I am quite surprised how our Hod's and directors are asking us to stand with KL on the current issue...

Arey enni suisides ochina kooda okka vishayam bayataki ranivvaru🤨 fees lakhs to lakhs dengutharu, emaina pani untey campus motham akkadiki vellu ikkadiki vellu antaaru... Ela adagaali anipisthundhi ra Meeku??

Malli chesindhi langa pani... Karma is a real bitch. Watch out for it...

P.S : KL university, Vijayawada

So i am telugu american and now realized i have had a very traditional telugu household compared to many other indian people i meet. I speak read and write telugu. Been watching telugu movies and listening to telugu songs for as long as i can remember. I barely knew a word of hindi except a few songs. Never watched a bollywood movie other than english vinglish (i think my parents were sridevi fans so we watched that)and never felt the need to coz most of my indian get togethers were with fellow telugu americans.

But things changed when i went to college. I had gujju friends before but didn't know a single thing about their culture or any north indian culture. I go to college with a significant indian presence and they all love only talking about bollywood films and songs. Many indians from india would assume i spoke or understood hindi and knew all bollywood references. They also had a bit of a disappointing reaction when i said can't even understand a word. There are so many things that are unfamiliar to me and my indian friends call me whitewashed for that. All other south indians i met mostly seemed to not be as clueless as me

It was just a weird feeling coz i ofc knew hindi influence is huge but i never felt it before. I didn't even know what garbha was. It was a huge culture shock and i felt really out of place with my indian friends.

Telugu pop culture is huge in india at the moment yet so many times fellow indians i met sometimes don't even know there's a language called telugu. Some even say vanakkam to me when i mention telugu. Some people think naatu naatu is a tamil song.

I know telugu isn't as big as hindi but punjabi and gujju culture is always more mainstream esp in america. and despite a significant telugu diaspora it is still relatively much more unfamiliar.

Even popular indian americans in pop culture are either punjabi, tamil or gujju though telugus out number both punjabi and tamil. Does anyone else feel underrepresented in the indian community?

Is this a common experience to my fellow telugu americans on this sub? I kinda feel compelled to know hindi to be accepted within "my own" community. I hate that the indian national language politics make it to USA too.

I'm 45F travelling in a train to Hyderabad. Lower berth dorakaledhu so kindha lower berth lo sinthakai lanti abbai kanipinchadu, line esthunnadu naaku, so seat adigina ventane ichhesadu.

Was going through the archives of 9/11. I stumbled upon a story ,of Prasanna and Vamsikrishna. They married in 1999 Jan. Vamsikrishna died in the 9/11 attacks. A month later Prasanna committed suicide leaving one note to her brother stated: "I love Vamsi [Vamiskrishna] too much and the pain is excruciating[.] I am not able to deal with it. If there exists any form after this life I will be with him[;] if not at least it will relieve me from this deep pain."

The second note, to Vamsikrishna's brother, and stated: "I am doing this since I love Vamsi too much and I don't want to make my life without him." The audio recording for her family stated: "I can't live without Vamsi, Sekhar. It's very tough for me. I loved him too much. I don't feel like... I don't feel like living for anyone. I'm sorry, but I loved him too much. And the pain... just can't take the pain. Hurts me too much"

Love in the 90s. People didn’t have as many distractions or coping mechanisms; their emotions were laid bare, and their relationships often formed the very core of their existence.

I was in tears reading about this. Thought of sharing.
