Raane Vasthaadu nela raju ee roju

# Ever heard this beautiful song oozing with telugu'ness ..most of you probably did many many times. These lyrics are written by none other than Gnanpeeth Award winner Dr. Carre Narayana Reddy often referred as Cinare. Cinare is one of those very few gifted people who can write popular songs at one end as well as immaculate classical poetry at the other end.
# Dr. C.Narayana Reddy was born on July 29th, 1931 at Hanumajipeta, a remote village in the interior of Karimnagar district.
# It was in the year 1962, the movie was "Gulebaavali Katha". Nataratna Dr.NTR requested this great personality to write a song for that movie, and C.Narayana Reddy garu entered into Tollywood with the song "Nannu dochu kunduvate...vannela dorasani", the song became an instant hit and offers from producers knocked his door very often. His songs became so popular that people used to flock to theaters just to hear his beautiful songs.
# Cinare continued his winning streak in tollywood with films like Atmabanduvu, chaduvukunna ammayilu, pujaphalam, Bobbiliyuddam, paramanandayya shishyula katha, chikkadu dorakadu, Lakshmi kataaksham, badipantulu, pandanti kapuram, Alluri Sitaramaraju, chanakya chandragupta , shivaranjani, etc to contemporary movies like atta nee koduku jagratta . Cinare also wrote dialogues for the movie "Ekavira".
# Cinare has written hundreds of songs for many Telugu movies, although in quantity he has written less songs than many other filmi lyricists, his songs are highly popular. It was heard in an interview that he prefers to write few good songs than many cheap songs, hence he prefers to write only for a few selected movies rather than a whole bunch.

Gurajada Venkata Appa Rao (1862-1915): Hailed as the father of Modern Telugu literature, G.V.Appa Rao blazed a new trail in play-writing as also in poetry and short story Kanyasulkam (Bride-Price) is one of his outstanding plays. It was the harbringer of modernism of Telugu literature.
Sri Gurajada Apparao was a social reformer, poet, writer, philosopher, and a friend. He was born in 1863 in Rayavaram of Visakhapatnam distt.. He graduated from the Maharaja's College (MR COLLEGE) of Vizianagaram, the so called VIDYANAGARAM of ANDHRA where he synthesized de novo the greatest of his writings which are superb, unforgettable, and immortal. "dESamanTE maTTika'dOy - dESamanTE manushulOy" has had been shacking the hearts of every Telugu soul, whether literate or illiterate.
The style of Gurajada's poetry, neither pedantic nor enigmatic, but was the purest, crystal clear, lucid, and vivaceous. His poems awaken the weeklings even and energize them. Gurajada's intellectual creativity gave us a keepsake, historical landmark, and a precious literary diamond - "KANYASULKAM" play.
It is one and the only book in Telugu in which dedication and preface were written in English (there may be others in existence, but they mushroomed afterwards). On the 13th of August, 1992, "Kanyasulkam" celebrated its 100th birthday, eversince it was staged for the first time.
"Kanyasulkam" centenary celebrations were held at Gurajada's residence in Vizianagaram. Poets and writers from various places in Andhra held literary discourses on Gurajada's works. On the 76th death anniversary of Sri Gurajada, Sri Jonnalagadda Somayajulu and his party performed the "Kanyasulkam" play. Sri Jonnalagadda Ramanamurty, well known for his Girisam role in the play, was honored.
Sri Gurajada wrote the "Kanyasulkam" in 1869 for an excellent cause - social reformism. Girls at ten years of age were married to men of 65 years of age or older in return the girls' parents used to receive a sum of Rs 1000/- or more. This unfortunate act of selling young girls who did not either attain mental maturity or puberty to men (ready to be buried under 6 feet of mud) performed by their ignorant parents can be envisioned in this play, even now. No where in this entire world, a play like this or similar to this, was ever written.
One will be surprised to know that the era of Modern Telugu Literature was born from Gurajada's pen and his "Kanyasulkam". "Kanyasulkam" was performed for the first time by the "Jagannadha Vilasini Sabha" of Vizianagaram in 1892.
