Telugodu

This blog is aobut some ramblings,my take on anything related to telugu. Please feel free to leave a comment on anything I post.
As the saying goes .... If two tamils meet in anyplace outside tamilnadu, they speak in tamil .If two malayalees meet outside Kerala, they speak in Malayalam. If two telugus meet outside Andhra, guess what they speak in English. Do we call it getting blended with new environment or ignoring the roots?...the answer is entirely personal I believe.
Late N.T.R started the concept of teluguvadi atmagouravam......though it was started for political reasons, it did have an impact on our sense of self respect.
There are lakhs( may be millions ) of telugus who live outside andhra but rarely do other people know about our culture and our language.
For northindians anyone who doesnt speak hindi is madarasee... Is it recognition for tamilians or underrecognition for other languages?
There was a scene in movie chakde india where the girl from andhra says there is as much difference in andhrite and madarasee as of biharee and delhiite. Does it mean the understanding of people is changing or the director is better educated about different cultures?
thats it for now.
cheyyetti jaikottu telugoda :)
