Little explanation: This was written during the early days of
AndharaPradesh formation where there was a large push for socialism and
genuine interest by the government in solving some of the problems of the
society, under leadership of Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy.
The scene: A social worker and buDabuDakkala bichchagaaDu. ( buDabuDakkala
vaaDu is a common sight in Rayalaseema - generally a hefty and health guy
carrying damak with some colorful dress, begging for food). The social
worker is trying to persuade him to change his profession and be productive
in the society. Those looking for message they can find it. Of course no
revolutions were preached. Those who are looking for rhyme and rhythm
without obvious chandas that is there too. If you can enjoy, be my guest.
Again if you have preconceived notions that you donot like it, you can quit
with a delete button. But no flames please. My father is no more to
defend his position. I am transcribing based on audio tape and any
corrections to my typed output are welcome. I can make a copy of the tape
and send it if any one is interested. Of course it sound better on the tape
with his reading.
