About

A life given to the Telugu language

Varahalu Komarthi is a native Telugu speaker and lifelong student of language, also fluent in English and Hindi. As a Telugu teacher, he has spent years passing on the language to others — its grammar, its literature, and the rhythm that makes its poetry sing.

His work reaches beyond the classroom: writing original poetry and lyrics, and working as a translator and language corrector, refining and carrying meaning accurately across Telugu, English, and Hindi.

Selected Works

Poetry

A small selection from his collection — more to be added as they're transcribed from handwritten pages.

01

"వానల్లు కురవాలి"

Vaanallu Kuravaali — "Let the Rains Fall"

గాలివాటము దెలిపే గగనదేవుని కటాక్షంబు మేఘు ఘర్జనలు దెలిపె వరుణదేవుని కరుణా వీక్షణంబు మట్టి వాసనలు దెలిపె సుదూర తీరాన వర్ష తాండవంబు ! వేడిగాలుల ఉక్కుబోతలకు ప్రజలు ఉసురుసురుమని దీర్ఘాలు తీయంగ అరుదెంచెనంత ఆకాశగంగ ఆబాలగోపాలము హర్షంబు తెలుప !
In brief An invocation for rain — the wind, the thundercloud, and the scent of wet earth carrying Varuna's mercy toward a land that has been waiting, until the sky itself finally answers.
02

"Good Samaritan"

On kindness that asks for nothing

మంచితనం అప్రతిహాతముగ మించి చెలరేగి పోతుంటే మానవత్వ విలువలు చెలియలికట్టదాటిసాగిపోతుంటే ప్రతి మనసు తోటలో మంచితనపు పూలు వెల్లివిరుస్తుంటే అడగనిదే అమ్మైనా పెట్టదంటారే అడగకుండానే సాటి మనిషికి మనిషి సహాయం చేసేస్తూ ఉంటే మింగుడు పడక మిడిగుడ్లేసుకుని దేవుళ్ళు దిగాలు పడరే మానవ సేవయే మాధవసేవని నుడివినందుకు మనసున నొచ్చుకొనరే !
In brief Goodness overflowing every boundary, kindness blooming unasked in each heart — and even the gods, the poem says, take no offense at being told that service to another is service to the divine.

A third poem, "ప్రేమరాజ్యం," exists in handwritten form and will be added once transcribed.
