"The Memoirs of United Andhra"

With the recent exertion in the state I was pretty much irked upon the political episodes which disrupted the life of the people to a maximum extent. The political substance which led to the annoyance in all the regions of the state also shook some of the regions in Delhi.

When I asked myself to summarize the history of our state, Andhra Pradesh has 23 districts, 1 language and 3 regions, I just counted. I only know some numbers!! Soon, I googled the antiquity of Andhra since Independence. I distilled the web and print for a week to educate myself and further develop the article. Though it wasn’t mandatory knowing…..the motivation, the unity, the progress and the achievement was majestic.

The Andhra State formation

16 December 1952, when the procession reached Mount Road in Chennai, thousands of people joined and raised slogans hailing “Sriramulu”. The news spread like wildfire and created uproar among the people in far off places like Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Nellore.This is when Potti Sriramulu died and laid down his life trying to achieve a separate “Andhra” state. On the basis of an agitation, on October 1, 1953, 11 districts in the Telugu-speaking portion of Madras State(Coastal Andhra and Rayala Seema) voted to become the new state of Andhra State with Kurnool as the capital. Andhra Kesari Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu became first Chief Minister of thus formed Telugu State.

The Merger with Telangana

On November 1, 1956 Andhra State merged with the Telangana region of erstwhile Hyderabad State to form a united Telugu-speaking state of Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad, the former capital of the Hyderabad State, was made the capital of the new state Andhra Pradesh.

In early 1950s, there was “Visalandhra movement” in both Andhra and Telangana regions which called for the merger of Andhra and Telangana region to form a single Telugu speaking state. The movement is stronger in Andhra region than in Telanagana region. Andhra mahasabha was a powerful organisation existing in Telangana which advocated as "Visalandhra"(larger Andhra). However there were concerns about the merger in Telangana during the movement.

The concerns about Telangana were complex. The region had a less developed economy than Andhra, but a larger revenue base (mostly because it taxed rather than prohibited alcoholic beverages), which Telanganites feared might be diverted for use in Andhra. They also feared that planned dam projects on the Krishna and Godavari rivers would not benefit Telangana proportionately even though Telanganites controlled the headwaters of the rivers. Telanganites feared too that the people of Andhra would have the advantage in jobs, particularly in government and education.

Advantage case for Visalandhra

States Reorganization Commission which is known as SRC, submitted its report to the central government in 1955 for Telangana-Andhra. It pictured many advantages for being a merger. It also stated the individual benefits of the regions.

• The advantages of a larger Andhra State including Telangana are that it will bring into existence of 3 crore population, with large water and power resources, adequate mineral wealth and valuable raw materials. The twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad are very well suited to be the capital of Visalandhra.
• The Krishna and the Godavari projects rank amongst the most ambitious in India, which can be brought under unified control.
• Telangana has in years of scarcity in food supplies. The Andhra State, however, has a surplus which Telangana may be able to use. Andhra has likewise no coal, be able to get its supplies from Singareni (which was spread around 4 districts).
• Finally, formation of linguistic states is the most important.

Advantage case for Telangana

• The existing Andhra State had a huge financial problem ever since it was formed and in comparison with Telangana the existing Andhra State has low per capita revenue.
• One of the major principal causes of opposition of Vishalandhra is a concern felt by educationally backward people of Telangana that they may be exploited by the more advanced people of the coastal areas.
• One important reason is, that the existing Hyderabad State and Telangana as part of Hyderabad have benefited from the Finance Commissions' recommendations in 1952.
• The financial position of Telangana need not cause anxiety.

What led to the join?

Andhra and Telangana have common interests and language. These interests will tend to bring the people closer to each other. The commission also concluded that the feelings of the people of Telangana and the fears entertained were dispassionate.

Fact: The Prime Minister of the time, Jawaharlal Nehru, was not in favour of merging Telangana with the Andhra state. He ridiculed the demand for Visalandhra as an idea bearing a "tint of expansionist imperialism". (Indian Express, October 17, 1953).

Development in Telangana in 60’s

• Education institutions in the region were greatly expanded, but Telanganites felt that their enrolment was not proportionate to their numbers.
• With an ample development, there was a massive migration of people from Andhra into Telangana with the selection of Hyderabad as capital.

The rise of Telangana movement in 1969

Telanganites felt discriminated against in education-employment. The deputy chief minister position was never filled. Discontent with the 1956 Gentlemen’s agreement (Read Gentlemen’s agreement given below) was not implemented. The state government told that most non-Telanganites (Andhra) had been hired on the grounds that qualified local people were unavailable. In addition, the unification of pay scales between the two regions appeared to disadvantage Telangana civil servants. So, this discontent had amalgamated broke apart by region. This led to Separate Telangana Movement with a student agitation in Osmania University in 1969. Approximately 360 students gave their lives in this movement

The Gentlemen's agreement of Andhra Pradesh (1956)

The agreement provided safeguards with the purpose of preventing discrimination against Telangana by the government of Andhra Pradesh. The alleged violations of this agreement are cited as one of the main reasons for demands of a separate telangana.

