Lastname Story :)
"mee perlentraa"
"KAKARLA kishan"
"MANCHU sreedhar"
"needi bey"
________________________________________________
Flash back:
V class..final days :
It didnt take much time to realise the intensity of the embarrassment when we were summoned to be at Principal's room during the final days of V class.......As at Tagore school,there was no english medium beyond V class, princi was doing some paper work for TC et cetera....He suddenly started asking our surnames and I always disliked mine.Matter-of-factly,Strongly Disliked ;).After Radha(krishna)..it was my turn. didn’t want to expose my last name before Radha(he might know though).He would smile sarcastically which i only could understand..courtesy: our "okey-kancham-okey-mancham-kinda-friendship" :) .So when i was asked i simply said " i dont know" .Flabbergasted by my answer, princi asked me to go home(very nearer) and find it out. And the the one who without any ounce of surprise …stood smiling…. was my my nemesis :) Radha…because he knew .He knew I lied.
My thoughts in such instances during school-days went like : "people say that the surname shows some ancestral history..prestige.. but nobody knows even the name of one's own great grandfather …then whats the deal in the surname..why cant we go for a new” .great thinking kadaaa….!!!! thanku thanku :P
Intermediate I year: First week
The very experienced,veteran english sir ...subbaiah sir was asking about the family-tree of everybody as he was 100% confident(naa time bad..mchh!!!) that during his vast 30 years of teaching experience he must have encountered and taught atleast either of our parents or even both. God!!!!!!! My heart was aching fearing the embarrassment. And it happened again for the nth time.As the sir could not figure out my lineage...the face-to-face session lasted for a long time..me standing at my desk.....everybody staring......and within no time...each and everybody of the class room came to know my "itu yedu tharaalu-atu yedu tharalu" history ;-) .
Engineering-Ragging days:
The most feared days....had to utter the name prefixing the surname...Otherwise,had to face the wrath of the seniors : paying penalty or doing imposition-work ..the worst part was.. listening to all the filthy words they would say to you..
Stupid rules of ragging. And I used to tell my name spluttering the surname part.. ….hahaha ..in some cases even I made it sound differently altogether….
And the biggest problem did arouse with the advent of internet...when I had to create personal email id.Most of the friends had theirs with their lastnames but I never dared to keep it that way.. hahahaha ... Kishan used to tease me sometimes calling me ”hikranthi”( my id those days)..and sreedhar enquired me about the number in my id kranthi200( also mine for another period)...
Hmm…but, by the end of first year (btech)…I didn’t feel anything eerie about it…got used to that….the next few years in college..whoever asked me ,I just simply told them…quite a big change.....revolutionary change, indeed :P .
Still...kabhi kabhi.... I feel jealous whenever I come across some good lastnames :P...hmm.. nothing can be done….just relax and enjoy what my Great Great grandfathers bestowed ;)
Most encountered scene....during raggging period…when seniors caught us:
"mee perlentraa"
"KAKARLA kishan" (wow ..good one)
"MANCHU sreedhar" ( aahaa.."manchu".. manchi surname)
"needi bey"
"POTTABATHULA kranthi kumar" ( thaathaaaaa!!!!!!! )
-The End- :D

Jaunty Jaunt :)
As we reached chilakalguda circle….a traffic constable suddenly blocked our way with a small digital camera in his hand and asked us to stop. The driver slowed a bit and that constable took a pic of the auto..as it is against the law to carry that many people.And while he was taking pic,the driver started unleashing his humorous side..and said in a low voice..” theeyiraa theeyi…nee yaabba..ennni sarlu teesthaarra babu…”..and the auto moved..

