Gidugu's birthday

Medepalli seshu from New Delhi just reminded me that today is the birthday of Gidugu Venkata Ramamoorty:
"Sri Gidugu Ramamoorty is the grandfather of “colloquial telugu language movement a.k.a vyavaharika telugu bhasha”. He has brought literary prose to the colloquial language. He explained the beauty and ease in the colloquial telugu."
P.S. From The Hindu report:
"The Andhra Pradesh Official Language Commission has asked the district Collectorates and educational institutions to celebrate Telugu Language Day on August 29, coinciding with the birth anniversary of renowned Telugu language scientist Gidugu Ramamurthy."