What is in the agreement?

• A Regional Standing Committee members of the State Assembly belonging to that region including the Ministers from telangana region but not including the Chief Minister.
• Telangana area will be treated as one region for more convenient transaction for government.
• Distribution of expenditure between Telangana and Andhra Regions. A balance of income should be reserved for expenditure on the development of Telangana area.
• The cabinet will consist of members in proportion of 60:40 percent for Andhra and Telangana respectively, out of 40 % of Telangana ministers, one will be a Muslim from Telangana. If the Chief Minister is from one region the other region should be given Dy Chief Ministership.
The Regional Committee will deal with following matters:
Development and economic planning, Local Self Government, that is to say, the Constitutional powers of Municipal Corporations, Some basic eminities like Public health and sanitation, local hospitals and dispensaries, Primary and secondary education, Prohibition, Sale of agricultural lands.

Developments after 1969

Telangana Praja Samithi, a political party was formed in 1969, fighting for the statehood of Telangana region. The main leader of the party was the former Congress leader Marri Channa Reddy, who later on became the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh twice.

The Lok Sabha elections took place in 1971, TPS won 11 of the 13 seats in Telangana. That was obviously the result of the 360 lives lost in police firing in 1969. The assembly elections followed in 1972. By that time, Chenna Reddy had entered into a deal with Indira Gandhi and merged TPS with Congress. P V Narasimha Rao was brought in as CM. The merger of the TPS with Congress, without realizing its basic objectives, was seen as a betrayal. Frustrated and cheated by the politicians, many young educated people and students joined the Naxal movement. It was sad.

For 50 years, Andhra Pradesh was united and developed to become one of the major state with maximum industrialization. It was in 2001, the united slogan shifted to divided.
My next post will be on current political scenario, very soon.

My Way of Life

I was wondering, how come I had never taken a flight from Hyderabad-New York via Frankfurt, never found smelling currency in my bank account or never drove an Audi. But still, I strongly believe I’m the happiest person living!! Putting before you a few sessions of my confidence which led to happiness!!

Since my final year of Engineering I was very much fascinated about cinema. At a very young age ManiRatnam made me inclined towards filmmaking, RGV during my adolescence and Sekhar Kammula influenced me with Anand. Though I was not into any craft of film making directly, I rendered how a scene can be gripped on my own way in writing. Writing gradually came out of my interest. I did not create any miracle but, scripting made me strong and happy, as I am never before. How writing made me happy…..in my words….

Initially I was a bit sceptical blogging some stories that were little close to reality. This time I wanted to make much closer to the human truth. This happened when my friend Raghu was discussing with me about blogging and happy living. I started blogging immediately I read “Five point Someone”. Of course, I read and inspired. With the recent “2 States”, I felt I can perform better than Chetan Bhagat, who frequently uses sex as a seduction in all his. Hey, my confidence levels aren’t high; it’s an approach to which my views were given a silhouette. I found immense satisfaction in writing. So I made it….

At my early stage of writing I was little timid exposing my feelings in public. But, some external power made me open-up my views (may be the girl in the train!!). So happened, “Signs of Love” which was true….by nature!! It gave me an enormous confidence and happiness that I never attained. Though people did not enjoy my other writings to that extent, I did not stop. Coz, I felt, my pleasure feels bad….just like

"సరదాకి సిగ్గేస్తే.....మంచికి మొహమాటం అడోచ్చినట్టు!!"

“Saradaki Siggesthe.…..Manchiki Mohamatam Adochchinattu”.

I was happy blogging!! But, due to little down in my career…..i stopped blogging in the name of “Career Concentration”. IT’S A LIE.

“Siggu” and “Mohamatam” overlapped at one stage……So, I stopped blogging for quiet a while.

Recently, I attended an interview with an MNC in Bangalore. I landed there with hope weighing a tonne, I cleared the final technical & HR. But, hope didn’t remain for long….pchchch…I lost the interview. Immediately, I sold my “lost hope” to “heartfull of disappointment”. The same evening when I was in search to gain little confidence, I found my seat in S5 with baggage on my back and India Today weekly with a cover page “Sex Survey 2009- The Fantasy Report” in my right hand. I killed some time reading the Fantasy report. The whole night I was in hunt of little pleasure that will stuff-in some confidence. Amma, Daddy, Reddygadu, and Anushka arrived in sleep but, they did not really get into. Amma for Love ,Daddy for Confidence, Reddygadu for giggling and Anushka here for Romance and Pleasure. But none of them won. Yet, I need to build confidence for further Interviews and future living. “Aathmavisvasam, anedhi……Aathmasthairyanni nimpe aayudham…..manishi payanam lo baga panikostundhi”. So I started writing….here’s the reality!!

