కధ చాలా బాగుంది. ముఖ్యంగా గంగిరెద్దుల వాడినీ, మిక్కీమౌస్ వేషాల్లో తిరిగే వాళ్ళనీ పోల్చడం బాగుంది. మేమూ గేటెడ్ లగ్జరీ అపార్టుమెంటులో నివసించే లిమిటెడ్ మెంటాలిటీ జనాల్లో ఒకళ్ళం కావడం చేత కధ చదువుతున్నట్లు కాక చూస్తునట్లనిపించింది. నాకే కాదు…హైటెక్ సిటీ పరిసరాల్లో గేటెడ్ కమ్యూనిటీల్లో ప్లాస్టిక్ పలకరింపులతో, మొహమాటపు నవ్వులతో బతికే ….(గమనించండి…..జీవించడం కాదు…బతకడం) తెలుగువాళ్ళందరికీ నచ్చుతుంది.

Thank you Malathi garu for considering the members’ comments and we expect you to write stories with some “content” ,which won’t waste time, in near future.
after reading all the stories i have to agree with you , infact i raelly feel sorry for you all, better luck next time, but i thought for the prize money thats offered, may be very good quality stories could be expecetd. are we spreading the message far enough to catch some decent writers. may gods be kind to us next year

what can one say except that its a story without ending or an incomplete ending?/ alas the judges must have had a really tough time selecting the better of the worst. good luck next time gentlemen

Thanks to all the readers who had taken the time to read my story and post their comments (four including the one I got personally).
Your questions got me thinking why or how I came about to write this story. However I would like to do it in Telugu. So, I will write my reasons and post it on my site sometime next week.
Once again, thanks.
A few days ago I posted a short msg, hoping that I’ll learn the unicode necessary for this site and will be able to write in Telugu. But it’s not going to happen any time soon. Therefore, here are my thoughts on the subject.
I am glad to see that the Telugu community is coming together to promote Telugu teaching/learning in this country. Beyond that, I am curious to know if the organizers had studied how the Telugu programs currently in place are faring and what is their status in the larger context of higher education in the US.
I have been associated with the Telugu program in Madison for several years. (The program is running for over 50 years now. I will post the complete article on the history of Telugu program in Madison on my website, http://www.thulika.net soon).
Secondly, what is the strategy of these organizers to get sufficient numbers enrolled in the program so the program could be self-supportive; how long will it take to make the program self-supportive.
Third is about Telugu fiction which may not be directly related to starting Telugu programs in universities but certainly has its share in it. This thought occurred to me while reading Kalpana Rentala’s article on the themes in diaspora fiction by women writers. She asked why Telugu women in America were not writing about today’s topics such as share market and gay/lesbian issues. I was thinking maybe because those topics are of immediate relevance to our youth and only they can write those stories effectively. But then again, how many of our youth are interested in writing fiction in Telugu, and do they have the language skills to write such stories in Telugu. I think this question also should be part of those planning sessions. In the final analysis, they are the ones that will register in your courses.
Let’s see if we can get more students committed to learning the language.
