What was this guy drinking when he said this?
A fellow who says that some writer did not understand what he wrote must
be out of his mind! How can such a fellow have any credibility?

It would be wonderful if you can provide an example of a song Sri Sri
wrote for a movie in which he changed his beliefs for money; or was
this simply an exhibition of the art of hate mongering!

Forgive me Turumella gaaru, I have a couple of questions here.

it was only a week ago that you were saying
that Sri Sri was responsible for the movement! Now it is the movement
that made Sri Sri's poetry popular! Why didn't you argue with your friend
when he said that? Or was he not quite himself when he was talking?

Now which movement was he talking about? Please ask him when he is talking
coherently. Was it the Telangana movement?, the Naxalite movement?, the
people's war movement?

"poetry"?
Were the quotes his or yours?
Either way, this is what Tilak called "coopasthamandukopanishathu"!
