When I stood first in my 6th standard, I was presented a
book of short stories by Gopichand. Atleast for 3-4 years,
I though that the name of the book was "Gopichand."
Thanks to my ZP High School Vijayawada, where excellent Telugu
novels were presented to students who scored well in exams.
Tagore, Sarat, Gopichand, Buthibabu etc...
ON YV Rao continuing the thread of Sreenivas:
YV Rao married Rukmini. Lakshmi of Julie fame is their daughter.
Aishwarya of (Brahma fame is Lakshmi's daughter.
And on Sri Vijaya Raghava Rao.
I met Sri VijayaRaghava Rao at Delhi and had a chat with him for 10
minutes. One thing I observed in ALL these celebrities is their
simpllicity and "Tejassu" in their face. He rendered music
direction for some more Hindi films. Cant remember off hand.
He was with films division giving music for INR (Indian News
Reviews) popular when there was no TV and other documentatries.
AIR Vividh Bharathi broadcasts a program at 07:30 hrs everyday
called "Sangeeth Sarita." Sri Vijaya Raghava Rao used to
present this programme for some 10 days in an year with
PURE Telugu accent Hindi.
