Dear Telugu family members:
We are glad to see significant growth in the membership and
sound financials of our organization. To keep up this growth it
is essential to maintain transparency in communication within
the Governing Board and between leadership and members.
Then only members and public will recognize the importance of
TANA and every one of us would be able to share the joy of
success with love and respect. When we undermine that
transparency and respect, we see unrelated and incorrect
information flow around us.
We appreciate all our sponsors and advertisers in Patrika and
on web. Your support is essential for the growth of our
organization. We are all working hard to save the money and to
comply with federal regulations. Thanks to Mr.Dilip Kuchipudi,
chairperson for website for devoting untold number of hours to
keep up with thousands of on line membership registrations
along with routine web maintenance work. So far, we have
been operating without any salaried employees. In future, we
may need to create an administrative position to keep up with
secretarial work.
We are planning to distribute backpacks and school supplies to
about 2500 inner city schoolchildren in the beginning of coming
school year. We are also planning to support and work on Lead
India programs in Andhra Pradesh. Lead India 2020 is a
national movement to lead India as a world leader by year
2020. It is pioneered by President Dr. Abdul Kalam to excel
education and bring social consciousness in youth by using
trained students, teachers and other volunteers.
Please plan to participate in folk arts festivals in India from
December 20, 2008 to December 28, 2008. This year we are
planning to celebrate in Eluru, Vijayawada, Tallapaka and
Hyderabad. We always strive to improve our organization.
Please share your thoughts and advise.
Sincerely,
Prabhakar Choudary Kakarala

Mahatma Gandhi
You must be the change you want to see in the world.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few
drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in
their mission can alter the course of history.
A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is
unjust by accident.
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other
respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but
Truth.

Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA: Which One Is Right for You?
Ram Gali
Certified Financial PlannerTM, Vice President
UBS Financial Services Inc. , Houston 281-235-5181
[email protected]
This article is intended to provide a general discussion of traditional and Roth IRAs. Neither UBS Financial
Services Inc. nor its financial advisors provide tax or legal advice. You must consult with an attorney or tax
professional regarding your specific financial situation. The information in this article is based on sources believed
to be reliable, but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Whatever you see for yourself in retirement – whether it’s work, leisure or something in between – you’ll need
sufficient funds to ensure yourself an adequate income on which to live. It used to be that most people could rely
solely on employer-sponsored pension plans and Social Security payments to provide for a comfortable retirement.
Not so today!
More people than ever are responsible for planning and funding their own retirement, and one of the most effective
and popular retirement savings vehicles is the individual retirement account (IRA). This article provides an
overview of two different types of IRAs – the traditional IRA and the Roth IRA.
The Traditional IRA
Your savings in a traditional IRA get the benefit of tax-deferred growth until those savings are withdrawn.
Contributions may or may not be tax-deductible depending upon your income level and whether you (and your
spouse, if married) are covered by an employer’s qualified retirement plan (see below).
If you are a working individual under the age of 70½, you are eligible to contribute 100% of your earned income,
up to $5,000 in 2008, to a traditional IRA. If you are age 50 or older, you can make an additional $1,000 catch-up
contribution for the year. Single income married couples may contribute 100% of earned income up to $10,000 for
2008 (plus catch-up contributions, if eligible), although no more than $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or older) can be
contributed on behalf of any individual each year.
Contributions to a traditional IRA have always been, and remain, tax deductible for:
• Single taxpayers who are not covered by such an employer-sponsored qualified retirement plan, and
• Married couples filing jointly where neither spouse is covered by such an employer-sponsored qualified
retirement plan.
Deductibility for individuals who are covered by an employer-sponsored qualified retirement plan depends on
adjusted gross income (AGI).
IRA contributions for 2008 are fully tax deductible for:
• Single taxpayers covered by an employer-sponsored plan, if their AGI doesn’t exceed $53,000 in 2008, and
• Married individuals covered by an employer-sponsored plan, whose joint AGI doesn’t exceed $85,000 in 2008.
