Dr. Venkat Raman forwarded this to me.
He gets all kinds of neat stuff. He has a bifurcated mother-tongue just like
that lizard - one half is Telugu and the other Tamil.
I like to share this with our telusAers.

A Beautiful Gem: `A New Dawn' (in Telugu) by M. Udayakala.

"rOdasito mEdinitA nEkamaina ellalO
adE taLukumaniyenukadA kAntikiraNamu

"At the thin line where the sky and the earth kiss,
lo and behold, a ray of light is appearing suddenly!

"himAcchAditammaina mahAmEdinItalamupaina
pramOdacihnahEtuvai pratyUSaprabhalu pADi lEpe

"The vast earth, clad in a mantle of snow,
is awakened by the joyous songs of the dawn's brilliance.

"anantavEdanAmayamu pras'Antarahita samayamu
nis'AntakAla nispRhalE sukhAntas'Obhitammounu"

"Filled with endless sorrow, a time without any calm,
the sighs of the long night will be crowned with contentment."
