Friendz...dears....

While I was  working at All India Radio, Hyderabad, as a Producer (1988 to 1994) I looked after Folk music section for a long time. I was and am happy that I got a great opportunity to work for the section handled by Smt.Vinjamuri Seeta Devi. I  being a singer and collector of folk songs,  contributed a lot for that section by doing regular Auditions, recording original Folk songs by rustic singers like Sarvasri Suddala Balayya, 'Andesri' (now very famous cine lyricist) V.Sreenivas ('pilla neevuleni jeevitham' fame of block buster film 'Gabbar Singh' ) S.Prabhakar, M.Narasimha Murthy, Chukka Sattaiah, Midde Ramulu (Oggukatha famous) and so on.
I used to present 'Magazine programmes' on folk lyrics, ballads and folk culture too.
In that series I used to record sri Mallepally Lakshmayya garu today's famous Telangana activist, Acharya Kasireddy Venkata Reddygaru, Sri Gopu Linga Reddygaru, Acharya ravi Bharathi, Acharya Nayani Krishnakumari etc. In those series once I recorded Sri Kapu rajayya also on 'Telangana pat paintings'. 





As I talked to him twice or thrice on phone regarding the topic and the type of questions I have to frame, I told him that I am 4th daughter  of Dr.Puttaparthivaru. He was so excited and told me that he will bring a gift to me while coming for the interview...On the  date of recording, after his interview he has taken out very valuable gift from his bag for me..Can u guess what it might be? ......Pl. guess until my next post....Don't forget to come back to me tomorrow to know the gift he presented to me...OK?
