MMGL 2010-01-15 Discussing Telangana with the Right Tone 1 of 2

During this conversation, I told the caller, Vijay garu that the formation of AP was prior to the Gentleman’s agreement. This is factually incorrect and I had to retract that assertion in an editorial insert. The reality of conducting a live show is that mistakes do happen for a variety of reasons. Regardless, I sincerely regret misstating the chronology of events surrounding one of the fundamental issues of dispute surrounding the demand for a separate Telangana state.

Welcome, Chakravarthy Garu

We both believe that the facts, historical or contemporary, do not support the argument for division among Telugu people. This Telangana separatist movement is fueled more by hate-mongering by vested interest groups than it has any factual basis. When when some facts are valid, they are either accidental, or twisted – but definitely not due to evil-design by the people of one region. FYI, Chakravarthy hails from Nagonda disrtict and I hail from the neighboring Guntur district.

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.

[Via BBC] Pakistan was ‘humiliated’ by exclusion in IPL: A Pakistani parliamentary delegation has cancelled a visit to India amid a growing diplomatic row over the next Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament. At an auction earlier this week no Pakistani players were chosen to play in the Twenty20 competition in March amid fears they may […]

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.

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.

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 see Smt. Indira Gandhi from less than 50 yards away. While her motorcade passed us, she was waving at the crowds from inside her car. Despite my personal dislike for […]
