1977
What a year!
We had the first Non-congress elected govt.in India.
George Fernandez pressured the govt into lifting the Baroda Dynamite case against him as a precondition for joining the Cabinet as a minister. Then he chased Coke out of the country.
We had our first Indigenous cola drink "77".
"Come August" SLK was born (incidentally her mother was born the next day, albeit 25 yrs before: and the first of nexgen Singampallis was born a week later but 2 yrs before. What a week! for other events in August see the calender below.)
And the Uthpathams like "Divi Seema cyclone" happened in November that year. More than 10,000 people died.
What a year!
Happy Birth Day Krupa!

Ekaveera
I recently found eTV broadcasting this movie. This is a classic book by Viswanatha Satyanarayana that I was fortunate to find online.
http://new-rare-e-books.blogspot.com/2010/05/ekaveera-viswanadha-satyanarayana.html
I read the book and then watched the movie.
This is the story of two friends who unwittingly marry each other's lovers and suffer the consequences. To me, it was a little too melodramatic. However, the premise was not too far fetched. What was interesting was the difference between how the male and female protagonists deal with the situation.
The females readily accept the situation and adjust to life with their respective spouses. The males however, one pines for the lost love and the other is burned by jealousy .
In general, why do women so easily adapt to circumstances? Is it cultural, rational or emotional? Is it nature or is it nurture?
That debate aside, the film has excellent songs by SiNaRe and Devulapalli and the famous duet of SPB and Ghantasala.
