Siraj, the interview is in Telugu, and Raju has done a good job with its translation.
Thanks Raju for the translation. But I think you've missed a mention at Indian philosophy.. He says.. మరొకరి కోసం మనం దేవుడికి విన్నవించుకోవడమనేది చాలా గొప్ప విషయం. మన భారతీయ ధార్మిక సూత్రాల్లో ఉన్నది అదే.. The translation is: Pleading to the God for the sake of others is a great thing to do. That is what the Indian philosophy says.. -- On 8/30/07, Siraj K <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry Raju...
