that is music to my ears. for years, i have been imploring my friends
to try playing aDDATa, me guaranteeing a full table for the whole night.
alas! no one took the bait. i always wondered why only teluguvALLU play
aDDATa?
now that this post might be construed as violation of the charter, let
me escape by asking a question - is "manElA", the word by which "9" is
referred to in aDDATa, a telugu word?
with thanks to my grandmother who taught me aDDATa,