The Reality

The truth is that, all these days I masked myself in the name of refurbishing my career. To be honest, it was false! “My real contentment lies in blogging. Coz, I gain a lot of confidence in writing….so in a way I’m boosting myself to perform more in doing other activities. I do get lot more satisfaction and this fulfilment doesn’t let me feel lonely or feel dejected….” i have these words in heart, but shared by raghu during our recent conversation. So, these words hammered me and awaken the Self-Actualization!!

The Self-Actualization

Very few people go with their interests…..some times people hesitate doing anything of their wish. It was because of hundreds of eyes watching them. Even I made the same mistake. During my study, I found few eyes watching and very few hearts caring, when it comes to reality. my roomies & close buddies were among them.

పని ఉన్న వాడికి పక్కవాడి ప్రయత్నాలు పట్టించుకునే ప్రాధాన్యం తక్కువ కదా!

“Pani unna vadiki pakkodi prayatnalanu pattinchukune pradhanyam thakkuva kada”

“I made a habit of complimenting a person who has done good or favour in any form. Say, it can be……..not using mobile while driving (or) a person with good traffic sense etc. They feel happy!! I attended my close friends wedding in Vijayawada in November. There, the food was too delicious and yummy; I never tasted such a menu in the past 10 years. Soon, I complimented the caterer, which made him turn over joyous and feel proud about the tasty menu he served. Due to the interview schedules, I really missed attending few other weddings of my friend in vizag. Weddings are once in a life time affair for everyone. I, as a person seek to make my presence the most possible…It’s just not they invited, they definitely expect us at the time of invite and I land up there with world’s best wishes for their relationship.”…..so, these injected happiness in me!!

The Happiness

I do not do all these for any credibility…….I do for my happiness, my world, my life.

Just try to reach out to your happiness…..Congratulate, Wish a good luck, Inspire and Encourage the people before you. You would be amazed how everyone around you will respond--and how much better you will feel.

Anyway the point of this whole article is that I am just so fascinated and intended to see people happy, be optimistic, be funny…..I just live in the moment of real self-actualization and love every person deeply. All these make me stand confident with happiness. Finally, my close buddies are also a reason for my rear, pure and eternal nature!

PS: I requested a 40 yr old, not to use his mobile while driving……in return, I was bashed with the world’s worst language.

Thanks,

Regards,

Srujan.

The Girl Who Was Too Beautiful

Shocked….really shocked by looking her mesmerizing figure which was pounding my heart beat 100 upon 70!! I could not resist myself looking at her. She threw a seductive smile simply like a model posing during a photo shoot. But, this was totally different.

My left portion of the chest was chuckling with joy. I stayed calm, being bowled with her sharp looks. But, my mood was in high spirits, like all emotions blended in a mixer. I started noticing her dress. She wore a white salwar khameez bordered yellow. I could see her slim back which got transparent due to her wet hair. Think…..she had freshly bathed. Girls look awesome soon after the bath. Suddenly, she stepped back and came to my side and ordered me to pray, as it is a must before god. She said with an apathetic voice….which I didn’t clearly listen. But, I understood her.

The necklace she wore was beautiful with white colored diamonds studded to it which had a yellow teardrop pendant which was almost down her chest. My eye balls focused with a telescopic look to an extreme left pointing her pendant. It was unable for me to resist even before god. 

Suddenly all the lights were switched off for aarthi. The prayer hall turned silent except some sounds of bangles being heard which were quite rhythmic. She hold my hand and taken more closely as we were standing little behind the devotees. The hall would have capacited 100 people on Saturday, but there were about 25, as it was mid-week. While the priests performing aarthi, She covered her head with her scarf. Thanks for the bold decision taken by her otherwise I would have completely burnt up with rising temperatures. Donno, why my looks always deviated looking at the beautiful pendant. Not my mistake……I blame the pendant……it was too deep belowww.…...

She hold my hand firmly as if she was nervous. Very tight….i was enjoying the sugariness of a beautiful girl holding my hand. While, I kept my fingers of my right hand kris-crossed with an unbearable pressure!!   

‘Hey, what you are doing,’ I said, asking her to leave my sweetened hand. I just acted, though I liked the firm touch of her for several minutes. I broke the chain, looking at another slim girl dressed in a sleeveless choodidhar. She looked at me with her eyes burning like fire balls. 

‘Usually, girls very easily open up their anger which was clearly shown by their expressive eyes. Especially, while boys looking amusingly at another beauty. But, sometimes they act smart during these hypothetical scenarios.’  

Slowly, we walked and sat at a corner of the one-acre temple lawn. I bent on my knees and sat, opposite her. She had taken out the prasadam and offered me along with a piece of coconut. 

‘My eyes again started looking intently at the pendant which was happily rested on a pale-beautiful-soft-skin. Thinking what would be my juncture if I would have been a pendant for a while. This time I was sitting very close opposite to her. My face was very few-inches away from the pendant. Slowly, she rested on her right hand keeping her legs the opposite side. Suddenly, the pendant lost its control and moved to its right, hiding behind her khameez-top.’   