Tax-deductibility is phased out as AGI rises above these limits.
For 2008, if one spouse is covered by an employer-sponsored qualified retirement plan and the other is not
(whether a working or non-working spouse), the spouse who is not covered may deduct his or her IRA
contribution, as long as the couple’s joint AGI doesn’t exceed $159,000. A partial deduction is allowed for those
with AGI between $159,000 and $169,000. No deduction is allowed where the couple’s joint AGI exceeds
$169,000. Investors who do not qualify to make tax-deductible contributions can still contribute up to the annual
maximum for a particular year to a traditional IRA and benefit from the potential of tax-deferred growth.
6
Withdrawals of tax-deductible contributions, as well as all earnings, are taxed as ordinary income (withdrawals
made prior to age 59½ may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax).
The Roth IRA
The Roth IRA is similar to a traditional IRA in that earnings grow without being subject to current taxes. Eligible
taxpayers may contribute up to $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or older) of earned income to a Roth IRA for 2008. The
annual limit applies in the aggregate, whether contributions are made to a Roth IRA, a traditional IRA, or a
combination of the two. Contributions of earned income may be made to a Roth IRA on behalf of a spouse even if
he or she has little or no earned income.
However the Roth IRA is different from the traditional IRA in several important ways:
• Contributions are made only with after-tax dollars (since contributions are made after taxes, they can always be
withdrawn tax-free and penalty-free).
• Income eligibility phase-out limits for contributing to a Roth IRA for 2008 are $101,000 to $116,000 for single
taxpayers and $159,000 to $169,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly.
• There are no required minimum distributions from the Roth IRA at age 70½ (as there are with a traditional
IRA). Contributions can be made beyond age 70½, as long as there is earned income.
• Withdrawals of earnings can be made income-tax and penalty tax free if the account has existed for at least five
tax years, and any one of the following conditions is met:
1) Attainment of age 59½,
2) Disability,
3) The distribution is for the first time purchase of a home up to a lifetime limit of $10,000, or
4) Death of the accountholder.
Converting a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA
If you qualify, you may be able to convert your existing traditional IRA funds to a Roth IRA. This conversion of
assets from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA can only be done if the individual or married couple has AGI of no
more than $100,000 for the year of the conversion and the taxpayer is not a married individual filing a separate tax
return. In addition, it can only be done on an after-tax basis. Therefore, the account holder must pay ordinary
income taxes on the portion of the traditional IRA that is taxable (i.e., deductible contributions and all earnings).
Among the tax rules to be considered when converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is the important pro-rata
distribution rule1, which should be discussed with your tax advisor. (Please note that, beginning in 2010, the
$100,000 AGI limit and the tax filing status requirement described above for Roth IRA conversions will
no longer apply.)
Choosing the IRA That’s Right for You
Besides your AGI, there are a number of factors to consider before choosing between the traditional IRA
and the Roth IRA. They include your age, number of years until retirement, growth rate earned on your
investments, as well as your current and anticipated future income tax brackets. Generally, contributing
to a Roth IRA can be more advantageous than making nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA.
The two accounts are treated similarly in the year a contribution is made (i.e., no deduction is allowed),
but upon withdrawal, distributions from the Roth IRA are potentially tax-free, while taxes must be paid
on the earnings portion of the distribution from a traditional, nondeductible IRA. If you are eligible to
make both a deductible traditional IRA contribution and a Roth IRA contribution, your situation is even
more complicated. Your financial advisor and tax advisor can assist you in conducting the necessary
analysis to determine which type of IRA would help benefit your particular situation.
1
Pro-Rata Rule: If you have a traditional IRA, SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA or rollover IRA that contains both
pre-tax and after-tax funds, a percentage of every dollar you convert to a Roth IRA will contain a
proportional percentage of taxable and tax-free funds relative to the pre-tax and after-tax value of all
your non-Roth IRAs.

