Tears of the Heart (Naani)

(Naani-Expression of one and all) A tearful heart mourns, In dire circumstances. Yet, the same heart when gladdened Shall shed joyful tears... [The Naani is one of India's most popular Telugu poetic forms, consiting of 4 lines and a 20 to 25 syllabic count. It is not bound to a particular subject. Generally, it depends upon human relations and current statements.]