Plchchch…..i murmured myself.   

‘No, this is not the place for all these blazing emotions,’ I said in a pleasing voice, again looking down below her neck.’

‘What? Blazing emotions?? What makes you blaze at such a peaceful place.’ She asked.   

I stayed calm…..killing her with my inventive looks, with three lines on my forehead. 

‘But, I pray god to listen all these emotions, as we were very close to him. She replied with a positive tone’. ‘Meanwhile, I was in a no-care mood eating the prasadam as the pendent went behind V-cut of her top.’  

‘srujan, why don’t you open up??’ she asked, nipping my thigh hard-enough which made people turn around us suddenly. Indian people are like news channels, they focus an utmost unimportant issue to a top rated with red-underlined!! Soon, I acted as if I was hurt smashing a half-broken coconut. 

‘Stoppp….!!!’ I shouted at her, as I lost my patience. In a short while, her eyes turned red with clouded tears, resembled like they were pumping out from a borewell!! Soon, I was chilled and felt awful hurting her. I collected a drop of her running-tear from her beautiful pink-bubbly cheek. I thought of kissing her.….but, the multi-noice temple bells remembered me in the background and avoided performing the most exciting lovable act in the universe. I hold her petal-feel like beautiful hands in myne strongly, giving her an impermanent assurance.....to calm her down!! Girls are complicated and their acts are complex!!

She feels I’m the best person on earth and herself the luckiest. She celebrates each and every moment when I accompany her. She expects her life to go simple, I intend to present her a Guinness-great. I aspire to carry these celebrations all her life. I want to gift an uncountable surprises throughout……coz, I’m a bundle of surprises!! I dream seeing her laugh turn to tears…….the same tears to happiness and offer me a gigantic hug!! A hug that can be kept deeeep in my heart forever……all my life…….as a treasure which cannot be found, as a tattoo which cannot be erased and an unfulfilled journey that has no end. 

Looking for the big day! I join hands with u!!

When is the Big Day??? When would I tie the knot?? God only knows the question!!

Thanks & Regards

Gift of Life

The day they realized that they had the strength to admit that they had fallen in love with each other and the love which changed their view of the world, and how love should be.

Few years back Ramchand and Sailu dreamt of being one, to love together and to live together…… Love truly does conquer all. They felt when their heart beat louder than ever. Their lives were completely bonded with one another, resulted to their auspicious wedding.

“Sreeramchand weds Sailu”, Simhachalam Hills, 19th February, 2009.

It was a grand fête for them and the people over there. Everyone was thrilled and enjoying the wedding being carried out in elderly presence. They were completely deliberate and I found them they were not in this world. They were enjoying every moment of the grand event. Yes, They should….because this happens once in a life time. That should be remembered, and more over that should be kept at heart. I kept it very deep!!

The priests were finishing up setting things up at the mandap. The wedding ceremony takes place at the mandap which is an area, often a raised platform, with four pillars and a canopy. Even, this was equally decorated

It was 8:00 pm while Ramchand was performing ganesh pooja which ensures the success of the work at hand and then sailu entered the mandap………. She looked quite elegant in the saree, as if she was a princess visiting a foreign country. That feeling was such everyone around was treating her like a princess! The sari was so, so gorgeous - a deep orange silk, with dark yellow detailing, and gold thread embroidery. All the credit goes to Ramchand’s mom….worked hard for 15 days to give a thundering glow to the saree. The jewelry was equally fabulous. And by fabulous, I mean “this looks like something out of a movie or museum” amazing.

Ah… playing princess for an evening was so much more fun than she expected it to be. Ramchand was looking like the proper prince, too, but groom clothes aren’t as much fun to discuss. Even his clothes were amazing with a golden shervani on a maroon colored dhoti.

The priest was a bit more relaxed, though, and didn’t require any formal conversion from me. Back to the wedding….. We also had a set of religious musicians for the ceremony. They accompanied the head priest as he chanted the different Sanskrit mantras, which transformed the chanting into almost a song.

After the priest recites the wedding shlokas from the Vedas, Ramchand and Sailu apply a paste of cumin seeds and jaggery on each other's hands, this symbolizes their belief that they must go through the sweet and bitter timings together in life. The curtain between the two was removed, and prayers are offered, Ramchand tied Mangalsutra with three knots to represent the strength of their union…….physical, mental and spiritual. Here, I’ve seen Sailu feeling very much delighted and cheerful. Which, she dreamt for years….yes, for years!! Girls have dreams, which they don’t express…….they just let them out during these rear wonderful times. I’m lucky as I witnessed it all.

In our weddings we have to change a lot of clothes .For madhuparkam…..the later part of wedding, Sailu was dressed in a white cotton sari, and ramchand wore a white cotton dhoti. The white colour signifies purity and chastity. Slowly, they were surrounded by nearly all of our family and friends, to watch the ecstatic event- “Thalambralu”. It was carried out superbly…..with no hurry, they performed it leaving thalambralu one on the other.

