Downloading and Synchronizing MMGL Podcasts (Free) via iTunes

Admin — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 02:57:25 +0000

The other day I asked one caller on how he is accessing podcasts posted on TeluGlobe. It appears that he is listening to them directly using the web browser via TeluGlobe site. This is a good way. The trouble with this is older episodes cannot be seen immediately unless you seek older posts or do a search.

There is a better way. Download all MMGL episodes to your iTunes library and then synch them to your mobile iPxxxx device. Here is a surprise video podcast for you which shows how to do it.

Mohana Muralidhar with Sri Jonnavittula (Nov 2008) – 1 of 2

Admin — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 03:26:54 +0000

Famous Telugu lyricist, poet, orator, and movie director Sri Jonnavittula Ramalingeswara Rao garu rarely gives interviews. I had the good fortune of interviewing him not once, but twice for TORi audience. The first of the two interviews took place in Nov 2008.

In this part 1 of the interview, Sri Jonnavittula shared his experiments with lyrics for such songs as 1) Sanskrit disco, 2) thitla dandakam, and 3) Rupee dandakam. We had a light hearted discussion about the sensational hit song: jinthaka thika thika jinthaka tha (Vikramarkudu).

This is a must listen interview.

(Podcast) Encounter with Shopping Subbarao

Admin — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 10:50:19 +0000

**** Just reposting this popular podcast from a year ago -- in case you’ve missed it earlier *****

I have already posted the script of my fake encounter with the fictional Shopping Subba Rao in an earlier post. Call this work crooked social commentary or comedy -- Kanaka Prasad and I were correct in thinking that Shopping Subbarao is going to strike a nerve. If the opportunity comes, I will explain the motivation behind this skit. But, as I mentioned in a reply to one of the comments, let me emphasize a couple of things here:

Not only Telugu people – a lot of 2nd generation and later Americans (regardless of race and ethnic background) do these things. Don’t you remember Claude Allen -- a senior official in the Bush administration, who had to resign due to shoplifting charges? His antics are also in this play.
As I said, there is some self criticism here. Just read between the lines.

There is nothing wrong in trying to better ourselves with some introspection. If I am hated for speaking the truth – so be it.

As requested by many, I am posting the audio podcast of this skit a bit earlier than usual.

Valentine’s Day: What is Love (1 of 2)?

Admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:48:25 +0000

*** July 8, 2011 insert: Perhaps one of the most frequently visited ‘topics’ by TORi RJs is, “Which is better -- arranged marriage or love marriage?” Like everybody, I too have an opinion about it. However, I avoided discussing this topic on my shows. For, it is a complicated topic. My off-beat thinking gives less credence to heart and places more value on practical approach. I will leave the debate to youth, which claim to be an expert on this subject (joke, folks, joke) and leave you with these pensive thoughts about love in general. ***

February 14th is around the corner. We can’t escape hearing about it. I don’t know if Valentine’s Day is necessary for expressing and celebrating ‘love.’ Before we can even think of expressing love, don’t we have to understand what ‘love’ means in the first place? In this special, I tried to bring a philosophical view point on what it means by “love.” Whether you agree with my take or not, after listening to this you might say, “Hmmm. That is interesting. ”

Lost in Desert: Here is the link to the poll I conducted as a part of this show. The poll essentially asks the following:

A couple and their 7 year old son are lost in the midst of a desert in mid summer. They are on foot. No water, no food and nary a person to help them. They continued their trek for two days with the hope of finding some food and help. As they begin losing their senses, the adults started blaming each other for their situation. The only thing kid is saying is “I am thirsty. I am hungry.” And he is refusing to walk along. They they found a bottle with one gulp of water and piece of bread good for one bite. The persons who don’t get that food and drink are expected to die.

How would you behave in this situation?

The results of the poll, is shown in part 2 of this post: What is Love (2 of 2)?
