Dear Literati:
This post, I hope is not against the charter of Telusa or even SCIT!
After all, we had music lessons, magic squares and now the
history quizzes. Did I see requests for crossword puzzles too!
(Speaking of quizzes, I have a very personal request: My dear Sreenivas!
Please post multiple choice quizzes. Then I can use the golden rule:
eenee meenee mainee mO.. .. I might get a few of them right! Right?
Or how about Yes/No type quizzes?? I might have better luck! jus' kidding!)
I have this query for the Sanskrit aficionados:
-- samEsamAsamOmAsassAmEmAsasamAsamA
yOyAtayAtayAyAtiyAyAtyAyAtayAtayA --
Who wrote this? Where? What does it mean?
I think I know the very prosaic meaning of it. It's similar to
Einstein's famous answer to an old lady's query on special relativity!
I do not know the answers for the other questions!

ps: For those who constantly suffer from systematized delusions that
I am a part of a conspiracy to hijack this beautiful telugu literary
group to janasanghees or to some weird nuts on the sanskrit digest, or
for the private use of kt and the likes, I solemnly promise that
I have no such honorable intentions!!
