Nostalgia: Sri Sri’s Poem On New Year and Alcohol

That was Ugadi and Akasvani (AIR) called for various poets to sing poems on that Telugu New Year. Funnily, Sri Sri, who revolutionized Telugu poetry was also fond of alcohol. The New Year’s name was ‘Rakshasa’. He sang this poem on Radio then:

“Vacchaava Rakshasaa Raa
Thechchaavaa Draaksha Saaraa
Raamma Nootana Samvatsaramma
Nuvvu Techchinadentamma? Jinna?? Rumma??”
