Why Telangana? Well I may not be the right person to even address this issue, but my voracious reading helped me at-least come out with some interesting arguments and counter arguments. Why Telangana ! The SRC (State Reorganisation Committee) setup in 1953 was in favour of a separate state of Telangana due to reasons like unwillingness of the people of the region, less developed economy, misgivings about the people of Andhra etc… Even ‘ The Gentleman’s Agreemen t’ ( Th is ag reement provided safeguards with the purpose of preventing discrimination against Telangana by the government of Andhra Pradesh ) failed to pacify the feelings of the people and discontent arose within years of integration. Discontent also intensified in 1969, the year when guarantees specified in the agreement were supposed to lapse.

The world started fresh anew, When again by chance, I met you. You were still the same... perfection personified, And then I knew I cant live without you. This time for a change, you showed some warmth, Atleast made me think, I still got a chance The feelings however were not very strong, But being the optimist, as I am, I always thought life still had a chance So after many friendly talks and laughter riots, I finally decided to bare it all, The reason was simple, a fearful thought: "That one day some man will snatch my soul, that had already become yours afterall" I could not bear the thought night long, So in a sunny afternoon, I opened my heart, and let the feelings flow out like a stream They sang, they rhymed, they spoke in soft tones, They told you how emotions had gone so strong.

I spent sleepless nights, I spent sleepy days, I watched many couples ...
