Ye gaajar ka mausam hai mitwa
Ab ghar pe banega iska halwa
Doodh aur ghee mein pakaaiye
Elaichi cheeni daaliye
Kaju Baadam daal ke khaaiye halwa
Sardiyon mein khaaiye garam garam halwa
Recently, A R Rahman released the Chikiri Chikiri song from the upcoming movie Peddi. While the song and movie will be released in multiple languages, the original song and movie is in Telugu. The song became an instant hit with it's catchy tune and the choreography that Ram Charan pulled off with elan.
But while humming Chikiri, I could not help notice the rhyming similarity to Chicory - an ingredient that is added to coffee to reduce it's bitterness. And people add Chicory in different quantities. Some commercial brands add as much as 40% chicory to reduce bitterness and the price of coffee. So, that led me thinking - is it possible to recreate Chikiri by replacing it with Chicory? And after some thought, it happened.
So, here is Chicory... Enjoy it!
Poddunney lechaaka
Coffee padithey o chukka

Koncham Chicory tho coffee adirenu ta
Poddunney lechaaka
Manchi Coffee padithey pakka
Pani cheseseyacchu enchakka

When the world came to a standstill due to Coronavirus, and the government announced the first lockdown in March 2020, we all stayed at home (remember?). There was no vaccine back then. Everyone was advised to stay home, maintain social distancing and wash hands when they touched someone or something. The fear was real. Then an idea came to me. Why not create a song that was as informational/ educational and equally entertaining as well. That is when "Baboi Corona" happened.
I wrote the below lyrics and sang it to the tune of "Oh My God Daddy" from Ala Vaikuntapuramulo which was a craze at that point. Hope you all can relate to it and enjoy it.
Naa story cheppalenu
Naa baadhakanthu ledhu
Janaalu andarendhukintha
meedha paduthunnaru
Maata vinipinchukoru
Assalu artham chesukoru
Aalochisthe Corona peru
Raaluthundi naa hairuu
Corona test cheyyamante
Manamemanna rich ah
Vachi muttukomante
Emaina picchaa
Anukuntu daakkuntu
Nenu intikocchaa
Andharinta same scene
Emantaav chicchaa
[RAP ENDS]
Baboi Corona
Dhada putte gundellonaa

Social distancing antu
Govt cheppindi vintu
Chetulu kadukkuntu
Chesa ney fight day and night-u
Oh oh oh twenty secondsu
Oh oh oh hand washingu...
Virus ni o chitti
country lo aapaleru
Intha thakku time lo
mandhu kanibettaleru
Swechakemi shortcut
Kanipettaledhu ottu
Kaadhante nannu thittu
Ledha na jattu kattu
Pillalni sanitize
cheyyamani cheppa

bayatiki ellamanaku chiccha
serious ga teesukomani
cheppaleka chachaa
unna okka zindagi
jagrathagundu machaa