They were so nervous! And happy! Ah, weddings… they’ve got a big grin on just remembering this. First sailu gave him a garland, stretching a bit to get it over his head… then it was Ramchand’s turn, while sailu ducking to facilitate the effort while keeping her hair straight. Soon after, the people present at the wedding showered their blessings on them by sprinkling flowers and turmeric-colored rice.

They got down from the mandap and ramchand headed towards the north….. followed by sailu, to see the Arundhati star, which symbolize an inseparable couple. Yes, they are inseparable!! Being an onlooker for the past 5 years…..I trust them, I adore them and I admire them a lot than any other.

Formally, bride and groom weren’t offered anything to eat since lunch, except some jaggery water before sitting in the mandap. But, I’ve seen their energies boosted while they were on the brink of performing the “ring game” aka “Ungaraalata”. Where, few rings were dropped in a steel vessel filled with water, and they were allowed to take them out. Ramchand lost once with no concede after sailu lost once. Finally, Ramchand had taken 5 out of 9. But, both are the winners in the ritual…..both are indistinguishable, for the reason that, their hearts match and they always live to be in love!!

Always, Ramchand reserves his true and deepest love for sailu ,in whose company he finds himself electrified and celebrated, but for that one in her company he may feel tenderly in high spirits.

And for sailu…..Ramchand is her secret, a very simple secret; it is only with his heart that she can see precisely!!

Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.

All that was made true, with their marriage!!

The Evening Moonlight

People say no day can be significant in your life, but there is a day that was the most memorable.

I was engaged dreaming Anushka, wondering if I could take a chance and hold her. All of a sudden, my mobile shouted . With no perception , answered the call. I heard a perfumed incessant voice with a breathtaking fragrance. Its smelling tastier than ever. Felt like yoga-diva Anushka rang for myne !!! I thought of eloping with anushka if the phone call haven’t disturbed me.

“Aakanksha, Is that you?” I said, even though I was a hundred percent sure it was.

“Yes Srujan, its me, Aakanksha.”

“Before you get into sleep, can I just say Something?” she said, with a humble voice.

Its been an year long we met each other. I never expected a call from her after the day we had a split. I never heard her sounding so fragrant.. She gave a call with love, I know and frankly I was too excited. She was a different person with intelligence and values about life. I was stumped seeing her earlier dussehra.

“Six o clock, The Park “.....you should be there, sharp. “ Need to talk to you something Important and Festive.” Was her word in phone.

I mentally Hi-Fived myself and tried to control my euphoria. I appeared to be serious while answering .

She put down the phone saying goodnight!

"Important and Festive ??? " I questioned myself.

"I kept silent; a new thought had crossed my mind; Aakanksha calling me after an year, that too at twelve in the night and saying something important to talk!!! " I couldn’t believe myself and had a bed-struggle for more than an hour. Suddenly, something flashed in my mind and opened the calendar on my mobile……and Shocked!!! It was Aakanksha’s birthday.

I didn't give a ring or haven't dropped any message on her mobile. but, I'm sure we would definitely meet at "The park" the same evening.

I arrived at The Park, went into the wash room to set my silky hair. The same evening, I puzzled choosing "the best" dress of my wardrobe. Finally, a pepe cargo, white shirt on a silver printed T-shirt was my pick. When I was into the hotel lobby, I found Aakanksha twinkling before me with a dazzling look in a traditional attire in electric blue. I'm unable to face the encounter with my “little beat of mystery". Aakanksha was very beautiful, a beauty never seen before, with her long black hair, which she almost left open and mehandi covering her hands. We both neared each other and had a warm shake-hand, I blaze almost as a blast furnace.

“I was too close to her, with a great excitement, thought of breaking that with a hug…..but stemmed inside.” Girls just seem to be away from sweet touches, but they really look for.

“Happy Birthday, Aakanksha,” I said, presenting her flowers.

She chilled out looking at them, but still, I was not excused…..her face was still in red.

“Aakanksha, I….!!!”

“No apologies srujan !!” enough, she said.

Girls appear to be complicated when angry; but, its boys who cool them with intelligence. I jolt her with my shoulder and threw a little smile. Felt like, I gripped her in less time.

We walked along the magnificent blossoming grass. Our table was very close to the picturesque sea water adjoining the hotel.

“Candle light, cold breeze, sponge grass and a stunning beauty” , a greater impact shown by all these, I blame all.

No one around us.......except the bright moon watching the deeds with radiant eyes. I couldn’t understand what I'm??? Something’s flaming inside. I exerted a lot with the inner me to curb all my feelings. But, I'm sure something’s gonna happen before we leave.

We kept silent.

“So?” I said. I mean, I really wanted to know why she invited in this speechless meet.

“So, why the big urge to see me today?” I said.

“Weather is cool right??” she said.