With The Oscar-Winner
It has been ages since I had a sound sleep. I have been invariably living another life at nights….dreams....dreams...dreams….i feel like…i have been chased by dreams….the peculiar thing is..I remember everything that I dream.For every other person( correction: who sleeps well :) ).. a sleep is a refresh button ,a pause to all the hectic, hurly-burly living of the daytime. And for me…sadly…its another life and I have to be ‘alive’ there . No break for me...wait…you might be wondering why on earth kranthi is doing a soliloquy kind of thing. okay…let me stop this and tell u why…
I had a dream two nights ago…a dream which I cherish forever :) As it happens in every other dream..in this also..there was a transposition of locations…sometimes it was my office,My Home Hub and the next moment it was my engineering college hostel (godavari hostel …something like Ramesh’s room) and for a while it moved to road near Malaysian township ( hiteccity-jntu campus road) .
And the dream was….
I met AR Rahman….Not just meeting….you know what….i gave suggestions to him …fullu comedy kada…? ;-) but it happened. Let me narrate a bit…I was in that room with AR …another person was also there..I didn’t know who he was but I felt like I knew him.He was..like…a music album producer... He was asking AR to compose a song. AR instantly started composing and finished.There was a key board in the room. The song was good…believe me AR asked my opinion on that song.While I was with AR..i was so casual....and I replied him switching my glances over both of them “ song was good…but it caters to the category of patriotic songs…if that was what u were trying to do..then it was good” :O
Can u believe that….???? And AR clarified..”yes..we were doing that only…something like a patriotic song” ..and that face-I-know-person nodded his head in approval. Later I asked AR..” Could you help me learn keyboard…I think it would take lakhs to have you as my instructor....”
And it ended abruptly…..i woke up and thrilled . That conversation with AR ..That ingenuous smile of his……wow…..I’ll remember :-)

On Voting Day . . .
When I came to know about these promises for the first time…I was taken aback. I could not figure out what happened to our pragmatic babu. I could not digest the fact that even our techie babu could promise the moon to garner votes. I was very averse to all the election-gimmicks played to get that most coveted position.."The Chief Minister".
One of my friends,Santhosh who is hard cored ,ardent fan of TDP and ChandraBabu ,when asked by me, though he also didn’t like those money-transfer-schemes ,told me “ mari emi chestadu kranthi , edinaa haami ivvakapothey votes padavu..anni partylu edo okati cheptunnayi…..kabatti ayanaki kooda thappadam ledu ” ani. But ..that ratiocination could not give me a satisfied answer and my detestation of babu continued.
The Voting-day:
I went to srpt with hari to cast our votes. I voted first and we (hari,santhosh and me) hurried to the other polling station to have hari cast his vote. Finding Hari’s name in the list was not an easy task. In that hot sunny afternoon, we moved from one polling station to the other to trace his exact voting-station.
In that journey….i came across an old lady…a lady which made me think form her viewpoint… shifting my previous viewpoint centered at chandra babu naidu. We three went to one place and hari and santhosh were checking the lists .I was feeling uneasy with all this aimless-wandering in that sultry weather and started observing people over there who came to cast vote. An old woman was talking to some people..and I focused my gaze in that direction.
Those people( 3 men)were wearing TDP scarfs…and that gave me a clear picture that they were wooing people make cast in favour of chandrababu’s mahakootami.They might have told that old lady that casting vote to babu would help u get money(quoting babu’s money-transfer-scheme). This lady, was innocent , illiterate, ….and may be, she was poor like millions of other indians who still believe that miracles would happen in their devastating lives….Their discussion suggested that she voted Babu and came back to them.
And this was the discussion ensued...and it was very heart-touching … made me so sad….I can still hear her voice…the way she was speaking…. with a quiver in voice.. I cant verbalize …I can never forget …
She asked them ” eppudu vasthayayya dabbulu…”
“vote vesava” ,they asked.
“ haa”
“ippudu kaadu oka nalugu nelala tarvatha vastayi..”
“naalugu nelala..???? “. She was disappointed.
“ aaa….neeku renduvelu vastayi…banklo vestaru..inko veyyi kooda vastayi....”
She was all ears…. listening to them in awe …with full concentration…. and her eyelids forgot to blink…. She didn’t want to miss a single word they were saying…
“koncham vachetattu choodandayya….” uttered sadly, though with a pinch of hope.
“votesavu kada..nuvvu intikellu…dabbulu vastayile”
“sarenayya…koncham choodandi vachetattu”..
Forget about chandrababu…forget about YSR….forget about the tricks…. and forget about the intentions( guileful or guileless) of politicians….when I saw that woman….i could do nothing but hope…hope that she would get that money…I didn’t think about the practicality of that scheme…I just thought how horrible and painful and miserable life they are leading…and how badly they need money….very pathetic……
I hope they will not be cheated…..i hope …..i hope…..
They should be happy…. And That lady…that lady who was in normal simple green saree....that lady who had wrinkles on her face…that lady who walked away sadly… should be happy….. I hope.
