	 Last night Sri Veluri gAru was kind of upset with me for
	 ruining the rhyme of Gurazada's miNugurulu. Sorry sir!
	 I didn't mean to. gurazADa gaNalani gaNimcagala guNamekkaDidi nAku?

	 What I was (am) genuinely interested is in the kids rhymes (pillala
	 pATalu) which my boys would like to sing easily. Bapa Rao gAru also has
	 some interest in these songs.

	 I understand that Sri Veluri gAru used to write some kids songs and he
	 even published one such song in Andhra Prabha around the mid 50s.
	 This man (gentleman ?), Veluri gAru, is something! He even does not
	 have a copy.

	 Please tell us the project on Kids Songs carried out under the
	 direction of Sri G.V.Sitapati tAtagAru at Rajahmundry wherein the same
	 project Sri Velcheru Narayanarao gAru worked for some time (with/for
	 G.V. Sitapati gAru - I came to know this from Sri Velcheru gAru - later
	 Sri Veluri gAru said the same).

	 I will leave the rest to Sri Veluri gAru to complete on this project
	 on Kids Songs in Telugu and his ventures in writing Kids songs.
	 I wish Sri Velcheru gAru says something on his experiences with Sri GV
	 Sitapati gAru.

	 Sri GV Sitapati was (is) special to my family.
	 He was something...........One should see him and meet.

	 Left Parlakimedi saying "My Andhra". The Andhra Government
	 did do nothing for him or for his father, Sri GV Rama Murthy, those
	 days. (Even if the Govt. of Andhra did anything, it was a miniscule).
	 The literary lovers and admirers of Vaduka Bhasha did help this father
	 & son team. Any way, that is a sidebar.

	 Veluri gAru -