“I’m disturbed…..lets put in picture with no delay”. I said , killing with my looks pointing her.

"Srujan, all these days , I sense like some enchanting force made me determined. I was completely environed by you. Felt, your love is unstoppable, your caring is un-measurable and you are the most adorable in my life. I’m mad srujan.....gone mad about you. Probably, this should be the start of "our" endless life. I'm dreaming of that....heart fully.”, she said with a heavy emotional voice.

“So, when should we get married ?”, I asked , looking at her beauty that's making me Insensible.”

Soon, her eyes started brimming with happiness.

I aspire giving a good eminence to our relationship with our marriage, Even I'm waiting for this moment for an year. I said, while her eyes look still wet. “She bolt my hands in her and entreated not to leave her. She felt like the most happier and luckiest on earth and slowly rested on me looking at the striking platinum pendant I gifted. She stayed calm for few minutes feeling relaxed. All I want is to dip her in happiness with little romance.” I was done.

“All the life…..you’re my everything.” I nodded my head to Aakanksha’s desire. It is miserably cold , while a sharp light pointed towards my eyes. How could the night turn to day so quickly? questioned myself. It was 6.30 when my mom prevent me from dreaming. The story was a dream, though it was a dream I started my day seeing my mother. A dream that made me look a realistic night into an overnight journey of a grown-up love.”

“There's a special place for everyone in my heart.....and so a special place for the girl who's gonna seize the place in my romantic heart.” Once I get engaged……I would definitely share all my in this blog with an enjoyable post .

Thanx for sharing and do not forget to drop a comment !!

Srujan.

Glorious Days @ Rajam

You should never forget me…....Promise!!! Never....i'l never, srujan!! Replied karthik. I cried on his shoulders, on may 7th 2005. I still remember the day we left GMRIT, Rajam . All CSE guys appeared the day before as "Rajam Rulers". It was an Unforgettable day as we all parted.

The whole 2005 batch met at the civil block, every one was chit chatting and recollecting all their memories at GMRIT. Some were joking, some were crying …..while some were dumb. At a corner I was observing all the drama over there. I was among the dumb. Beside me was raghu ram. Apart from knowledge gained, every student has heart-full of memories that he/she can remember all his/her life. All gathered at 5 pm in the evening and passed 4 hours , until the security manager shouted all the girls to leave to their hostels. Some guys asked for some more time as they want to talk with their loved ones/ friends. After few minutes of silence and few minutes of sharing memories I felt bad leaving raghu ram. He’s some one special for me. Still, we’re in touch. At that moment no one’s thinking of their future……thinking of, just leaving the friends. Because, four years of wondrous engineering life has come to an end. I felt like an English picture was running on the reel . Different panoramic views at all corners . Some crying, Some were silent……and some enjoying how easily gals open tears. It was the CSIT batch , where boys and gals were close and many formed pairs at that time…..donno how many led/ gonna lead their life until marriage. I am happy with vamsi and manasi…….nothing went unconventional on their way and few others .

Meanwhile, Ramchand left for vizag to get his car. Karthik escaped from this heart spilling sentiment and stayed in the room , I had no address of midhun….thought….he might went on his personal job. Gangadhar with Madhu, GL Sirisha and others. He’s not with Pranavi as she left on the day we completed with our exams. Reddy was shuttling between many girls. That night, I was recollecting all the memories . Next day we planned to pack all our luggage and the day after leaving rajam . “ I started thinking the causes behind studying at rajam??……how I got in touch with 100 odd friends?? How many are going to stay in contact ?? “ Many questions arose in my mind……the answer for my 1st and 2nd questions are fate and the 3rd cannot be predicted. The next day we all guys partied together roaming around the dusty roads of the small town and meeting our HOD Prof. Sesha Rao Garu. We spent some time at dolpet and had a photo session. The same night the remaining gals left to their homes. I remember madhu, neelima, jayasree leaving the college and reddy presented a beautiful flower to madhu and made everyone laugh with his stomach-paining jokes. After they left, we again gathered at Boys hostel main-gate…. where, our juniors were waiting for us. I still remember Vijay, Nanda, rajesh, sudheer, shanmukh, prasanth, sundeep, Mahesh , Ramakrishna, jaya of 2002 batch and Deepak, vamsi, sampath, Pawan, ramkumar of 2003 batch were few among the guys who gave us an unforgettable send-off. Karthik, Chakri, RC, Gangadhar(s), Reddy were present . Just before leaving….vijay hugged me and let his tears wet my shirt. Seeing this RC turned on some. But, Gangadhar(white) and Chakri singing the same…..we’re kings.

The final night……around 30 guys gathered at our house in srikakulam road and sat on the main road until 1 am listening to the comedy lectures given by lokesh, Prasad and rajendra. We enjoyed that !!! The next morning we all tied our baggage to the car. Midhun, Chakri and Preetam left 2 days after….as they have their own commitments at rajam. It was 9 when every one gathered at bharat’s room…..there was no mood of happiness on a single face. All were gathering one by one. Suddenly rajendra started crying at the front gate looking all of us. Every one has some kind of respect / special friendship on other. So, Reddy started with Nageswara Rao, Gangadhar with Ganesh. It was heart touching !!

