blushing when your tender feet (which are like the ripples of Milky ocean Milky way) strike her bosom.

 aaa aagani sambaramaa aa aagani sambaramaa

You are that unstoppable fest.

varamulanni ninu venTa beTTukoni evari inTa deepaalu peTTamani

aDugutunavE kundanaala bomma


The boons along with you, are asking to   bring light to whose home?

 Sirula raaNi nI chEyi paTTi Sree hariga maarunani raasipeTTi

yE varuni jaatakam vEchi unnadammaa
When you  the queen of fortunes, Laxmi joins him  to change  him to Vishnu, who know which youngster's horoscope is waiting to change like that?

 

// in the Indian marriage rituals, the bride groom is seen as an embodiment of Vishu and the bride a form of Laxmi.

 annamayya SRungaara keertanala varNanalaku aakaaramaina bangaaru chilakavammaa

You are the golden parrot,   giving shape to (personifying)  Annamayya's  ornamentations Romantic verses.

 Kaamuni suma Seramaa aa Kaamuni suma Seramaa

You must be Cupid's arrow....

Anglicized Seetarama Sastry Poem: Never Ever succumb to Defeat (original Telugu)

Image
An attempt to unveil the richness  Seetarama   Sastry ’s Telugu poetry to those who cannot relish in its first breath, thought it lacks direct beauty Telugu* has to offer, it is original sweet strength;  To global readers  with a different native languages but who transact in English (the melting pot/broth of global thoughts) this translation will try to ‘export’ the emotional waves (for which language is no bar) invited to relish the fresh perspective of  the poet,  inspiring words to  the struggling.  to those of us (displaced native Telugu speakers) who are loosing touch with the language and some  next generation for whom it’s their Grandparent's  language 'back home'. The limitations makes such translations make'em prosaic  but nevertheless it can trigger subtle thought waves in the reader that resonate with those of Poet's: Inspiration to the Struggling Never ever succumb to defeat,(eppudu oppu...

Truth behind Satyam

I missed an ‘opportunity’ to see Ramalingaraju in person, when I was in Cisco, last year where he received from John Chambers a ‘package of support worth $100 million’ for EMRI he initiated, I even bought a new blazer to attend the Cisco Campus inauguration, by revered former (my kind of president) Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. But small time employees of my stature were whisked away from attending in person due to ‘security reasons’ and invited to see the event only on homegrown Cisco IPTV. No use of the new blazer. Despite such parallel processing(scheming) in mind since ‘several years’ the good thing is that he kept (had to, kind of atonement?) the EMRI kept going, the first 911 equivalent. He should be acknowledged to have dared to dream such a project in India. I was driving past a remote village towards Jiddu Krishnamurthy school 150 miles away from Bangalore, in a rest area, I saw huge ambulance parked and bunch of lads hanging around, we stopped there for tea break. The peasants said th...