TANA International Internship Program (TANA-IIP) - 2007
IIP Chair – Prasad Thotakura
IIP-India Coordinator – Vamsee Ramaraju
Project Report
By – Saritha Goriparthi
I applied for this TANA International Internship Program during the spring
because, though I was reluctant about traveling to India alone and spending my
summer there, I thought the program would be a good experience. Looking back
now I have to say that I am very glad that I decided to participate in this program
where I was able to learn more about my Telugu culture and the Indian healthcare
system than I ever expected to. Five of us students were selected from different
universities around the country to participate in this six-week program after we
each filled out an application and wrote an essay about why we wanted to be a
part of the first batch of students to be involved in this program. We all flew to
India on different flights and each arrived at different times. Though it was
somewhat frightening flying across the world alone, it was still an exciting
experience. On Monday morning, June 25th 2007, the five of us interns all met at
Medwin Hospital with our family members and our luggage for the Inauguration
ceremony. This was the first time I met the other interns as well as our project
coordinators in India. The function included speeches by Vamsee Ramaraju, Dr.
Srinivas, and the guest of honor Akkineni Nageswara Rao. The function also
included a great amount of media coverage, including newspaper and television
reporters who took countless pictures throughout the ceremony and interviewed
each of us at the end.
After our orientation ceremony, we were taken back to our guest house in
Hayathnagar. The accommodations met our expectations because we were each
placed in our own rooms with an attached bathroom but we had to deal with power
outages and a lack of hot water for showers on a daily basis. Though the guest
house was comfortable, it was too far to commute to work every day, and it was also very far from the city where
everything was located. It was difficult for us to do anything on the evenings because we spent the majority of our
afternoons and evenings commuting from work to our guest house because of the distance as well as the
heightened traffic in Hyderabad. The food arrangements were satisfactory because we ate breakfast and dinner at
the guest house and were packed tiffin boxes for lunch, and because we got tired of eating similar food everyday,
we went out to eat occasionally. The guest house lacked internet connectivity which was a large problem. The
guest house also did not have a television, leaving us bored on some evenings. We felt comfortable in the guest
house because of the security present but we also felt over-sheltered and as though we were not able to do
anything on our own.
Our time at Medwin Hospital was interesting and informative yet we also had a lot of free time with not
much work to do. Our five weeks at the hospital were spent visiting and observing different departments, different
doctors, and understanding the different processes that go on there. It was hard for the doctors, nurses, and
technicians we were observing to give us work to do or even explain everything they were doing because we are
not medical students so we don’t have enough experience or knowledge. Our medical internship would have been
enhanced if we were able to visit other hospitals around the city and if we were able to interact with the patients.
Furthermore, we would have felt more engaged in the hospital if we were given small tasks to do. One of the best
parts of interning at the hospital was meeting a large number of helpful employees who all took an interest in trying
to teach us about their jobs at the hospital.
Our weekends in India were spent doing a variety of things from visiting religious sites, to meeting famous
people to attending important functions, and to visiting important city attractions. All of the religious sites that we
visited were interesting to see and well worth visiting. It was exciting for us to meet so many famous people
because we felt extremely lucky that these renowned persons were taking time out of their busy schedules to meet
8
us. We often got bored at some of the functions that we attended because we did not always understand what was
happening and they sometimes had very little to do with us. We also really enjoyed visiting the alpha foundation
schools and the Vegesna Foundation because it was really exciting to meet all of the children and interact with
them. We definitely enjoyed the sight seeing that we did around Hyderabad yet it would have been nice if we were
able to contribute our ideas about what we were interested in seeing.
I did not feel as though the language barrier was a big problem for me because I can understand Telugu
and though I can not speak fluently, I can speak well enough for others to understand what I am trying to say.
During my time in Hyderabad, I noticed some cultural differences between the United States and India. Amongst
many other differences, I noticed how much more sheltered we were in India as well as how boys were given a lot
more freedom than girls. We were able to become more aware about our culture and background by eating the
food, wearing the clothes, watching the movies, and speaking the language.
