Sri City, September 23, 2023: A literary event conducted on Saturday in Sri City featured Mr. Annadata Mani, often referred to as Praasa Mani (Rhyming Mani), as its chief guest. Mr. Mani is well celebrated for talks that are loaded with witty and lovely rhyming lines in Telugu. The event was hosted by Sri City’s Spiritual & Literary Forum Srivani at the premises of Sri Prasanna Venkateswara Temple, situated at the vast, luscious nursery.
Rhyme, a key element in Telugu poetry and literature, has been used for centuries to create emotional resonance. Mr. Mani, renowned for his Telugu oratory skills, delivered a lecture on ‘Prakruti odilo parisramalu‘. His mastery of the Nellore Telugu dialect made his discourse captivating, with his effortless delivery and witty acronyms drawing laughter from the audience. His unique style of rhyming words and witty acronyms made his speech memorable.
Dr. Ravindra Sannareddy, Founder Managing Director, Sri City, thanked Mr. Mani for his participation in the event, saying, “Taking cue from the adage ‘laughter is the best medicine,’ we organised this programme.” Mr. Mani captivated the audience by peppering his speech with prudent phrasing, hilarious wordplay, and catchy alliterations and rhymes. His message, which underscores Sanatana Dharma, family values, and interpersonal relationships, is extremely significant and relevant to today’s culture.”
