Veturi Sundarrama Murthy

Veturi Sundararama Murthy Garu..

My idol.The stalwart who spurred the thought in me, to pen my inner feelings, in the form of songs..

For a long time[pre-2006], the name "Veturi" was just a 6-letter word V-E-T-U-R-I.

Little did i know that he can influence my life in such big way..

Little did i know that there is a poet in me..

Little did i know that music will be more dearer to me..

Little did i know that i will cry for him one day..

and Little did i know that he will leave such a big void in my life......

It was 2006, when my favv actor Raja's movie MAYABAZAAR had its audio released.

Moreover the music was by the-then famous MD - KM Radhakrishnan.

Me being a big time music zealot, wasted no time in downloading the mp3s of the album.

Soon i was in trance listening to one of the most enchanting melodies. The songs " Preme Neramouna Brovabhaarama" and "Sarojadhalanetri" had just left a big impact on me.

The lyrics were truly mesmerising and the bliss was cascaded by curiousity to know the lyricist of these songs.It was V-E-T-U-R-I!!

The thought-process-line in me had shifted by 180 degrees and suddenly the six letter word seemed more meaningful and complete.

This was the trigger point, that made me take up, the art of pouring our feelings [transformed into words] onto the white sheet. And suddenly the white sheet seemed colourful. :)

I started to write small 4-line poems.. Or max 6-7 lines.. and this went on for many days.. Slowly but surely my writing skills went on improving.. These days i am in a position to pen complete songs.. The true inspiration behind all these is certainly Veturi garu.. Everytime any new music album releases, the first thing i do is to check if my idol has penned any songs in that album.. It feels so pathetic now to learn that all new music albums will no more have his name embedded on the CD......

From 2006, i have googled a lot and digged out all his songs starting from 1970 till date.. i observed that all major hits were penned by the prodigy himself.. To name a few.. Shankarabharanam, Geetanjali, Anand, Godavari, Maatrudevobhava, Happydays Title Track, Annamayya, Gangotri, Sri Ramadasu,Roja etc etc....... the list goes on...........

Music got its complete meaning with Veturi.. A person with 8 Nandi Awards needs no explanation.

With my humble salutation, i sincerely pray that he lives in all our hearts forever.......

A song that moves me to tears penned by Veturi.............