One of the best parts about this internship program was that I was able to get a chance to meet four other
students from around the country who I became really close to and bonded with during our six weeks in India.
Though we were all brought up in the United States, we are all similar in the way that we were curious and wanted
to learn more about our Telugu culture because our parents are all from Andhra Pradesh. We all felt sad saying
goodbye at our graduation ceremony on the last day. Our closing ceremony took place on August 4th 2007 in
Bhanjara Hills where the chief guest was Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu. The function was not a grand ceremony and
the guests mainly consisted of the press and our families. The function included speeches by Mr. Chandra Babu
Naidu and Mr. Murali Mohan, and also the five of us speaking a little about the program.
The Indian International Internship Program Coordinator, Vamsee Ramaraju, and his staff were all very
helpful and worked hard to make arrangements for us. The only issue we had was that sometimes our opinions
about outings or trips were not fully considered because the India coordinators had already made a plan. The US
IIP coordinator, Prasad Thotakura, was really helpful and constantly called us while we were in India to make sure
that everything was going smoothly. Though he was in the United States, I felt very comfortable to talk to him about
any problems or voice my concerns about any issues in India.
I definitely feel as though there is value in this program and that it should be continued in the years to come
so that future groups of students will get to have the same great experience that the five of us had this summer.
Though there are things that should be improved overall, the program ran fairly smoothly. Through the program
and all of its aspects I truly do feel as though I became more aware about my culture as well as about Andhra
Pradesh. I think the duration of the program could be shortened to one month unless more work is planned for the
internship part of the program. I would definitely recommend this program to my peers because I really do feel
lucky that I got to visit so many exciting places, meet so many prominent people and learn so much in 40 days
time. This program would definitely not be the success it was without the effort of so many individuals including our
coordinators in India, Dr. Srinivas, our IIP coordinator in the U.S, and the TANA committee for introducing this
program.

Project Sreyassu
- Sindhura Kodali
In December of 2007, I was fortunate enough to be able to
visit Project Sreyassu of Lepra Society which was operating in
Jagiahpet as part of the research I was conducting for my senior
honors thesis at Dartmouth College. The project I had undertaken
was a comparison of the HIV/AIDS response systems in different
states of South India such as Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The
topic of AIDS in Andhra first caught my interest when I noticed that
Andhra was listed as a high prevalence state. It seemed strange to me
that more rural areas of Andhra such as the coastal districts had
higher prevalence than urban places like Hyderabad. As I began to
read more about AIDS literature, I noticed there was rarely any
mention of Andhra Pradesh. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai
were always special focuses of research. Even research projects in
Andhra tended to focus on Hyderabad and more populated areas.
Yet, when I visited Andhra in the summer and visited hospitals in the
Vijayawada area, I saw unbelievably high numbers of people with
HIV. What was more, when I talked to people my own age in
America, they had no idea that HIV was so prevalent in our own
home region. Even people who were incredibly involved in health care and in medical school did not
know much about the epidemic. So the project I undertook was an opportunity for me to raise some
awareness and understand the nature of the epidemic in the Krishna and Guntur districts so that Telugu
people in the US would begin to have some understanding of what was happening back in India.
My visit to Sreyassu was really an eye-opening experience. It was there that I began to understand
the need for a model of holistic care for HIV positive people. Though the district hospitals are able to
give out ART drugs and some treatment for opportunistic infections, HIV positive people face much
larger problems in terms of discrimination, social stigma, extreme fatigue, and general feelings of social
alienation and uselessness. The project at Sreyassu was the first of its kind that I saw that was dedicated
to treating the psychosocial aspects of HIV by offering people job retraining, nutrition counseling, and
elements of psychological care. The work at Sreyassu makes me think that rather than searching for a
miracle drug for AIDS, it is important to help rehabilitate positive people so that they can live their lives
with dignity and still be productive members of society.
