Sirivennela Sitaramasastry ...

Sirivennela Sitaramasastry garu, naa favourite kavi ..... Naa first feeling is ayana kavi, patala rachayta kadu .....
There will be only a few people whom you find awesome because of their work, attitude, phiosophy, lifestyle, behaviour ... Anni rakalu ga nannu prabhivitam chesina vyakthi Sirivennela Sitaramasastry garu ...

As a film buff, I watch all movies, pretty much .. For some movies you feel good, some movies make you think, some movies you just get amused, entertained ... But in all of his songs in various movies, he imparts a knowledge or you feel great for his poetic representation of certain feel ... Intha mandi patalu rase lyricists vundaga, idhi ayanake ela sadhyam ayyindi ... Telugu lo oka lyricist ki fans kachitam ga Sitaramasastry garike ekkuva, atleast ee generation ki ... when I think why, I guess there are many reasons ... chala mandi ki ages nunchi vastuna sampradayalni nachina, nachaka poyina question chese dhairyam vundadu. Sastry garu, I think, was the first one to do that through his songs. To think from the grassroots level on all issues and to question preconceived thoughts and opinions that are blindly followed for ages is one of the most attractive features in his writing.

ayana rase padalu, do serve the purpose of the actual song, but I guess going that mile extra takes the song to enitrely different level ... If you recollect lyrically great songs in last 15-20 years, I am sure most of them will be by Sastry garu ...
I dont think different different emotions ni ayana antha baga varinchina vallu evaraina vunnaru ani ...

First love - "Merupu ni tolichinukuni kalagalipi chudalani, evariki anipinchina chudachu naa cheliya ni"

Anni patalu vini, vati tarkanni ardham chesukune praytnam taravata, famous director Krishnavamsi oka interview lo cheppinattu "Oka rushi, shapa vashattu manashula madhya tirugutunara" ani anipistundi ...

Naaku nachina two lines tho I will end the post ...
"dari dhati orakalu vese ye nadhi kaina telisinda, tanalo ee oravadi penchina toli chinuku edhi ante"
"kontha kalam nela kocham athidi layi vundi vellaka, kotalaina kompalaina evi sthirasthi kadu ga"
