Bye now ....

May 16th - D Day -

Yesterday I was completely glued to my desktop watching TV9 (Yes, I am still in Melbourne) .......

The increase in percentage of voting, entry of Chiru into politics were the reasons for the curiousity ......

But contrary to what many predicitied, entry of Chiru has not affected Congress, if not benefitted them ....... One thing that was surprising in this elections was that movie glamour did not work at all ...... Neither for TDP nor PRP ...... Mahakootami was considered as a strength in elections, but turned otherwise for both TDP and TRS ....

On a national level, Singh is King again squashing lot of issues BJP thought would favour them like securiy issues post 26/11 ....... The reason I think is because Indian voter has matured ....... Also reason could be that major vote bank is between age group 18 - 35 .......

Happy that Dr. Manmohan Singh is PM for next 5 years and welcome to Rahul Gandhi ...... Hope PM would cleanse his cabinet this time ...... His economic policies, I hope, would definitely help India in these tough economic period ....

On state level, its a mixed feeling as to what the next 5 years holds for us ...... May be not that much for NRI's like me, but whats in for state ... Definitely happy about results in Telangana .... Everyone who supports Samaikyandhra would be elated by this results .....

Hopefully this term would be good compared to last time on both state and national levels .....

Youth in Politics - “If you think you can, you are right!”

Its been nearly two months now that in the backdrop of the Mumbai terror attacks, when terror was seen precariously that close, there was lot of talk, anger, frustration among public who felt helpless and violated that they eventually have brought down the leaders and many eminent people have raised concern about how educated youth should come into politics because there is a need for new force.

Politics is undoubtedly the biggest service to the nation. A lot of people believe its dirty, or atleast the people in the system are. So when a person voices his opinion that there needs to be a change in politics, the immediate reaction would be "Why dont you be the change you want to see in the world?"

No matter how badly anyone feels there needs to be a change in our system today, its highly difficult to achieve that. It’s because elections in this country are neither fought with passions and policies nor with candlelight processions. The truth is that Indian politics is not fought with ideology, but with muscle power and ruthless rigging in the interiors. Indian politics is a hierarchy of criminals and goons. At the grassroots, a local MLA wins through a bunch of goons. On top of a few such MLAs sits the MP;and on top of such mostly criminal and corrupt MPs sits the Prime Minister. And that a man sitting as the Prime Minster could be a poet, a literary genius, who knows 17 languages or an economist, but the reality is that he sits there because his party has a hierarchy of criminals; and the stronger this criminalisation is at the grassroots level, the tougher it is to defeat them.

Yet we should be hopeful that one day, the youth will come forward and make the difference... But before clean and honest youth can come forward, we need to give the youth the environment to fight on the basis of policies and passion and not on the basis of guns.

The key takeaway from the assembly election results is that the Indian voter should now place a premium on good governance at the local level as it happened in Delhi. Sheila Dikshit was endorsed yet again because the Delhi voter saw in her a hard-working,committed leader in making the national capital a better place to live in. Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Raman Singh won in their respective states, not because they were seen as Hindutva warriors but because they had shown a certain commitment to welfarist schemes and development programmes.

I hope there is a new vote bank out there, a vote bank of furious and articulate people. It is impossible for any politician to ignore this urban voter and rely on the rural masses alone. 26-11 has ensured that the Indian upper middle class emerge from its cocoon of privilege. The voices being heard at the Gateway of India are slowly gathering momentum. Over the debris of the Taj, the Indian elite may finally be coming of age.

Hasyabrahma Jandhyala ........

Pattakulandariki Sankranthi Shubhakankshalu .........

Sankranthi sandarbham ga blog lo emaina post cheddam ani anukuntundaga Sakshi paper lo ivala Jandhyala gari puttina roju ani oka article rasaru ........

Ayanaki vunna lakshala mandi abhimanullo nenu okadni .... Ayana comedy movies ni entha enjoy chesano, Anandabhairavi lanti movies ni kuda anthe haayiga chusanu .......

Cinema lo ayana mark, characters tho ayana chepinche matalu, vati valla
generate ayye hasyam, 25 years taravata kuda gurthupettukunnaru antene aa movies entha classics o ardham chesukovachu .........

Jandhyala garu belongs to that golden era of writers where they were given
considerable amount of appreciation along with other members too .... We are yet to find a writer of that calibre ...........

