(Reference. Theis poem was first publsihed in 'jalapAtAlu' anthology, by
pragati sAhiti, 1978. I got it from "khALI sIsAlu - a literary miscellany"
published by the author in 1995).

The author Smile was at TANA 95 during which occasion, his
anthology khaaLee seesaalu was released, and TANA distributed this book
in USA.. Nasy was too busy to notice it at the TANA bookstall at the 1996
TAGDV function. If any body wants this book, write a check for $7
and send it to me at V. Chowdary Jampala, 664 Southern Belle Boulevard,
Beavercreek, OH 45434.

PS: Smile also published a small anthology of his verses and haikus in a
small volume called 'okhaDE'. That is not available here.
