Navvu - Devarakonda Balagangadhara Tilak

 I recently listened to Kiran Prabha’s narration of Devarakonda Balagangadhara Tilak’s short story Navvu on his podcast. Tilak, an influential Telugu poet and writer, is renowned for his unique writing style and significant contributions to Telugu literature. His works often blend romantic and progressive themes, showcasing his literary prowess.


Navvu explores themes of resilience and human behavior through the life of Ramachandra Rao, a man who embraces laughter as his response to life’s challenges. The narrative delves into the reasons behind his distinctive behavior, offering readers a profound exploration of human resilience.


The plot is captivating, but what truly stood out was Tilak’s masterful use of the Telugu language. Words and phrases like Saptami Vennela, neerenda, and thelivaina veluthuru lend richness to the narrative. Kiran Prabha’s narration beautifully preserves these nuances while adding his own experiences, which makes the episode even more delightful.


Despite being written decades ago, Navvu remains relevant today, addressing timeless themes of human nature and resilience. Both Tilak’s original story and Kiran Prabha’s narration offer valuable insights into enduring human experiences.
