MOVING THOUGHTS A scene from the play
Komali Kala Samithi of Nalgonda was invited to stage their playlet Sarihaddu (Border) at Ravindra Bharati, last week by Srikalaniketan to mark its 42nd anniversary celebrations, which alsocoincided with the Telugu Theatre Day.

After growing up and then learning who his real mother is and where she lives, Ramu gets back to India and finds her. Their reunion was a scene of thrill and joy. . He wants to stay back with his mother. But the latter won't accept saying that the love of the woman who brought him up all these years is equally great. The foster mother would suffer the same way she suffered all through these years, after she lost him. Annapoornamma, his real mother, finally succeeds in convincing him and sends him back to his foster parents.
The dialogue between mother and son was quite moving. Writer Govada Venkat Rao himself played the role of Imran. In other roles were M.L. Narasimha Rao, L.K. Lekhananda Swamy, Ramapathi, and G.L. Kumar. T. Venkateswarlu and others.
