TASA DASARA 2011 REPORT by Venkatesh Adivi The day after the Navarathri pujas concluded

at the temple on Vijaya Dasami day, the Telugu Asso-

ciation of San Antonio (TASA) capped the Dassera

celebrations with a rousing cultural event at the Ma-

halakshmi Hall on Friday, October 7th, 2011. A deli-

cious pandaga bhojanam efficiently served by volun-

teers greeted arriving attendees. The evening’s pro-

ceedings started off with TASA’s annual General

Body Meeting (GBM) that included a brief overview

of the year’s activities and upcoming events by TASA

President, Murthy Patamalla, and a review of TASA’s finances by Treasurer, Bapiraju

Surampudi. The GBM concluded with no ques-

tions from the members.

The cultural program started with Telugu

Badi kids below 7 years singing about achchulu

and hallulu. Kids over 8 years old then took turns

speaking about the significance of Dassera. The

Telugu Badi presentation concluded with some

padyalu and sametalu. The audience expressed

their appreciation for the effort expended by the

kids to learn to speak in Telugu and memorize

Telugu poems and lines. New LIFE members Dr.

Nanda Kishore, Raghupal Mada and Mallikarjun

Ganji awarded trophies to the participants.

A rare treat awaited dance aficionados. Dr.

Sreedhara Akkihebbalu, of Kaveri Natya Yoga,

himself performed “Narasimha nanu brovara”. Set

to a beautiful composition in Atana raga and Mishra

Chapu tala, Dr Sreedhara’s interpretation captured

all the fury and rage of the Narasimha avatara.

When he appears to disembowel Hiranyakashipu,

you see the half-man, half-lion breathing heavily

after the effort. The expressions on Dr Sreedhara’s

face transport the viewer to the scene and through

the range of emotions even as, after killing the de-

mon, Vishnu appears in all his glory to Prahalada.

Following this enchanting performance, Gold Spon-

sors Dr. Ravi and Mrs. Vijaya Botla presented the

felicitation trophy to Dr. Sreedhara.

The event that all of the audience was ea-

gerly awaiting finally arrived. A deep, backstage

voice rumbled through the hall and Anuj Gurwara

bounded on to the stage. Clad in jeans and t-shirt,

with an iPod strapped to his elbow, Anuj came

out singing “Bangaru Kodipetta” and followed

soon by “Panchadara Bomma”, from the movie

“Magadheera”, the song that made him famous

and catapulted him to the top of the Telugu music

industry heap. Kausalya, famous Telugu playback

singer in her own right, joined him soon, and

what followed was two hours of almost continu-

ous, non-stop entertainment.

The energy in the hall reached unprecedented

levels, with Anuj bouncing off-stage frequently and run-

ning through the aisles and encouraging members of au-

dience to get on stage with him to sing and dance. As

promised, he had every one of all ages participating, with

his “Baccha Party” fill-

ing the stage and groov-

ing to fast numbers. An invitation to couples to the

stage brought six energetic, young at heart pairs show-

ing off their moves. Anuj, a non-Telugu who grew up

in Hyderabad,

thinks in Hindi,

reads his lyrics

in English, and

sings in Telugu, also mixed in a few Hindi songs

to the delight of many in the audience. As a token

of San Antonio’s appreciation, Grand Sponsors

V.K. Orthodontics’ Dr. Saritha Chary-Reddy and

C.S. Reddy Meka presented felicitation trophies

to the artists.
