An abandoned house

Venkatapuram,once fondly called as Nuguru Venkatapuram now merged in Bhupalapalli district.All it happened with the effect of new districts creation.Back it was the part and parcel of Bhadrachalam division and Khammam district.And it is a closed chapter as of now. But memories evoke afresh whenever one visit the place.Here I am giving you a picture of the old building which seems to have abandoned long back.Perhaps some decades it could be. It attracted my attention to click at.The construction is just nearby the Venkateswara temple.By the way,Venkatapuram is renowned for the celebrations of Venkateswara kalyanam in the season of Holy.Almost which lasted for a week with all pomp and gaity.Wish you all a bright Deepavali.

Little Artistes at their best

Hindi diwas celebrated with pomp and gaiety at SNAM ZP High school of Narsa puram.Children displayed their innate theater skills on the occasion.Skits and impersonating renowned Hindi poets like Subhadra kumari Chouhan,Sumitanandan Pant and Meera Bai and so on.Their performance received applause from the staff and fellow students as well.

Hindi regarded as the most widely spoken language and Rashtra bhasha of India.And also incorporated its status in constitution on 14,September 1950.And the date is noted as Hindi diwas to be celebrated in various institutions.India has many regional launguages,yet Hindi is invariably the linga franca among the people of many states.Though English is there to have its speakers are mostly from educated people only.

Head Master Sri K.V.K.Kanta Rao garu spoke on the occasion.He uttered the importance of the Hindi and greeted all the children who performed in the skits.Hindi Teachers Sri.Madhusudan Rao garu has taken care to groom the children to perform the deftly written interactions.Hindi elocution winners and others got prizes.Other Hindi teachers Smt.Nagamani garu,Sri Bala garu extended their help in the event.Here are some pics for you all.Have a nice day.

A Man of Green Mission

The old man wearing a green color ornament with slogans is needed no introduction in the state of Telengana.He is none other than Daripaalli Ramayya of 87 years by age.Looked so simple and down to earth in attire and attitude.What contribution he made to the society is not ordinary.He planted more than 10 million saplings in and around Khammam district.In fact,he is known as Chetla Ramayya (Trees Ramayya) to the people.

Not one year or two years,Ramayya started his mission of planting trees since 50 years.Sidewalks,schools,offices,houses and what not ,every place he liked to be presented himself with different saplings.Planting has been a way of life for him.Green cover importance has been grasped by him through reading.He did not expect any laurels from people and started with a sheer interest of green ambiance in his locality.Slowly people recognized  his good work and encouraged him.

Ramayya got Padma Sri award in 2017 from the central government.But it did not change his way of life.Still he wakes up early in the morning to collect the seeds of different trees.And later on,keeps cycling to several places to spread his green mission.In one of his interviews said,he determined to dedicate for green coverage after the death of his only son some fifty years back and it gave him great solace as it served the environment in a great deal.

By the way,Ramayya visited Bhadrachalam today as a guest of the program of Green Bhadradri organisation.On the occasion the pic was clicked.Many other program volunteers are seen along with J.D.Lakshminarayana(ex joint director of C.B.I.) where he was also a guest to commemorate the event.

Mating Season...!

The reptile we're seeing here in the picture is called Thonda in Telugu.And known as garden lizard in English.It has been surfaced during my visit to our local park.What so special about it..? This could be seen almost everywhere in Asia and other parts of our Earth.Yes,I am coming to the point.

I was sitting on a cement bench in leisure.And staring at it's activities as I have no other work on the day.It was very interesting.After moving in precision for some minutes,another garden lizard was found in a nearby bush.They came together.It should have been like wooing.I think so.

The final moment came up.This male garden lizard (assuming  so as it has bright red throat) mounted the other one and kept wriggling a few seconds.Assignment for creation finished.They got separated at last,and this one posed like this when I started to capture it.  

Our local Columbus found it...!

A New Exciting place found.It was there for years.We have been watching it from the bus and it looked so feeble in size since the view was distant but one of our friends Baddi Srinivasa Rao has gone there recently with his interest of exploring the falls closely.It is a bit deep in the forest though appeared close from the ongoing bus. 

In fact,one has to walk into the forest to reach the falls we're watching here.That's why its surroundings looked clean and fresh with untouched beauty.This exotic site located nearby Bhadrachalam.That means almost more than 60 k.m.s by bus journey.You have to get down at Veerabhadraaram while you're going to Venkatapuram mandal headquarter.Recently this mandal adjoined to Bhupalapalli district,Telengana state.

Try it if you're interested in seeing the newly found falls,There may be chance for trekking too as there were plenty of hills all around.At your own risk of course.The place could get focus and have amenities for rushing travelers in future.Who knows,might be happened.But surely then we will never get the eerie silence,solitude coupled with gushing falls that what is prevailed now. 

Our town's library

After a few days of hiatus,happened to be there at our branch library.All the place in and outside of it adorned with interesting things.Green environment updated with latest plants and message oriented posters  pasted inside.Apart from having facilities for reading ,there was something special with providing space and furniture for the candidates who are going for competitive exams.

By 9 p.m.at night one can be there to use the facilities. Many youngsters were seen in there busying with their studies. Unlike now, some years back the library very little place to accommodate many readers. With new building construction,a decade back to say,a phenomenal change happened with lush green ambience,water facility,time extension and staging philanthropic activities.

Walkers ground

Our ground located in the premises of Govt jr college keep serving the townsfolk to have morning walks.It has been a favourite place for slouching and meeting the like minded people to chat.
Both morning and evening,the ground looks peaceful with devoted walkers and fitness freaks.Now,it's gearing up for independence day celebrations by having a pedestal for the purpose.Works are under progress.Here's the picture describing arrangements for it.
