I am bathula VV apparao, (to be called by surname ‘bathula’), male, 64. My mother tongue is Telugu. I am residing in Hyderabad, Telangana State, India. Deeply interested in pun, fun, satire, r(h)ymes, play of words, short poems by name Chill'y's', coining new words, meanings, phrases, syno(nym)s, anto(nym)s, ab(b)reviations, spel(l)ing reforms, both in Telugu & English. I wish al(l) languages become 'r(h)ym'guages that is with ful(l) of r(h)ymes, consonance & al(l)iteration, etc. I cal(l) myself 'al(l)iterate', since I am fond of using the “same sound several times in a smal(l) sentence”, tho(ugh) (not a tongue twister). Now writing a bi-lingual e-book with the titles 'My Xperiments vith English & Paita Mana Samskriti in Telugu [meaning paita is our culture. Paita is the up(p)er end of a sari/saree (1-piece measuring 5 metres) that covers a woman's chest. Because of change-over to dresses by teens onwards, the chunni which is not built-in is ignored to be worn, resulting in vulgar exposure of chest].
