Why the blog name "sramati"? Pretty weird reason actually. Try to follow me here, as this is rather convoluted...
My name is S.Ramana. Sonti Ramana in the long, Indian form (so-called last name first). Sramana is the shortened form. "Sramana" is not a valid word in Telugu, my mothertongue (at least that I know of). However, a closely related word is "sramati". It means, among other things, "river" and "that which flows". Blogs are apparently supposed to flow, a slice of one's stream of consciousness. Hence the name "sramati". Hopefully, that's what my blog will do, provide you a glimpse into what I have in my mind. You can never dip into the same river twice as they say, but you will find a lot of oft-thought things in this blog. Some plain, some trite, some ribald, occasionally even original, these thoughts are all me, all the same...
enjoyed your madhushala.! with tata. captive no.3.