It’s a saga of fours years of journey. I remembered all these and posted .Wishing a get- together to be arranged in near future. The things which gives me a relief is Aravind, Chandu, I, Chiya, Bharat meet atleast thrice a month during weekends and a few others who often visit vizag.

Chintalagraharam ChinnaRao

One day I was on my way to home from a village called chintalagraharam in an auto. It was 5 minutes of my journey.....something blasted. I was bounced and feeling the bumps on the road."Chi......malli tyre puncturu.....mepalekha chasthunna!!One day hike on petrol , the other day vegetables , another day cereal's.....how can we live sir??"Auto driver asked with an uncongenial voice!! He rents the auto for Rs. 300 per day. He betrayed with an atrocious voice. "I roughly save Rs 100-150 per day after all my expenses, which includes the auto rent, he said"!!

"My children study 2nd and 4th in government high school at chintalagraharam. I want them to study well. Today, I need not spend a lot on my children's education because, a sum of Rs.600 per year is enough, which is not high. But, the standard of education is still low at government schools. Look at kerala, they have the higest number of literates at 90.92%, which is a very good figure and more over women in kerala are well employed equally to men with a sex ratio of 1058 females per 1000 males. We should esteem the reforms that kerala governments have taken in the past. I agree that the government in Andhra Pradesh is doing better today with good amendments. Definitely, these measures will yield good crop in few years!!" He explains, replacing the punctured tyre. How do you know all these?? I asked!! "Newspaper sir!! I am a subscriber for a daily and a weekly.I Read newspaper for 2 hours daily. I am an enthusiast to know the happenings in the world. I like the thoughts of the young generation. A small example is Ramu, an 18 year old boy, working as a paperboy distributes newspaper to vepagunta, naiduthota and surrounding areas. Previously he used to work for Eenadu, they pay Rs 5 per paper. Today he shifted to sakshi, which pays him Rs 7. It just seems like a Software Employee changing jobs!! He said, removing the nuts and bolts of the punctured tyre". I was really excited at that moment at his knowledge."

"If i'm not wrong, I still remember the day when our area MLA last visited our village. Our village is into parawada segment. You know ?? I was offered Rs 200 and a bottle of liquor during 2004 elections. I said no, because i will never be sold for money". He is explicable while he feels proud of himself and started our journey." One thing is, I do not encourage the government giving 1 kilogram rice for Rs 2. The reason is, Daily labourers work a lot and throw all their earnings on liquor, as they get the rice for cheap. They get 50 Kg rice for just Rs 100 which is sufficient for a small family for a month. Poor farmers put all their money on fields. During harvest, they expect something more to save. They dump all their on fields and take the crop to the marketyard. There, they get nothing , as the price will be already fixed by the arbitrator's. Ultimately the farmer is the loser. Recently, The government announced loan waiver to the farmers, who doesn't have the ability to pay their loans back to banks. But, this is not a solution for a farmer. Each and every farmer should be guided on methods of growing, he should be educated on each and every crop, he should be well known of the "season-crop" match, ultimately....he should get a good market rate which ends him in profits"

By the time when i reached home, I was in a state of concussion, listening(discussing) all these. He's an Educated human being with immense social knowledge, Respect, Civic sense. He knows well-in-depth about Politics, Education, Health, Employment, Movies. But still striving hard with his livelihood as an auto driver. He's planning to be an owner of a new vehicle by dusshera.Wish....he will!!

Signs Of Love???

Its been a wonderfull day and I started from my home with loads of luggage to the waltair station for train no. 2727.It was a bit hot as the fresh humid breeze giving signs ,that summer pertaining to start . I hadn’t expected much different when traveling to Hyderabad, the abode capital of Andhra Pradesh.It was really difficult for me to say bye to my mom with a heavy heart.She's the best...."I love u Mummy"!! My friend chandu was waiting for me at S9,2727.No suspence.....2727 is the "Godavari Express",The jewel of waltair.Here, i should mention about chandu. He's the best among the funniest guys i ever met.cracking the same stupid jokes!!"Many times they are the better, i say stupid one's to keep him down".Chandu presented a gift, Nothing but.....laugh,the ultimate mental relaxation.He's no partial,presents to everyone.Another three charecters enter into " Signs of Love?? ".Definitely i will introduce them as the saga proceeds."What to do,How to kill time?" I asked myself and heard 'pepaar,Books,chains,watterbottles'.Yes, i am a lover of IndiaToday.ordered 'IndiaToday,waterbottle'.No worries about dinner, mom packed my favourites Chapati with keema.Luckily, a different sort of time killing assistance was found, running on the railway platform.Running!!! yes.....they are human beings,happened to be my friends vamsi and manasi.But, dissappointed....they hate heat.Throwed their baggage into AS2-The AC compartment.

