I am anxiously waiting for the reply I much sought over last couple of
days. Meanwhile, I am also reminded of a certain usage of the
politically invioloable color in raavi saastri's famous & beautiful
short story #mAmiDi cheTTu# - this being the first thing that always
comes to my mind whenever I have to think or speak about Telugu short
story. If memory serves me right, the chief character therein - either
Mr.Neelamani or his daughter Ms.Neelamani was described as either
#chitaginza black# or a #tumma moddu# black. I never rethought about
it till today. Also, as the story goes, Mr.Neelamani is not a
venerable character. Is his dark complexion purely incidental or meant
to be an author's artifice for accentuating Mr.Neelamani's "dark"
character ?
Will the experts of chromatic analysis in Telugu literature comment on
the raavi saastri's intentions and nonintentions in applying a dark
coating to Mr.Neelamani ?
