When ever we turn the pages and touch the fotos, the complete scene of that fotograph appear before our eyes and heart refreshes with new energy. Is n't it? One such sweet remembrance of mine is here to share with u all......

 

Friendz...In 1978 I joined in AIR Kadapa, as a Tansmission Executive (Duty Officer). As I was participating in AIR programmes, prior to my joining, I continued my activity of wrting Playlets, short stories, singing light music, Devotional songs and Folk songs too. In 1979, famous Telugu Novelist Shri Gollapudi Maruthi raogaru joined there as Programme Executive. He was very active and jovial too. Though most of the time he was either on leave or 'Un applied DUMMA leaves', but when ever he was there, he used to produce programmes in that very small sngle number studio of AIR Kadapa, in co-operative colony of KADAPA.

He wrote many 'small skits' with messages like 'family planning', 'Following Q system' 'Safety precautions in kitchen for ladies' 'Savings' and so on. Famous media personalities of now a days, Dr.Voleti Parvateesam (DDK Senior Prog. exceu)), Sri Kalaga Krishna Mohan (Music composer and Senior Prog. execu. AIR) Sri Kapardi (Senior Annour. AIR) were my collegues of those days. We all used to participate in those skits of Gollapudigaru, in a very joyous atmosphere. In one of his skits on family planning, i acted as a mother of 6 children and in that skit, he made me shout for her lost child in a very shrilled voice 'chittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'....and that skit of very small duration (45secds) was being played many a times through out the day in all the three transmissions. And so, our listeners were mad after  that skit and when ever they find our vehicle outside, they used to enquire our collegues as to 'who played the role of mother very very naturally in that skit? So our collegues  gave me a nick name 'jingle Rani'.....nice na? Now, the story behind the above foto....I wrote a playlet namely "O inti Ramayanam"on family planning. Sri Gollapudi produced that play in which myself, sri Aaraveeti sreenivasul-another stalvert of AIR, Kadapa, and others participated...... Sri Gollapudi without any hesitation, acted as a street vendor who sells  flowers. Though he was very famous novelist till then, he never posed like that. He used to visit my house seldom, and share coffee, tiffin and even lunch sometimes along with my then collegues Voleti parvateesam, Kapardi and krishna Mohan. Afterwards, he got promoted as Assistant Station Director at KADAPA AIR itself, and resigned as he got more chances in pictures...Dr.R Anantha Padmanabha Rao also worked at AIR Kadapa more than 5 to 6 years. Gollapudi and RAP (as he was called by collegues and  artists) participated in a weekly dialogue programme like 'bava maradulu' which was equally famous in those days.....So..friendz..many more fotos and stories to share with u all ....Pl. do peep in here regularly.........
