TANA ----TANDANA

TANA ----TANDANA:
First of all, these are my personal opinions and not intended to hurt anyone opinions/feelings.
For the past few days, I have been going through emails/articles/responses from TANA committee members and President.
The whole point in forming a “non profit” organization is (or may be) to help, guide, and assist people. What is TANA doing? To my knowledge I have never heard of any charity work being done nor any form of financial assistantship to any Telugu(s). I have heard TANA in news only when a political party in Hyderabad mentions them and that too news related to politics. If it is non profit why the (hell) are committee members associated or aligned with political parties. I am not saying association with a particular political party is wrong. My point is if you are associated with a non profit organization like TANA, a committee member should NOT take TANA position as advantage to get political mileage.

Coming from Andhra Pradesh, I always wanted to mingle with people from my state and be active in my community to help people. Whenever I mentioned this to my colleagues and friends to join TANA, all I heard was TANA is full of politics.

Why should we have differences in an alien land? Can’t we be united to help each other? Why can’t TANA have a website (or fund a website) where employers can post job requirements which might be helpful for other Telugus in the community. Almost 1 in 3 of Telugu people has some sort of business in USA. 2 in 3 are willing to help other people in need. Why can’t TANA provide assistance for people out job by helping them with recruiting process? Leave all this, I NEVER heard TANA”s name when AP students are killed in USA and need financial assistance to deliver their bodies to India.
“Ooru kani ooru viccchi enduku manaki ee panikirani rajakeeyalu”…
The whole point of the present conflict as I understand is change of TANA’s venue place from Florida to Chicago. Don’t we have anything better to fight about?
Think about collecting funds to have bore wells in villages. Think about starting schools for poor children in AP. If an organization like TANA comes up with these activities, it will develop a trust in people who are willing to donate for a noble cause.
Last but not least, let’s stand united to help our community and each other rather than waste our most valuable time in pursuing worthless personal egos.
