Sir, yes I only posted the above quote subjected "nEnu ArAdhiMcEvALLu
EmannAru". In the same mail I also quoted SriSri's "kadilEdee
kadiliMcEdee". It must have conveyed you that SriSri also is
in the list of "nEnu ArAdhiMcEvAru". I thought Sri VSN would have
reconsidered his statement if he knew about the recent happenings.
That is the reason for me saying "it is the time which decides".
Should I have to accept blindly if someone says
something? Don't I have the
freedom to think over it and decide from my own understanding.
"vinadagu nevvaru ceppina
vininaMtane vEgapaDaka vivariMpadagun"
Sri VSN said something long-time back, now, shall I have to
accept it! Infact I accept his statement. Where
is my freedom to analyse? Anyway, thanks for finding out
my freudian slip.

It depends on the intellectual freedom of the reader.
Everyone has the equal right to throw the stone on something
which they do not like. Often many people do compromise,
because scared of the flames, or fearing that they may be
insulted if they were prooved to be wrong. IMHO, this is
not a right way of learning. I WANT TO LEARN. Doesn't mater
if I am going to be insulted.
If I do not like certain things I have every right to
negate it, at the same time I should be ready for the
give and take method.

Yesterday I had a discussion with Sri Potukuci Sambasiva Rao
about SriSri's poetry. For my wonder he made very denouncing
statements regarding SriSri. I requested his permission to
post his statements on this forum. The following comments
are made by Sri Potukuci Sambasiva Rao during the discussion
You can confirm all these statements with him.
START :
SriSri did not understand Marxism fully. What ever he has
written he neither understood nor followed. To say a Hypocrite.
When I conducted World Telugu Conference (prapaMca telugu mahAsabhalu)
for the first time SriSri came and agitated against conducting
conferences. We met many times during literary sessions at
various places.
He is a man of greed and sold himself for money. Where did he
follow the marxist theory ? He is a man of double standards.
He joined Cinema field where he has to obey someone's idealogy.
It is the movement that gave his "poetry" tremendous popularity.
He used vishalandhra to popularise himself. There are many great
poets who have not bound to the movement. For example take
karuNaSree he is really a great poet.
