Notes of discord - by Naa.Raa
are you hungry? andhra culture is blazed in glory do you not have food to eat? telugu language is 'Italian of the East' did the police beat you up? we need international fame nannayya is a great man I am feeling hungry in Krishnadevaraayulu's days -- Orey! i am feeling hungry Whichever country you go, Whereever you set foot.... mother f@#%$! I am feeling hungry!
note: 1. nannaya was a great ancient telugu poet [aadikavi] who was the earliest known to have written mahAbhAratha in telugu.
2.E dESamEginaa eMdu kaaliDinaa....[Whichever country you go, Whereever you set foot....] is from a famous poem [janmabhoomi?] by rayaprolu subbarao:- E dESamEginaa eMdu kaaliDinaa.... poGaDaraa nee talli bhoomi bharathini.. etc. Whichever country you go, Whereever you set foot.... praise thy motherland..
