Obama’s Words Didn’t Cause the Market Slide This Week

For several months, the market has been heavily manipulated by the Feds and the influential trading firms on Wall Streets. Now what? Looks like on Friday the market averages retreated to a technical support level (holding the 11-month uptrend line.) The markets may be due for a short-term bounce. But I do think that this may be the beginning of another steep slide in the market.




New Found Spine or Mass Wake Up Call?

Banks, bonuses and bailouts – busted? Is this a new found spine for the President? Or, is it a reaction to the wake-up call he got from Massachusetts? Whatever it is, I don’t see the bank executives shivering in their boots.


Chakravarthy Garu Responds to Comments (Restored)

Thank you to all of you who took the time to respond to my note. This is a difficult and emotional issue for all Telugu people and the passion is quite understandable.

MMGL Interview: IIT Ramaiah

Now a days, preparing for IIT starts at kindergarten level. A methodical approach to preparing for IIT was mastered by Sri Ramaiah. He then turned that approach into an educational empire. Students from his coaching institute have the highest success rate at IIT JEE examination, which earned him the title. I met with him during TANA 2007 meeting and conducted this interview.


My Telangana

నేను తెలంగాణావాదినే. నా తెలంగాణ కోసం నేను ఏం చేయడానికైనా సిద్దమే. కానీ ప్రత్యేక, వేర్పాటువాదిని కాదు. నాకు ధమ్ముంది. ఆంద్ర పెత్తనం నా ముందు పనిచేయదు. ఆంధ్రవాడి మీద నేనే ఎదురు పెత్తనం చేయగల చేవ ఉంది. నేను మీసం మెలేసి.. తొడగొట్టి మరీ చెబుతా… తెలంగాణ మీల్స్ అని ఆంద్రలో హోటల్ పెట్టి మరీ అమ్మగలను.నా తెలంగాణను ఈ లుచ్చాల చేతిలో పెట్టడం నాకు ఇష్టం లేదు. మరో.. నిజాం పాలన నాకొద్దు. నా తెలుగు జాతి ఉమ్మడి సొత్తుతో ఇద్దరేసి ముఖ్య మంత్రులను.. పదుల సంఖ్యలో మంత్రులను మేపడం.. నా జాతి సొత్తు ఎక్కువమంది నాయకులకు దోచిపెట్టడం నాకు ఏమాత్రం ఇష్టం లేదు.

Why Telugu Land is Called Andhra Pradesh? (Restored)

There is no conspiracy behind calling ourselves Andhras. We all are Andhras, we all are Telingis, and we all are Telugus. The new definition of Andhra to represent Kosta and the new definition of Telangana to represent nine districts of Nizam Telangana is a fabrication of politicians intending to create a wedge between the Telugu tribe.


MMGL 2007-07-20 – The First Show with Phone Calls

Many thanks to Aruna garu from Pittsburgh for being the first ever caller on the show. Since MMGL was the first of its kind – a call-in talk/RJ show for Telugu people around the world, I think Aruna garu has bragging rights to be the pioneering caller for a unique show. [I know, I know. I am bragging, right? Well, I have bragging rights! :)]



Indira Gandhi: The Insecure

By sheer stroke of luck, in 1983 – during the AP Assembly election campaign at the dawn of NTR’s Telugu Desam – I happened to…



Seth Myers on SNL: NBC Kills its Second Wife

When you put right analogies to a story, we all say, “Hmmm. Isn’t that right?” This particular is like that of many daytime soap operas in US. Even better analogy is that it is like a Telugu flick where the hero gets entangled with two wives. How does this drama unfold and how it ends?
