Telugu Basha Aatma Kadha-1

“Desa bashalandhu Telugu lessaa” -- Sri Krishna Devarayalu

Have you ever come across this sentence? If you are a Telugu you might have came across this sentence more than once like me. I have heard this, read this sentence but never wondered what the history behind this language is. Never thought beyond learning and reading as a mother tongue (No time for this kind of work...) But for the last three weeks (after 24 yrs [:)]) I was kind of doing research on this topic "History of Telugu”.. Was it the only language spoken in Trilinga Desam? How did it come in to existence? What’s the literature in it? ……………………………… o gone in to this world .
If you think there is a need for knowing these things continue to read this post or you know it better what to do :P
1 2 3 Go.....

Anaganaga oka desam .. Its name is Trilinga Desam . the region which is in between three jyothirlingas was called so. There were many tribes living here from the begining (very long time there was a mention about this in MahaBharatam as well)... some of them are Gondi,Konda ,Kui,Manda,Parji ,Gadaba ,Kolami ,Pengo,Naiki ,Kuvi ,Tenugu .. all had there own language which belong to proto Dravidian family and were in some form similar to Telugu (or Tenugu..)

Over a period of time Tenugu was the language much more spoken among the common public and this language evolved to what we know today as Telugu.
Even though Telugu was spoken commonly, the official language (in some BC periods and till may be 500 - 600 AD ) was 'Prakrut' which is similar to Sanskrit. All the Royal declarations etc were in this language. There are few inscriptions found recently which show that around 100BC few kings used Telugu on inscriptions.

Similarity between Kannada and Telugu script is largely because of the Pallava rulers who ruled both the regions.

Chiru Megastar

I am a big fan of Chiru so lets start with SDZB review .here it goes ..

"200 days guarantee" .
Chiru in the lead has stunned(this word chosen) the crowds once again. Boss (as most of us call him) comedy has its own style it doesn't matter even if the film is a remake.
Chiru's acting has never got negative feedback and his dancing skill adds to what ever he does.There were movies which were commercially successful just cos of Boss dance steps. If it comes to comedy 'drunked acting' he can be given a Doctorate. Boss none is your equal. Megastar is Megastar and will remain a Megastar....

wait!!! don't think it goes on like this. For everything there is an end can that be true for Megastar?
As a fan i can appreciate this film but as a normal movie goer hmmm..... i doubt. Boss with his bulky screen presence no doubt has done a good job and danced well for his age but shouldn't he start thinking of quitting the industry? At least the lead roles in particular.
Crowds have seen Chiru as a good dancer, good actor and has given him a status which was not given to anyone earlier, there is nothing for him to prove ........but this memory may be corrupted(sorry am a software engg) if he continues to do films in this way.
If we take a look at the younger generation in the Telugu industry (Prince in particular) Boss can be confident to stop taking lead roles as industry has got a bunch of youngsters who are really good at what they do and can entertain Telugu crowd.

Being a Chiru fan i myself feel that he should not quit but thinking practically i felt that he should quit.
He should quit to remain a Megastar in our memories.

Ofcourse theez is my opinion.
