Da Vinci... I agree with you. I am a Tamilian who loves Telugu .. I can't read or write Telugu at all. But I have great respect for Telugu langauge and all my Telugu friends are so intelligent. I can speak Telugu koncham koncham :-). Even the great Tamil freedom fighter Subramanya Bharathi spoke of the sweetness of Telugu. My mother told me about this. Telugu is the amongst the 20 most spoken langauges (speakers population wise) in this world. Telugus are ruling the Indian Real Estate scene now and even the Mumbai Int'l Airport is being made by GMR Group. The World's Largest Apartment tower.. the 100 storey Lanco Towers is being built in Hyderabad. Long live Telugu. Long live Tamil, Long live Hindi. Long live all languages of India.
