A Surprise Inclusion of Song in Syllabus
Send us your feedback to audioarticles@vaarta.com
It is a song on eroding human values in the insensitive world. The song Maayamai Pothundamma Manishanavadu penned by lyricist Dr Andesri for the film Erra Samudram has inspired the university syllabus committee to include it in the Telugu second year graduation text books for the next academic year starting in 2009.
This is the third song to feature in Telugu syllabi after Maa Telugu Thalliki and Telugu Jathi Manadi in the 77 years of Telugu cinema. Interestingly, both songs were from the pens of the literary giants Sankarambadi Sundaracharyulu and C Narayana Reddy respectively and both subsequently became film songs. However Maa Telugu Thaliki first became a state anthem then was used in the film Bullet while CNR's celebration of Telugu pride and unity was initially heard in the film Thalla Pellama before attracting the attention of academicians and the state government.
The author of the song Andesri received honorary doctorate from Kakatiya University was happy to add another feather in the cap after the inclusion of song in the syllabus.
The other part of reality is that leading lyricists are eager to challenge the song but lack with ample opportunity to create such pieces because directors are not providing suitable situations in any films.
