Hello Narasimham, (please note the missing gaaru-singaaram)

Haven't talked to you after the TANA week. How're things? Finished
Regadi vittulu; started on a second reading.

your enjoyment..

All this time, I thought paasanaalu (without the sibilant and the
anu-naasikam) was a Godavari-ism. As also "pimzalu", not "pimjelu" as
tUrpaaLLU/ganjaam-saiDu vaLLU might call them. And the p-things
(call them paaasanaalu or paashaNaalu) paTTukOvu, aTTukumTaayi,
as in, "Ori vedhavaa! paragaDupuna pasaru mekkitE 
poTTa kOsEsi, paasaanaalaTTukumTaayi!"


"begguru", "ubbara" are new to me.

One of these days, I must write down the sounds of "OyiDraabaaDu" which
still reverberate in my head.
