"Ah, Love!
Could thou and I with fate conspire,
To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire,
Would we not then shatter it to bits,
And then remould it nearer to heart's desire!"
Friends,
I don't think the discussion has been about "Old vs. New" or "Form vs.
Content" or "Art for Art's Sake" or any of the age-old debates that have
been going around in this context.
AS gAru ceppinaTlu we are no longer talking to each other.
We are a small group, and all of us have an interest in Telugu
literature. While we may differ on what belongs in this category, I hope
everybody agrees that the following are definitely out of scope -
1. Assertions and insinuations about the intentions and bona fide of
either group (I would not have used this expression, but the general
consensus seems to be that there are "groups" and that there is a
"fence" to which there are two sides) by the other
2. hELana, yettipoDupulU, SApanArdhAlU, kOpa tApAlu
Regards,
Uday
PS: Yes, I have been as guilty as the next person, especially on my
second point.
