EVV జంధ్యాల

భక్తుల కష్టాలు తీర్చి తీర్చి దేవుడికి విసుగు వచ్చింది. అలాంటి ఒక రోజు "శ్రీ వారికి ప్రేమలేఖ" చూసి సుత్తి వీరభద్ర రావు కి వీర అభిమాని అయ్యాడు. ఆ తర్వాత ఆయనవే కొన్ని సినిమాలు చూసి ఇలాంటి వాడు నా పక్కనుంటే నా కష్టాలు సగం తీరుతాయి కదా అని 30 June 1988 నాడు ఆయనని తీసుకెళ్ళాడు.

అసలు నాదేమి ఉంది ఇది మా హాస్యబ్రహ్మ జంధ్యాల వారి పనితనం అని మన సుత్తి వారు అనగానే తన పదవికి ఎసరు పేట్టేత్తున్నాడనో లేక అయన పనితనం నచ్చిందో కాని ఆయనని లాక్కు వెళ్ళిపోయాడు.

అప్పటినుంచి ఏదో EVV గారు అలా అప్పుడప్పుడు మచ్చుకొక్కటి "ఎవడి గోల వాడిదే", "బెండు అప్పారావు RMP" అంటుంటే చూసి ఆనందపడిపోయం. బహుశా మన పాపాలు తట్టుకోలేక ఆ పైనఉన్నవాడికి శిరోభారం  ఎక్కువ అయినదో లేక వీరి బహు గొప్ప హాస్యం నచ్చినదో ఇప్పుడు అయనని కూడా తీసుకెళ్ళిపోయాడు.

EVV గారు సుదీర్ఘకాలం జంధ్యాల గారి వద్ద హాస్యానికి తన బాష్యం కనిపెట్టి మనకి కితకితలు పెట్టారు EVV. అప్పుల అప్పారావు, ఆ వక్కటి అడక్కు, హలో బ్రదర్ లాంటి సినిమాలు ఇప్పటికి మనల్ని నవ్విస్తాయి, కవ్విస్తాయి. కొన్ని సీరియస్ సినిమాలు చేసి ఆడవాళ్ళకు  దగ్గర అయినా కాని వాటిలో కూడా తన హాస్యాన్ని జొప్పించి మార్కులు కొట్టేయడం కూడా ఆయనకే చెల్లింది. చూడటానికి అన్ని ఒకేలా అనిపించినా ప్రతి సినిమాని ENJOY  చేసాము, చివరగా చేసిన కట్టి కాంతారావుతో సహా. PAISA VASOOL MAHARAJ

మొత్తానికి సున్నినతమైన కామెడి కి పెద్ద పీట వేసే వాళ్ళంతా వెళ్ళిపోయారు. మంచి హాస్య చిత్రాలకు EVV గారితో శుభం కార్డు పడింది అని నా ఫీలింగ్.

Jai Ho

AR Rahman nominated for another Oscar for his ORIGINAL MUSIC for Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. This is based on a true story of A mountain climber, Aron Ralston, who is trapped under a boulder while canyoneering alone near Moab, Utah and resorts to desperate measures in order to survive.

Danny Boyle and AR Rahman won couple of Oscars (8) for their earlier film, So does their magic work again. His work is competing with 'How to Train Your Dragon' by John Powell, 'Inception' by Hans Zimmer and 'The King's Speech' by Alexandre Desplat.

So Wish Rahman sir JAI HO and keep your fingers crossed till Feb. 27, 2011

షికాగో ప్రయాణం

మొత్తానికి "ఛి"కాగో వచ్చాము. అసలు బయల్దేరినప్పటి నుంచి నన్ను ఒక అనుమానం పీడిస్తోంది. ఇది షికాగోనా ఛికాగోనా. ఇంగ్లీష్ వారు దీని షికాగో అంటారు అంటా కానీ అసలు ఇంగ్లీష్ లో chi అని వ్రాస్తే ఛి కదా మరి ఇది షి ఎలా అయింది. నా ఐడియా ప్రకారం మన వాళ్ళు ఛి ఛి అంటుంటే ఇబ్బంది పడి మార్చుకున్నారేమో.  అసలు ఇంగ్లీష్ మాటలు ఇలా ఎందుకు ఉంటాయి అనేది నా మొదటి నుంచి అర్థం కాదు. మొన్నటికి మొన్న ఒక మనిషి పేరు తప్పు పలికాను, ఎం ఫీల్ అయ్యాడో ఏమో. నా పేరు ని సరిగ్గా పలికేవారు లేరు అనుకోండి. మీకో విచిత్రం చెప్పనా - ఇక్కడి వారు మన పేరు ఎలా పలకాలో తెల్సుకొని ప్రయత్నిస్తారు. కానీ ఇక్కడ 2-3 years నుంచి ఉంటున్న మన so called NRI లు మాత్రం మన పేరు కావాలని ఉచ్చరించే తీరు ఎంత విసిగిస్తుందో. సర్లే వదిలేయండి. 

