Hello friends
somebody asked me a day have you seen goddess saraswathi i said yes. He asked where I said veturi. Yes i say it with full confidence each and every time. He was such a towering personality that my inspiration from him was so high that i cannot say how. His song 'krushi unte manushulu rushulu avutharu' meaning if you do hard work you can become attain state of rishi etc. song after song which made people think , enjoy and realize almost 15000 songs from his pen. UNABLE TO TAKE PART IN HIS FINAL RIGHTS DUE TO INCAPABILITY TO FLY DOWN TO HYDERABAD IS MY LIFE'S WORST LOSS'. Same with singer S.P Balasubrahmanyam who was stuck at USA. I have hated the metal in my body, no bus bookings or trains. Suddenly i had lost the most impressive person in life. Its a loss which can be uncompensated. the words of song ' VENUVAYI VACHANU BHUVANANIKI, GALI NAY POTHANU GAGANANIKI' won him the National award. A simple man who didnot have even a own house of his was having a house in every person's heart. Sir please come back in someway or other for the world needs good people like you sir. More importantly I need you sir.

You are really great to write such a nice article. He was living legend. It is great to see good people like you who value these people. Your presentation is very good and this makes me tell that you are a very good person with a soft heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the over whelming responses and the inspiration you had from his songs. This is what he wanted; people understand and respect Telugu and all the great souls who devoted their lives to Telugu talli. He wanted every Telugu to feel proud of his/her mother tongue and not feel shy of speaking in Telugu. This is such a nice write-up that will inspire others. Veturi's family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.
