Telugu New Year Celebrations 2005
The Telugu New Year (Ugadi) will be celebrated this year on April 9 (Saturday). A grand function has been planned for, at the Nagabhushani Amman Temple (near Frankfurt West Bahnhof). It is being organized under the auspices of Telugu Velugu Association, Germany. They are the ones who have also been organizing various festivals (Diwali, Dusshera, etc.) in the past.
There may probably be an entrance fee of € 5 for students (€ 8 for others). Anyway just keep in touch with me (Bhuvan) for further updates. Students of FH Darmstadt may also contact Ms. Sridevi Gollapalli of M.Sc. Electrical Engg. WS 2004 batch. Her husband Mr. Immanuel Gollapalli is the General Secretary of the Association, in-charge of organizing the function.
As part of the function, various cultural events have been planned (à la Dusshera / Diwali celebrations), as also Dinner (read F-O-O-D). All are invited to the celebrations.

found a mistake mate...u say Ms. for a married person huh :-) ?
No mate, it is not a mistake. The address 'Ms.' is used not for a married or unmarried lady. Rather, it is precisely used against this critical problem - when a lady does not want to let known her marital status. If she is married, she is 'Mrs'. Else 'Miss'. But if she is divorced, or if she does not want to reveal her status, then it is custom that people use 'Ms.'.
In fact, this is a recent custom, having its origins probably in the Feminism / Woman's Liberation Movement. Ladies naturally asked the question: "When for a man, the address 'Mr.' does not reveal if he is married or not, why then use such a thing as 'Mrs'. or 'Miss' for a woman revealing her marital status? We will use the ambiguous 'Ms.' just like men use 'Mr.'"
Well, I am not sure if this is the origin, but sounds reasonable. Anyway, I hope you were not mistaken between the 'Ms.' used here and the 'M/s.' used for 'Messrs.' - as used commonly for a group of men or a firm run jointly by a group of men.
Anyway, thanx a lot for commenting on the post, and please keep visiting this and my other blog Ger'Mania' @ the address: http://ger-mania.blogspot.com.
Cheers.
