2013 SANKRANTHI SAMBARALU—report by Venkatesh Adivi

Ten Years! Yes, TASA, officially started in January, 2003, has successfully flourished, grown and sustained Telugu cultural activities for 10 years in San Antonio, Texas. Incoming President Sreeram Padala, one of the TASA co-founders, started off his term with a bang. This year’s Sankranthi Sambaralu highlighted TASA’s ability to showcase the best local talent in a pleasing blend of the traditional and modern; folk and urban; song and dance;

and skits and speeches.

Usha Avula got the initial activities underway. As always, little kids scampered on to the stage to be blessed by elders with

bhogipallu, the significance ex-plained to eager listeners by Mrs. Padma Devagup-tapu. Muggula competition was already under-way. A delicious pandaga bhojanam was then served, sponsored by Pavani Express, with additional dishes contributed by several an-napurnas. Sambar and sweet pongal came in for special praise. Then it was time to officially

start off the cultural program.

Chaya Patamalla and Shridevi Papineni, as hosts for the evening, opened the cultural program with an invocation song and festival song. This was followed by a classical dance, Brahmam Okkate, very pleasingly choreographed and delight-fully performed by little kids. A movie song and then it was on to a telugu skit, Balu and Mahalakshmi. The Jathiswaram classical dance next showcased the stu-dents’ talent and dedication to the art

form.

One of TASA’s early initiatives is the Telugu Badi, which has been ably supported by several teachers and housed initially at the Alamo Analytical Labs, and now the Little Cherub Child Care as the student’s strength has grown over time. Telugu Badi kids practice and exhibit their language and cultural skills admira-bly in TASA cultural activities. This time was no

exception. A Sankranthi dance and later a Balanandam hasya naatika, Madata Kurchi, were much appreciated by the audience. Sev-eral more dances and songs followed. A break in the proceedings allowed the President to introduce his new Executive Committee and felicitate the outgoing President, Murthy Pata-malla. To conclude the evening’s activities, Usha Avula proposed the Vote of Thanks and expressed TASA’s appreciation to all the spon-

sors and volunteers.