మొత్తానికి షికాగో వచ్చాము డ్రైవ్ చేసుకుంటూ. న్యూ జెర్సీ నుంచి షికాగో 15  గంటల దూరం (830 miles - 1350 kms)అందునా మంచు, ఎలా అబ్బ అనుకున్నాం కానీ పర్లేదు. బానే ఉన్నాయి రోడ్లు. మొన్న నా స్నేహితుడు అన్నాడు ఇది ఇండియా కాదు అలసిపోవడానికి అన్నాడు. లవంగం గారు మీరు ఉర్కోండి రోడ్ ఎక్కడైనా ఒక్కటే ౧౫ గంటలు ఎలా డ్రైవ్ చెయ్యాలి అన్నాను కానీ నిన్న తెల్సింది. హైవె ఎక్కాక అసలు ఇబ్బంది లేదు. భలే ఉన్నాయి చుట్టూ కొండలు, ఇండియా లో ఐతే ఆపి ఫొటోస్ తీసుకోవడం అది చేసేవాళ్ళం కానీ ఇక్కడ cops  అదేనండి పోలీసులు పట్టుకుంటారు అని ఉరకున్నాం.

షికాగో కి న్యూ జెర్సీ కి చాలా తేడ ఉంది అని మొదటి చూపులో తెల్సింది, అవి ఏంటి ఎలా అనేది రేపటి టపా లో...

Triple suns over China

Later this week there was an illusion created by SUN showing 3 SUN's

The illusion, deemed a legitimate astronomical phenomenon, is created by the sun being shadowed by two smaller twins and making an image of three suns. The effect is known by experts as the 'phantom sun' and unofficially called an 'ice halo'. It generally appears at this time of year when ice crystals create high clouds.

Fortunately, for astronomers and citizens of Changchun alike, the clouds have formed perfectly in order to produce reflected sunlight and the curious 'triple sun'. It also produces an arched rainbow-effect that circles the sun and two surrounding smaller suns. These are both one tenth of the size of the sun itself.

sounds strange right...thats what is nature, anything can happen...any time

I LOVE VIJAYAWADA. Welcome back to my Blog

చాలా రోజులనుంచి మా ఆవిడ నా బ్లాగ్ స్టార్ట్ చెయ్యమని అడుగుతుంటే  ఏ టాపిక్ ఐతే బావుటుంది అని ఆలోచిస్తున్నా. అనుకోకుండా  రాత్రి ఒక మంచి ఐడియా తట్టింది. నన్ను కన్న నేల - నేను ఉన్న ఈ గడ్డ, ఈ రెంటి గురించి రాస్తే ఎలా ఉంటుంది అని.

చాలా మంది NEWYORK  ని ముంబై తో పోలుస్తారు కాని Newyork  కి మన బెజవాడ కి చాలా పోలికలు ఉన్నాయి, ఎలా అంటారా - చూడండి.