I'm thinking about the suspence of the next 12 hours, but chandu on form.I'm not concentrating at his speech."Who is she?" Questioned myself, a beautiful aesthetic beauty in pink made me turned .My heart trembled a bit!! It was a wonderfull day i felt, It was 5.20 listening to the announcement.Got into the compartment, waving my hand to chandu.There's some jubiliant looks touching me.Not from my back, diagonally sitting to me. Slowly, I was being poisoned by her. The same cologne every girl leaves , I felt!! I'm strong but, loosing my control to her. " sugary thoughts killing me, feeling auspicious , euphoric , admirable god for running good time.....totally, i was blessed!! " Is what i felt at that moment, looking at her!! All these because, I have a great heart to give !! But, I do not know her, atleast I did not talk to her!! I have words but, I'm dumb......no, my heart was dumb!!All these emotions and intuitions in noice, no one can disturb.....except my love...."MY MOM"!! A heavy vibration from pocket reached my heart. Definitely, its my mom !! said to myself. I was out of that ambiance in a very short frame, it was my mom, telling all the foresight's. I was selfish! I want my mom. !! If my mom wouldn't have called, It would take an overnight to come out of the block. I said no again, started reading India today.I do not know how i'm going to kill the next 12 hours of journey.but i'm relaxed alot, My "sound blaster - the 1000W PMPO" will board the train at Anaparthi.But,It takes 3 hours more to reach anaparti.Between i cant sleep, there's no one to accompany me, no wireless communication - Hutch never follows , no music.But, it should be some thrilling travel ever.Thinking looking at India Today, only looking.....i'm not reading.Then came anakapalli, joined with me a 40 year old.Chained his luggage, wake me up when rajahmundry arrives,Please!!......he asked. I replied Yes !!

I liked her a lot.Some feeling havoured my heart.I Should speak to her, said to myself.She is travelling with 3 other friends.All are casual and funny.Iimmensly liked her.I have the habit of relinquishing equal importance to all my friends.Many feel great and few feel persistent and tainted.But, i have my loved ones to understand me, Is what I always feel. Everytime she's diverting me .She is observing all happenings in S9. She's just smiling and listening to what her friend says.There's some magic in her, I feel. I liked her of her cute looks, beauty and plainness . I felt like a girl who knows her limits, respect, social, and moreover friendly !!

It is Easy to kill the other person with looks.........but i felt its wrong. Moreover, i happened to be a stranger to her.If there's anything I should go and speak to her. At that moment I'm no Dare.So, left for AS2 to have a chat with Vamsi and Manasi at samalkot. Interestingly, they had a big-small fight."Big" seemed to looking at their faces,"Small", because they face walls at a max. of 15 mins. Here comes a time killing person boarding at Anaparthi, "Padala Venkata RamaKrishna Reddy".He looks taller, just like his name. Anyways, the name says it all.He got his berth in S7, i met him and he kept the train under his eye scanner about some beautiful girls as it is the day after telugu new year's day.He never misses, but just tries. So, we had a chat for an hour while having my favourite Chapati-Keema together.At some corner in my heart , there's an incalculable enthusiasm pertaining to gay. I shouldn't miss any chance, i said to myself.To my belief, she went to wash her hands followed by her friends. I dont know i would get a chance so early....but to my blockheadedness i missed the chance. I have done the same thing as she, washed my hands and sat on my bearth like an inarticulate. Reddy left for his compartment,all began to go for rest.I never imagined that i'm going to experience a half-sleep night. I still remember the night....oommph!! great experience! I was planning for different ways to talk to her, looking at her beautiful face in dim light.

It was 6.35 and to my luck, the train is still at Moula-Ali which takes nearly 15-20 mins to reach secunderabad, running late by 30 mins.The train Finally arrived on platform no 10. Reddy and myself were waiting for Mr & Mrs vamsi, the then engaged, now married. It was daylight,when i found her.......I wanted to allow my soul to be touched.........my eyes deceiving me, when I saw her standing there!! is what i felt at that moment. But, I'm strong.Came out in very few seconds.This time I got another' opportunity to know her mobile number just near to our falt, where she got down from another bus. At that moment i was not strong enough again to hold her, So missed this time, and thats the final time, i've seen her. After that,I tried a few times but i was not lucky enough as before.

I have no hopes on meeting her, but definitely i wanna meet to say "Hi, this is srujan"!! which i wished to say some 17 months ago!! Opportunities were given but not utilised at right times.This is neither infactuation nor Love!!Its Just a feeling when my heart trembled. I was never disappointed, never let down myself..........i Felt its an experience, an experience of joy, an experience every one will feel atleast once in a life time, an experience one should remember all your life, an experience you share with your loved ones, an experience i felt i should share with you!! Still, I have my great heart for her !!
