Have Tools; will blog in Telugu
I am greatly excited. I discovered a new website with complete set of tools to communicate in telugu. When I started using a computer in the mid-ninties, there was only one Telugu Editor, written by a person called Srinivas Sirigina, and it came about on his efforts alone. It's a pity that so many IT minds working are from Andhra and very few of them did anything to take Telugu into the next wave of computer and internet technologies( I am definitely not one of them). There were a few of them coming up with their own editors, trasformers from RTS into Unicode but there wasn't any proper standard. With the Indian government intervention, this might change. I've downloaded all the tools that are available on the site and just started a new telugu blog called మరో ప్రపంచం. If anybody who reads by blog is interested and are able to read telugu, I invite you to మరో ప్రపంచం.
