You may recall — I have been particularly critical about for-profit educational institutions for preying on lower quality students and soak them with debt to enrich the executives at these universities. Here is a great revelation by a pimp for these Fraudversities (another Freudian slip).
Vince Sampson, president, Education Finance Council, said during a panel at [...]
I have a lot of favorite songs — written by Pingali, Samudrala, Athreya, Arudra, SriSri, Ci Na Re, Veetoori, Veturi, Gopi, Sirivennela and Jaladi. For the past 30+ years, if you asked me what is my all time favorite song in Telugu, I would have said ‘Yaathamesi thodinaa yeru endadu…” by Jaladi.

The story is probably based on something really happened but over a period when told to generations after generations it adds the legendary nature to the episode. [...]
చందమామ అంటే తెలియని తెలుగోడు వుండడు. ప్రతి ఒక్కరి బాల్యం ఈ మహాద్భుతమైన సరళ సంచిక తో ముడిపడి వుంటుంది. అందులో నేను ఒకడిని. చిన్నప్పుడు ఎప్పుడు చందమామ వస్తుందా, గ్రంధాలయం కెళ్ళి చదవాలా అని తొందరగా వుండేది. ఈ సాగర మధనం లో పడి నా బుడి బుడి ఆలోచనలు మర్చి పోయాను. మళ్ళి ఇదిగో ఈ అంతర్జాల మహిమ వల్ల www.chandamama.com రూపంలో సాక్షాత్కరించింది. 1947 జూలై అంటే మనకు స్వాతంత్రం రాక మునుపు విడుదల అయిన [...]

ప్రవృత్తికి భావుకుడిని, వృత్తికి అధ్యాపకుడిని అని చెప్పుకొనే నైజం నాది. కొన్ని సరస శృంగార గీతాలు వింటే, వింటూ ఆ గీతాల సునిశత చిత్రీకరణ చూస్తే భావుకత నిండిన రసికత పట్టపగ్గాలు లేకుండా చెలరేగుతుంది. అలాంటి ఒక శృంగార గీతం శ్రీకృష్ణ విజయం లోని “పిల్లనగ్రోవి పిలుపు మెలమెల్లన రేపెను వలపు.” మరొక్కసారి, ఎవరండీ NTR గారికి శృంగార రసం పండించడం రాదు అన్నదీ? ఇంతకంటే సున్నితంగా, మగువల మనసుకు హత్తుకు పోఎలాగా ఏ నటుడు చెయ్యగలడు, [...]