• Newyork లానే విజయవాడ కూడా బిజినెస్ capital 
• Hudson నది Newyork అందాన్ని తెస్తే మన కృష్ణమ్మా హొయలు మనకు కనువిందు చేస్తాయి.
• వారి స్వాతంత్ర్యానికి గుర్తుగా FRANCE వారు అమెరికా వారికి ఇచ్చిన STATUE OF LIBERTY ఇక్కడ సొగసులు పొతే, మనల్ని పాలించినందుకు గుర్తుగా కాటన్ దొర వారు నిర్మించిన PRAKASAM BARRAGE  ఠీవిగా నిల్చుంటుంది. 
• సినిమాలు నిర్మించేది హాలీవుడ్ లోనే అయినా వాటి  బిజినెస్ అంతా  Newyork లోనే జరుగుతుంది. అలానే హైదరాబాద్ లోనే కాక ప్రపంచమంతా నిర్మించే  తెలుగు సినిమాల బిజినెస్ విజయవాడలోనే జరుగుతుంది కాదంటారా?
• అమెరికాలోని capital పట్టణం పేరు చెప్పు అనగానే  Newyork అంటారు చాలామంది. అలానే విజయవాడ కూడా, కాని అది మా జిల్లా సెంటర్ కాదు.
•  Newyork పట్టణం ఎప్పుడు గలగలా పారే నదిలా ఉంటుంది, విజయవాడ కుడా.
•  Newyork lincoln tunnel & hudson tunnel ప్రతిభ అబ్బురపరిస్తే మన చిట్టినగర్ సొరంగం కూడా నేనేమి తక్కువ తినలేదు సుమీ అంటుంది. చాలాకాలం అసలు కొండని ఎందుకు తవ్వారు అని నేను ఆలోచిస్తూ ఉండిపోయ. మరో విషయం విజయవాడ లో ఆ సొరంగం ఎప్పుడు కట్టారో మీకు తెలుసా. నాకు తెలిదు, వీలైతే కనుకొన్ని చెప్పండే.
• NEWYORK US లో మూడో పెద్ద state ఐతే విజయవాడ AP లో మూడో పెద్ద పట్టణం.
• ఎక్కడెక్కడి వాళ్లనో NEWYORK నగరం ఆదుకొని కడుపులో దాచుకుంటే మన దుర్గమ్మ తల్లి మనందర్నీ కాపాడి చల్లగా చూస్తుంది. 
•  HUDSON నది మధ్యలో ELLIS ISLAND మంచి tourist స్పాట్ ఐతే మనకు Bhavani Island ఉంది కదా.

ఇన్ని పోలికలు ఉన్నాయి కాబట్టి NEWYORK  నగరాన్ని మన విజయవాడతో పోల్చడం తప్పులేదు. ఏమంటారు. NEWYORK లో ఎంత తిరిగినా, చూడాల్సింది ఇంకా ఏదో మిగిలే ఉంటుంది అంటా, అలానే విజయవాడ లో ఎన్ని రోజులు ఉన్నాకలవాల్సిన వాళ్ళు ఇంకా ఉంటూనే ఉంటారు. 

I LOVE VIJAYAWADA.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

An interesting line written at the back of a Biker's T Shirt:
" If you are able to see this, Please tell me that my galfriend has fallen off"

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Most Relationships fail not because of the absence of love..

Love is always present..

Its just that,

One loves too much,

and

The other loves too many,

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Employee: Boss, Now I have got married..! Please increase my salary..!

BOSS: Factory is not responsible for accidents occuring outside the company..!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Philosophy of life

At the begining of married life, every gal treats her husband as GOD,

Later on somehow the alphabets get reversed..!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

What is Fear?

Fear is the Deep, Wrenching feeling in your stomach When pages of your book still smell new and Just few hours left for your exams..!


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

After reading the form filled by an applicant..

The employer said: " WE do have an opening for you..!

Applicant: What is it?

Interviewer: Its called the "door..!"

A sad love story

A sad love story of an Engineering student..........

A guy was deeply in love with his classmate. One day he proposed her by saying that he loved her a lot.... But she was angry and refused and threatened him that she'd complain to the Principal if he ever bothers her again.

One day the girl borrowed a text book from that boy and wrote a message "I love you too, I'm sorry to hurt you the other day. if u've forgiven me, please come and talk to me and never leave me." in that book.

But the guy never talked to her.

4 yrs went away and nothing has happened..

.

.

.
Moral of the story:

Engineering boys never open their books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Vijay Mallya Takes LPG Distribution............????????????

JUST FOR FUN

IPL EXAMS

Cricket has reached exciting levels with IPL, so we suggest infusing the
same thing into exams ...

Some suggestions:- Last one is the best.....!!!!!

1. Reduce exam duration to 1 hr and marks to 50.

2. Introduce strategic break after 30 minutes.

3. 1st 15 minutes power play that is no invigilator in the exam hall.
(Everyone will love this...!)

4. Introduce fair play awards.

5. If any wrong question is asked you can give your own answer for the next
question .......FREE HIT........ !!!!!!!!!



.

The last and the best.

