It's a lil low in B'lore prolly coz they eat more jowar rotis (jonna rotte).

Ya. Apart from learning Hindi, Tamilians should now start to learn to eat rotis.

Tamil can have rice for lunch, but they should have rotis or chapatis or phulkas for dinner. Having rice for both lunch and also for dinner is causing the problem in my opinion.

Does a vegetarian telugu not have rice items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

From now on will you please be specific Telengan, Andhran or Rayalaseeman. I suggest that you get 2 friends from each region to learn everything about the various people of these areas.

that is one way of looking at it but notice that the first language of the people of all regions is telugu (only excepting hyderabad where the first language could be hyderabadi).

In coastal AP also we have regions where they eat jowar, ragi, etc. "Metta chEla mOtuvAAllu rAAllu koodaa jeerninchukuntAAru" - antaaru paddy area fellows!

But the thing is, they are all so healthy and full of nutrients.

Even to make dosas, they used to use jowar instead of rice.

Overindulging on rice is comparatively recent phenomenon (last 50 years or so), prior to that, normal diet included a lot of other grains even for the folks lived in Krishna Delta region.

This poem talks about his heavy losses in Boddupalli due to Krishna river flooding, cicadas eating whatever crop is left of sesame and moong dal, and his helplessness to pay the tax of Rs. 700.

Nice, thanks for posting these. I used to think this one was about Rayalaseema because my high school Telugu teacher said so. But now I know better.

Charu, your telugu teacher seems to be right. In the last two lines, he says, sannannamu sunna summi, pannuga (?) palanaati Seema prajalandarikin.

He is saying that except for all jowar and jowar products, rice (vari annamu) is nil for Seema people. That is my understanding of the verses.

As Confuzzled dude said, Sannannamu is rice.

(Seema ppl use the word, 'sanna' for small or chinna. Sanna Pillodu=chinna pillavaadu. sannannamu=rice which is small/fine)

I get all that, but the poet is talking about palanATi sIma. That's Guntur district, Krishna river valley. My teacher used to say "rAyalasIma" instead of "palanATi sIma". "Seema" just means land or field, right? Rayalaseema is called that because of the Vijayanagara rAyalu. Konaseema is the Godavari delta, etc.

I guess before the rivers were tamed with big projects, even coastal Andhra was like Rayalaseema in terms of crops and what people could eat on a regular basis.
