In our area, we call aDDATa as 'aTa - aDDU'. I love & like this game very
much. I think I am very good at playing aDDATa. RamaKrishna garu .. If you
are very good, I hope I can compete with you. It looks like Prasad also is
very good. meeto sama uaggini kagalananna dhyryamu mariyu nammakamu na
kunnayi. With Palana,Jampala and Kalasapudi, we will be six. There is a room
for only two.

 aTa - aDDu - sharatu - pisharatu - dasta - pidasta

 33 years passed in my life without playing aTA - aDDU. I will be looking
for that night. That sound is also music to my ears.

Better to play aDDATa the night before so that we can have plenty of time.
We can not concentrate during competetions time. The booth is for other
Folk games. If we all will be playing aDDATa, who are going to work as judges.
Do you want to be fired from that job?

Kotapati SambasivaRao.