6. Cheer girls to cheer for every correct answer written....!!!

Hhhmmm...KALAVARAMAYE MADILO

కలవరమాయే మదిలో, ఈ పేరు వినగానే నాకు నిజంగానే ఏదో కలవరం కలిగింది. ఇలాంటి titleki నిజంగానే ఎక్స్పెక్టేషన్స్ ఉంటాయి. అందులో జాగ్రత్తగా ఆచి తూచి అడుగులు వేస్తున్న స్వాతి, హిట్ కోసం ఎదురు చూస్తున్న కమల్, బాలీవుడ్ ఒక విశిష్టత కలిగిన Vikram Gokhale, వీళ్ళని చూసి చాలా అంచనాలతో సినిమా కి వెళ్లి బోర్లా పడ్డాను.

విషయానికి వస్తే అసలు ఇంత మంచి టైటిల్ కి సినిమా కి సంబంధం ఏంటో దర్శకుడే చెప్పాలి. నాకైతే ఏమి కనిపించలేదు. అసలు ఇది ఎ రకం సినిమానో అర్థం కాలేదు. ఒక మంచి ఆలోచనని సరిగ్గా ఆచరణ లో పెట్టలేక పోయాడు సతీష్ కసేట్టి.

Kshunanga చూస్తే ఈ సినిమాలో మూడు అంశాలు ఉన్నాయి. హీరో హీరోయిన్ల మధ్య ప్రేమ, గురువు - శిష్యురాలి బంధం, తల్లి తండ్రులను కలపడం. ఇలాంటి కథ అల్లాలి అంటే చాల ధైర్యం కావాలి. ఎక్కడ ఈ మూడు పాయింట్స్ కి అన్యాయం జరగకూడదు. అలా అని సినిమా ని లాగకూడదు. ఇక్కడ జరిగిన మిస్టేక్ అదే.

1. అసలు హీరో హీరోయిన్స్ ని అంత సేపు విడిగా ఉంచడం ఎందుకు అనేది అర్థం కాదు. ముందే కలిపేస్తే సబ్జెక్టు లో ఎమన్నా నష్టం ఉందా?
2. పోనీ ప్రేమ కథ కింద తీసుకుందాం అంటే వాళ్ళ మధ్య సెకండ్ హాఫ్ లో ఎన్ని సీన్స్ ఉన్నాయి?
3. సంగీత ప్రధానమైన సినిమా అనుకుందాం అనుకుంటే ఎక్కడ ఒక్క సరైన కీర్తన వినపడిందా?
4. అసలు శిష్య రికం చెయ్యడానికి ఒక్క పాట అయిన నేర్చుకునట్టు చూపించాలేదు.
5. ఫ్లాష్ బ్యాక్ ఎపిసోడ్ అసలు పస లేదు. తల్లి ఇల్లు విడిచి పెట్టి వెళ్ళడానికి కారణం లేదు. భర్త దగ్గర నుంచి ఎలాగు అతని సంపాదన లేదు కదా? అలంటి అప్పుడు అక్కడ నుంచి వెళ్ళడం ఎందుకో అర్థం కాదు. అదే ఆమెకు ఉద్యోగం లేదు, ఇల్లు నిజంగా గడవట్లేదు అన్నట్టు చూపించి ఉంటే బాగుండేది. ఆమెకు సంగీతం మీద అసహ్యం చూపించాలి కాబట్టి చూపించాడు - లాజిక్ లేదు.

అన్ని పాత్రలు కొంత సేపు కొంత సేపు అని షేర్ చేసుకునయ్యి గాని ఎ పాత్రకు సరైన న్యాయం జరగలేదు. ఈ సినిమాని విమర్శించడం నా పని కాదు. కాని కొంత మేర కష్టపడి ఉంటే నిజంగా ఈ సినిమా చాలా బావుండేది. కథ పాతది అయినా కథనం క్రొత్తగా వ్రాయొచ్చు. విశ్వనాధ్ గారు తన సినిమాలకు చేసినది అదే. ఒక సాగారసంగమం, శంకరాభరణం, స్వరాభిషేకం ఇవన్ని ఒకే కథ అయిన కథనం మారుతూ క్రొత్తగా ఉంటుంది.

