Pinakapani, Nookala and Nedanuri all gone in about 1 year span. This is a big loss to Telugus.

In one of SPB's Padutha Theeyaga shows, Carnatic singer Unnikrishnan was his guest. It seems Unnikrishnan's great-grandfather was from Ongole, and he set up the Kesari High School in Madras (Mullapudi Venkataramana, Bapu, and some other famous people were its Alumni). He also derived an ayurvedic formulation called "Lodhra" for women who face problems during their monthly cycles. Lodhra took off, and he became rich. Unnikrishnan still runs that Lodhra business along with his singing avocation. Unfortunately. he started learning Telugu only recently, just so he could read and enjoy his great-grandfather's autobiography.
