THE DEVILS (1971)
The Devils (1971) is one of the, most controversial films, yet it is still a classic, also a political thriller, discussing the problems of Church and State. Causing an almost immediate sensation upon its release, The Devils has been widely banned across the globe. The late film director Ken Russell was the embodiment of outrageous cinema. Fifty three […]
FASLI CALENDER
FASLI CALENDER – There are many books belonging to my father lying at the ancestral house at Govindupalli village neglected.

TAAZA TIFFINS, POCHARAM
All I saw at Hyderabad was early morning crowd, students, milk vans, buses, good transporting trucks, chicken vans, GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) sweepers trying to sweep the never diminishing heaps of garbage and most important of all the greed of man. I prayed for crossing the city ASAP. On the way and after 13 […]
WELCOME TO THE PLANET EARTH
How the time flies! It looks like Jyothi and Praveen were married just yesterday! I visited Upparapally village (near Warangal) to attend their simple but memorable marriage. Personally, I do not like attending any function/celebration. I consider the very concept of function stupid. Attending functions is the most efficient way of wasting the precious time. […]
SWACHH BHARAT PLEDGE
I do not think the present Swachh Bharat Pledge is effective. It feels that it was authored by an inexperienced person.

The Barber Worker of Telangana
I first met Mr. Korutla Ravi / Ravinder when he visited my house at the Nookapalli village near Jagtial to cut my hair. He is the village barber. He is professional in his work and knows the nuances of his trade well. He wore a dirty worn-out jean and a soiled shirt. His feet were […]
The Descendants of Henry Ford
Wright brothers, Henry Ford, Madam Curie etc.… are considered as the greatest people ever to walk on this planet. With their inventions they have changed the face of earth forever! No one can disagree with this statement. They changed the earth’s face in such an ugly manner that it is ashamed of showing its face! […]
