Ramaswamy Tripuraneni

This is from one of the most popular Telugu news papers, Andhrajyohty.

In their issue dated the 20th of November 2005, this magazine has published under the 'pramukhula santhkalu', the signature of Tripuraneni Ramaswamy, the social reformist.

It is interesting to note that the signature is in English.

I wonder what those members of the caste he was born into would say, that Ramaswamy, a true social reformist was against the petty caste system and was above these caste considerations and it was 'they' who appended the 'Chowdary' a word that he himself renounced!

I think 'they' who claim him to be a part of their community, in their over zealous and petty, narrow thinking should be ashamed of themselves. Perhaps the world knows now. Tripuraneni Ramaswamy though born into a "kamma" or "Choudary" caste did not relish being branded a 'Kamma" or 'Choudary'.

Don't you think so?

Had he wanted himself to be recognised that he is a part of the Kamma or Choudary caste, he would definitely had the previlege? All he had to do was add three more letters to his name where ever they were to appear.

Is it not a great injustice to him?

What have you to say?

The mahaguru of Management

This was the great man this issue of LIFE SKILLS, DIKSUCHI carried. Let us see how the readers appreciate it. An other thing this week they carried a 'little appreciation' from a few readers from Nalgonda.

As to ePADAM their appreciation was nice in the sense that they did like the way I am introducing the concept of learning the words through images/pictures, and various other formats. I am yet to find a response to the Cross Word. Let us wait for some time. Hopefully they'll pick it up.

ePADAM



ePADAM

This week 07-11-05 ePADAM carried 'orthography' under the etymology. The best thing about this week's ePADAM is that almost all the topics had something or other to do with COMMUNICATION whether verbal or non verbal. Kind of gives a nice feeling. But for the very first letter of criticism (?) that commented on the ambiguity of some of the topics in the column there generally appears to be some sort of acceptance(!). The response from the kids is good. We did publish the names of some of the readers who did send across their answers for various small 'do it' I gave them. Nice feeling again. Am able to prod those minds that are way back in the rural , 'upmarket' country that is a NO, NO for the business/commercial enterprises who translate everything into a earn-able rupee and that which is not is not their potential territory. How very unfortunate. I want these minds way back in the rows of the schools away from these BHAGYANAGAR's to fight out and come and join these ranks here and improve themselves and help enjoy a better life. Hope there is at least one mind out there which had learned something from my ePADAM and one individual who has learnt to live a better life helping herself from LifeSkills.

ePADAM

ePADAM
At last ePDAM has reached many hamlets and villages and the folks away from the cities and the urban and semi-urban readers. Now there are a few out there who are reaching out for their writing instruments, pulling out their pencils,pens and erasers and post cards and envelopes their hard earned money to pay for the postage to mail their impressions and needs. That gives such a wonderful feeling. There are those kids out there who would be looking forward to my ePADAM and trying to figure out the answers and learn hopefully in the process and build up their English vocabulary and hopefully would use it to improve their own self and the society at large. WHOOPS..WHOA..what a feeling
of exultation and accomplishment.Those few who knew me called up to inform that the page layout, the design, the content had been presented in a nice way and appreciated it.
CAREER CORNER (Soft Skills)
This too had reached them but then wonder how many of them
would come back for the reviews.Those that read did like it. The language, the style of narration, presentation they liked it. Perhaps it would be difficult to keep them impressed for there is much that is expected.But then it is a must that the management and the editorial team at Andhrajyothy be thanked and the EDUCATION desk team, Kiran, Umesh, Karunakar and especially Gopi who have given their best to see that the columns presented well. Thank you friends!

DIKSUCHI
ePADAM & CAREER CORNER (Soft Skills)


Wonder if you are a male and trying to deliver a baby! Would you be able to visualize the process of delivering a new life into the chaos around you that is chaotic to the baby. Until that nano second it has been comfortable in the womb of its mother. And suddenly all that light, and the sounds, and the noise, and the brightness, and those touches. and the caress and the cooing... (wonder if it understands the cooing though)

But you are not the mother and you are the father and there are hundreds of thousands of thoughts that are running through those grey cells between your ears...about all those things... that have been dinned into your mind, into your conscious, into your thought, into your psyche,into your experiences, by those others, whether be your sister, your mother..your colleague..and of course your father, son!

Can you imagine your self on that cot \, it is not the bed you make love and or relax and or keep yourlsef warm under the blankets and or make others warm, with your legs spread out and in pain (is it pleasurable as was making love ..the act of procreation not fornication)

I am going through those pangs of delivery.

The delivery of my column with the help of the layout artiste. I am told he does DTP jobs on the side to make a better living.

My sub helps bring home that extra bread and the extra money that he needs so badly to make his family comfortable. And the guy who manages the desk ..is open to suggestions and new thoughts and new experiences and is willing and able to experiment. Thanks to him. He is capable of taking his part of the whole team including his mgmt along with the idea. But then I am worried about what the readers are going to say. Am I worth all of that space. three pages and more, two thirds of it in color ..though it is essentially a compilation of facts culled from here and there.

Guess what the reader’s pronouncement would be. This is all about the ePADAM. The first column of its kind in the Telugu journalism.

Don't you think that is but natural!
Is not it so?

Did you write before?
If you did share with me your thoughts..if you haven't imagine and again share how it would be whether you are a father or a amother or in between and or more..
Please do..