I think Telugu vadiki basic sarcasm nerpinchindi Jandhyala gari movies emo .....

For instance, Jagadekaveerudu Athilokasundari cinema lo oka dialogue .....
"Manava .... Ikkada amrutham leda"
"Amruthama .... (indicating with his hands)Kotlu dorukutundi patrana?"

Another instance, Akhari Poratam cinema lo ......
"Mee peru"
"Su ... Su ... Sunandamala"
"Ademiti 3 su'lu vunnaya"
"Ledanti okate"
"Naa peru V.Vihari .. rendu v'lu andoyi ... okati intiperu, rendodi vantiperu"
Nothing too pompous or wordy, just the right words to get out a chuckle.

If comedy was his main forte, then there was also another side to his pen which excelled in penning dialogues for many remarkable films like Siri Siri Muvva, Seetamalakshmi, Subhodayam, Sankarabharanam, Saptapadi, Subhalekha, Sagara Sangamam, and finally Aapadbandhavudu, Jandhyala made all of Viswanath's characters his own, imparting them the speak that truly justified their characters.

For example in Sagarasangamam, Kamalhassan's character explains the quality of Raghu's penmanship, Jandhyala uses - "panchaedryiyalnae kaadu, prapanchanni rayila nilipaevadu rushi, rayila padi unna prapanchanni ahalyalaa malichae vaadu manishi".

His association with Music Director Ramesh Naidu and Veturi was the one of the best in industry, creating many poetic songs. His proposed project on Annamayya with ANR didnt take off due to his sudden demise, but they brought out an album called "Annamayya Amrutavarshini", a compilation of 75 tunes from Ramesh Naidu to the already popular Annamayya padalu.

If K.Viswanath was responsible to retrieve values of dying arts in films, so
was Jandhyala in keeping healthy comedy in films. His command over language coupled with sense of humour is and will be a rare and unique thing to achieve for any other writer.

""Ayyaa! prabhuvu vaari vyaakaranamlo truteeya tatpurusha (third person - he, she, it, they) ledu. Macchukki, monna vaarini karichina kukkaki picchi patti chacchindanukondi. nannu karichi nuvvu chacchipoyaavantaaru"

The lady who keeps experimenting with multi-cultural, cross-continental
delicacies, the woman who just cannot shut up about the latest movie that she chanced upon just a few hours ago right from the opening credits till the final Subham credit, the man who wasn't lucky enough to marry a lady who would cook a good meal and croon a good song for him and consequently has no other option but to take matters into his own hands, the gentleman who has a penchant for long walks that usually run for a little over tens of miles, an old man who has an habit of recanting his auto-biography for anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path, the unforunate mother who lost her child very young and so tries to grab on to his memories in other's words and actions, the aspirant poetess with
quite an optimistic bent of mind inspite of the many many refusals and the
reject letters from the publication companies, the middle-aged cop who is
completely besotted with Bandar that he fails to see the better side of any
other city, the door-to-door vacuum-cleaner salesman who enjoys live
demonstration of his product by completely dirtying the place first, detective Panduranga Rao who tries to equate his name to the other famous literary character which goes by the name of James Bond.

All these characters were exisitng in print media (quite a few from famous writer Malladi) before Jandhyala dared to bring them onto celluloid. And the result is known and was owned by everyone.

Pingali Nagendra Rao, the famous writer for Vijaya banner in the erstwhile
golden era of telugu cinema, was famous for coining words and phrases, making them feel and appear as though they were indeed were a part of our language - asmadeeyulu/tasmadeeyulu, alamalam, gilpam. Since Pingali, Jandhyala remains as the only writer who carried forward that tradition and coined a phrase, the famous one being 'Suthi'.

I hope he would be remembered with a smile for his contribution to TeluguCinema as long as it exists.

I will finish off my post with the origin of the word Suthi ......

"Tammudu Bharata, Pitruvaakya paripalana dakshudigaa,
aadina maata tappani oka baadhyata vunna kodukugaa,
prajala samskhemam ellapudu korukune aadarsavantamaina oka raajugaa,
dharmam naalugu paadaala nadapavalsina mugguru tammula annagaa,
nanu aa raajya padavi teesukolenu tammudu, teesukolenu"

"Annayya, raanu ani okka maata chepithe saripodaa, deeniki anta SUTHI enduku"