అలాగే ఒక్క సినిమాని ఒక్కే genre లో తీయాలి. లేకపోతే కలగాపులగం అయిపోతుంది. ఇక్కడ జరిగింది అదే. పైన చెప్పిన మూడు సినిమాలలో పాత్రల మధ్య బంధాలు మారాయి తప్ప ఎక్కడ ప్రేమని ఇరికించే ప్రయత్నం జరగదు. అందుకని అవి ఘనవిజయాలు సాధించాయి. ఏమంటారు?

BACK FROM TIRUPATI AND BACK TO BLOG

OK almost after 4 months I am back to blog. Life was just moving in plain and somehow I did not get interested to do anything in particular so slowly I deserted myself from most of my hobbies. I don’t say I was relaxing but laziness wrapped me till neck deep and postponed many things which weren’t on priority list (don’t ask me what were thereJ ). Now I decided myself, I would share a post everyday regardless of what’s happening in my life. So I restart myself with my Tirupati experiences.

As we all believe & respect, Tirupati Balaji is most favorite GOD to many of the Indians, especially the southern’s. And I have a special love towards the ambience of Tirumala (for those who don’t know the uphill area is called Tirumala) apart from strong belief; I have in Venkanna (with Love). I got a chance to spend in Tirumala for a week doing the social service, as a scout. Generally we don’t get time to see him completely and I see regularly who miss to see him at all due to the crowd but as a scout we stand in front of the main Idol serving the pilgrims. We have a very good Darshan along with Variety of Prasadams.

This is the second time I am doing so and unlike last time, this time we had a SCOUT session for around 2 (Boring) hours. All we learnt is…ok ok…It was already boring.
As we reached Tirumala we saw people standing in free Darshan Queue for around 3 kms outside the Free Darshan complex. This is generally a slack season and we don’t see much crowd in this time of year but this time the crowd was too much…

However our Day duty started outside the temple with serving the people in Free Darshan complex. Public were waiting for hours (some more than 8 hrs) just to reach the free darshan complex and it may take couple of hrs for them to have darshan. Our duty is to assist them to come slowly, properly in line, control them if necessary. People were restless, trying to get out ASAP and some literally fighting…slowly I guess by night the crowd got controlled to some extent…

Monday evening was my first day duty inside the temple and our prime duties are to make people have a quick darshan. We don’t let them stand in front of God for more time as almost 1 lac more people await outside for darshan.

Good thing in this seva is as we serve the mankind and devotees, we can also view the God for nearly about couple of hours but we gents generally don’t stand there for so much time as we do a lot outside like assisting the handicapped, elders, controlling the public coming in and going out. Ladies do stand there for longer time in main temple (I know few ladies who just don’t come out at all).

This time the rush was so heavy that many of the special & VIP darshans got cancelled. There were no rooms available. We had to pull devotees like anything to make them move from in front of GOD. It’s funny Sometimes when we face a strong person who doesn’t move an inch from his position in spite of 2-3 of us pulling him aside, sometimes when they warn us to see our end and ask us to some out for a quarrel. While most of the times we totally understand that the devotees who’s standing in queues for hours and then can see only for very shorter period gets agitated; we maintain our patience and dignity but sometimes we too get heated up but controls ourselves and serve the next devotee at the best I can, at least for myself. Its pity when we see people who close their eyes, who stare at US, who try to talk/show to their spouses, kids, relatives many of them grown up and misses to see God; and many a times the partner would have seen the God but this fellow misses it. I would not say it’s funny but end of the day we can’t stop our self laughing when we discuss happenings of that day in our rooms.

We, almost 20 of us scouts share a single room and this time there was much youth and we enjoyed like everything outside the duty. We went to Srivari Padalu, Japaali, Papavinashanam and I felt like my college days are back. I was a kid again and I did all I have done around 10-12 years back J (don’t ask me what in Public). Over all It was good but lately many of us had fell sick due to not having proper food and sleep and mostly it as our fault cos’ we ignored the basic food & sleep while concentrating on Entertainment.

Over all it’s a wonderful experience of serving mankind, spending a week in Tirumala, Having Darshan everyday and enjoying. I look forward for many such trips in future

What a beautiful journey was it?

Hola! Now I didn’t forget English nor am I frustration…I was trying to say hi in Spanish…poor joke!!! Okay… Hey!!! Hi to all my Franklin dears…

7 reasons not to mess with children.
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ".

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute." *******************************************
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

*******************************************

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted,"Cause your feet ain't empty." *******************************************

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.
