International Mother Language Day


Today is International Mother Language Day..
One of the impact of Globalisation is that some of the languages which are spoken by lesser population are disappearing form the world.
Try to learn other languages to gain knowledge , to know about more people. but never forget your mother tongue. Forgetting our mother tongue means forgetting our culture, tradition ,and heritage.








తెలుగు నా మాతృ భాష
తెలుగు వాళ్ళు తెలుగుని మరిచిపోతున్నారు
తెలుగులో మాట్లాడటం అనేది ఒక మంచి అలవాటుగా చేసుకోవాలి
మన భాషనూ మనమే చులకన చేసుకోవద్దు ,
తెలుగు వారందరం తెలుగులోనే మాట్లాడదాం

చంద్రబోస్ గారు ఒక సిని పాటలో చెప్పినట్టు...
పర భాష గ్యానాన్ని సంపాదించు
మాతృ భాషలోనే నువ్వు సంభాసించు

Reminiscences of my school days...

I go nostalgic when ever I think of my school days. They were the golden days.So much nostalgic feelings fill up in my mind when the subject of my Alma matter comes..I don't know if ,I could be able to written up all those feelings...memories...

my first school... , from where chweet little sapna started going to school...it's bad that I don't have any memories about that....But still it will be my first school where I started learning A B C of life .....where I completed my Kindergarten... where I first learnt the rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle little Star", like all kids.I got to know from my parents that when ever someone asked me for my school name I used to tell in chweet chweet words ..hahaha...

From my second school , I have some good memories...my primary education was from this school,..from this time my siblings also joined me.. and we used to have somuch fun but not above the studies!!!!.I still remember the school ,the play ground ,,,the garden...

and my final school ,which has remarkable influence on my life , I completed my high school there.I still remember the day when I attended the Entrance Examination for this school,,,,I was so nervous , not even prepared for that, just I went to one of dad's friend's house warming function and had to attend Exam.,,,the school , the place ,the town all were new to me..but later it
became my Best school. :)
In that we not only learnt the lessons from books ,but the lessons of the life, 'how to behave with the persons around you, how to talk with the elders', like all those which are important for a growing child to become a perfect human being.

We used to have the special place among all the pupil from various schools.we used to rock ..guys!!!
yeah really..what sports and games,what cultural activities, what other competitions, in all academics and non-academics we,the pupil of our school only used to win always!!!! we used to enjoy a lot ...it feels proud to be the student of that school ,my school..the one and only Vani Niketan.. means 'abode of the goddess of learning' ,Saraswati it self.

We had been taught about our culture..our tradition..and Sanskrit language, that not many schools did,not like now-a-days teachers and schools those only concentrate on marks and ranks.
Our teachers made us concentrate on current affairs ,to observe whats going around us..that is helping us now also..that made us become a good human with some responsible towards others and the society as well. That's why we never said 'no' to school.


Red and White uniform with black shoes ,we were training under the careful guidance of most adorable teachers.

I was the topper and class gal for whole my schooling(I think that's why only I don't have so many friends from school days,since I was not one of all :P). And I was a teachers' pet ,they used to call by the names what ever the y like. (oooohhhh:))

How could I write in this small space all my reminiscences when each and every of my school days is as alive in my mind as yesterday? Exam tensions, early adolescent curiosities, fights and consolations amongst friends, recess funs,fear of punishment (punishment ?? waise mujhe kabhi nahin mila!!!)when homework is not done

I will always miss my school days

kaash woh din phir se aajate......
kaash hum apne bachpan mein phirse lout pate.....

SANKRANTHI

Sankranti , is a Sanskrit word which refers to the transmigration of Sun from one Rasi to another.Hence there are 12 Sankratis in all.the Sankrati festival usually refers to Makar Sankrati, or the transmission of Sun from Dhanu rasi (Sagittarius) to Makar Rasi(Capricon)

The festival, Sankranti , is celebrated for four days in Andhra Pradesh as below:
Day 1 - Bhogi
Day 2 - Makara Sankranti (Pedda Panduga)
Day 3 - Kanuma
Day 4 - Mukkanuma

The first day of festival is Bhogi. At dawn people light a bonfire with wooden logs, other solid-fuels and wooden furniture at home home that are no longer useful. In many families, infants and children (usually less than three years old) are showered with fruit called "Regi Pandlu", that is the Indian jujube fruit. It is believed that doing this would protect the children from evil eye, called "Dishti" (from Sanskrit Drishthi: sight).

GOBBILLU
The second day is Makara Sankranti , also called "Pedda Panduga" , which literally means "the big festival", the Festival of colors. Before every house girls and women display colouful rangolis before the dawn itself.Spesially for Sankrati the rangolis ,called Muggulu in telugu, displayed all with straight lines in the traditionla manner.Gobbillu , balls of Cow Dung are placed in the middle of these Rangolis and worshiped with flowers , kumkum and turmeric in a ritualistic way.

Kanuma Panduga is not as widely celebrated, but is an integral part of the Sankranti culture. Mukkanuma is famous among the non-vegetarians of the society. People in Coastal Andhra do not eat any meat or fish during the first three days of the festival, and do so only on the day of Mukkanuma, where as people in Telangana region observe only the first two days as part of the festival and eat any meat or fish on Makara Sankranti (Pedda Panduga}, the second day of the festival. For this festival all families prepare Ariselu, and in Northern Telangana regoin people prepare ,"SAKINALU" a snack specially made for Sankrati.
