The Bull In The City [ 'Nagaramlo Vrushabham' ] Comments

Hi Dinesh, I have read about Sri Sri and his writes, mainly poems. But reading him for the first time. You have chosen a very beautiful and relevant poem- relevant even today. Thank you for that. I have not read the original, though I do read/understand a little Telugu. So I can not comment on the translation. But definitely, the poem is rendered beautifully. Congratulations.10++

Wonderful translation and a great tribute to a great poet....

The Bull is obviously very wise. Interesting Dinesh.

Thank you Dinesh for a beautiful translation. Sri Sri is my favorite poet. The power of his poems is immense. The Bull in the City is indicative of all the obstructions we have for normal passage of time.

Thank you Rajeshji, Deepakji, Geetha and Madam Valsa for your comments. Madam Valsa, the bull will surely move away. The argument is the modern man has no right to frighten or coerce it away from where it stands because he has to move faster. Nature has not asked him to be a slave to time and enslave the other living beings as he longs to. Here the notion is not to leave the animal as it likes. But there are times it is' handled' by man for himself.

A beautiful translation....! But how long can the bull be allowed to stand in the middle of a road and that too in the heart of a city is a debatable issue! So you are a linguist... proficient in Telugu too! !

Thank you for sharing with us the Deep and Insightful poem by great Poet Srirangam Srinivasarao [Sri Sri ]. This poem carries an indepth meaning, where the bull represents many characters. The ending is true in all the sense You say “the bull has no sense” “What about you, hey man? ”.....I loved reading each lines and Thanks for translation this beautiful poem.

First I must bow my head to Srirangam Srinivasarao, the greatest Telgu poet ever in reverence.......this poem is very insightful and a satire on industrial transition in 1950's as depicted here...Dineshji......thanks for sharing such rare poems of great poets of yesteryears.......I love reading these poems....

Though we have hear of bull in the China shop, but this one is lying right in the center of the road with an anti-industrialist attitude. A serious poem with a great sense of humor. Being a non-telugu I won't be able to read the original telugu version, but I am quite sure that you have done justice to the poem with your excellent translation. Keep the good work going.
