The Land of Goolties

While travelling in the gooltie( telugu) land don’t get surprised to see the spellings of names like Shanthi, Kavitha, Saradha, Latha, Arathi ……to what I call as the “H” Factor. Any name ending with the ‘TA’ or ‘TI’ phonetics will have ‘H” in the spelling. And if you don’t write it properly you have to face the music. They are very particular about it.
A friend from Vijaywada told me that stand in any street in the city and call “Rama Rao” or “Subba Rao” you will see at least ten people will respond to you. You can understand how many Rama’s and Subba’s are there in this land. For females it will be Laksmi everywhere ..……. ......Asta Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Rama Lakshmi, Naga Lakhsmi, Venkata Lakshmi, Kanaka Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi…….offffffff……Even my sister wanted her daughter to be named as Maha Lakshmi…..but somehow changed her idea. Go to any market and see the names of the shops and complexes, I am sure that at least everywhere you will see the name “Sai”. It will be Sai Ram Parlour, Sai Baba Enterprise, Sai Ram Brothers etc., with a prefix of Sai on the name.
Another friend had taken his coaching in Guntur and his classmates from Guntur wanted to come to Orissa for a vacation. He was very confused and tensed about their food because even if you give them the raw green chilies of Orissa to eat, they will say that it is sweet. So, think how much of chilly they consume.
Any flop movie in this land will at least run for 50 days and after water if any thing else which is necessary for them to live is ‘Flowers’.