One thing that really stood out to me about Sreyassu was that it was associated with the TANA
foundation, and yet very few TANA youth had any idea such a program existed. I would like to see more
of my peers connect with this project and understand the state of affairs in Andhra. It is about more than
just holding on to traditions and culture; it is about understanding the way the world is and realizing that
there is more to life than growing up in a privileged place in a country with unlimited opportunities.
While I am grateful and blessed to have parents who have given me everything I want, the most important
thing they have given me is to not take what I have for granted and to continue to learn about how many
people in the world are suffering and don’t have all the blessings that I have. I think it is important for
Telugu youth in America to think beyond the privileges they have been born with and learn how to relate
to and understand people who have been dealt different cards in life. I think it is important that we
remember each other’s humanity.

TANA FOUNDATION / LEPRA SOCIETY
$ 60,800.00 was raised by Tana Foundation @ the 2nd annual HIV/AIDS fundraising event in
Hicksville, New York.
Andhra Pradesh has the second highest prevalence of HIV in India. Realizing this fact Tana Foundation
launched HIV/AIDS and rural health initiative in 2006 under the leadership of Dr.Meera Boppana.
Since then approximately 585 PLHA,S(people living with HIV/AIDS) have benefited from services @
Sreyassu project a comprehensive care and support program at jaggaiahpet mandal. Another 10,000
thousand people received Primary &Preventive care in seventeen remote villages of
CHATRAI,&MUSNUR mandals in Krishna district under the MOBILE RURAL Health Clinic
Program.
This year TANA FOUNDATION is partnering with LEPRA SOCIETY, well known public health
organization likes to launch MOBILE HIV TESTING & COUNSELING services in the three highly
prevalent districts of GUNTUR, KRISHNA & PRAKASAM covering a population of 11 to 13 million
people. Under this project a van equipped with lab, generator, refrigeration and examination table will
tour the districts performing testing and counseling sevices following the WHO guidelines. The Project
staff will refer the positive test to appropriate care and re-inforce people who test negative with easily
understandable preventive messages. Initially they will map the areas in each district where there is high
prevalence and less access to care, visit them every two weeks.While serving the high prevalent areas
they will designate one day a week for a donor sponsored village@ cost of $400/day to do the testing
and counseling services along with health education incorporating simple audio visual methods.
Generous donations from telugu community in New York made the fund raising event a success on May
17th. However we still need to raise $40,000.00 to launch KRISHNA, GUNTUR, PRAKASAM district
MOBILE HIV TESTING PROJECT.
TANA Foundation like to appeal for your generous contributions of $400/day of testing in your village
and for each one of you to be the goodwill ambassadors in fighting and containing this epidemic in our
state.
We must become the change we wish to see in the world, Mahatma Gandhi

Sagarika (Hyderabad) is a source of
inspiration to many of our youth.Though
Sagarika is physically impaired; she has an
outstanding talent in Indian classical dance.
Sagarika has completed her tenth class
examinations recently. Her accident took
place when she was at the age of six while
she was playing on the terrace of her house;
she had touched the hightension wire of an
industry. Due to severe burns, doctors had
her hand amputated. From then till now she
had become a hope of self confidence not
losing it anywhere. In the same process she
had decided to become a classical dancer.
Growing high with ambitions she has come
to this stage where she could give
perfomances. Her dance guru is smt
VOLETI RANGAMANI who is a perfectionist
in the dance art called 'SIMHANANDINI'
where dancers draw the picture of'SIMHAM'
and 'MAYUURAM' using dance with legs
without looking down. Her teacher and her
parents are a great scope of moral support
and encouragement. She has studied in St
Ann's high school and Sri Gurudatta high
school. It is sure that she will become the
greatest dancer the world has ever produced
with her confidence. Let us wish her luck.
(Her father Mr Muralidhar sharma works as a
bank officer in Syndicate Bank while her
mother Mrs Manju Vani works as a
government teacher. saga rika's sister Divya
has completed her intermediate second
year)
