Karthi - the cook

Yeah, a record has been set by me not in olympics but in cooking.

I just did a solo performance and cooked for all my roomies which indeed is an achievement for me :)

Items: Potato+tomato kozhambu (Pulusu) & Potato fry.

Till yesterday i was helping Muruga in cooking but today I was not able to believe what happened. I am a cook officially :)
I am the last one to become a cook in our hyd gang of five - Mugunthan, Muruga, Mouly, Bala & me

hmmm.... wow, the food tastes really good, believe me or ask my roomies.

the trip to Kadapa

/* the pic story begins */

The scenic view is worth a first shot in any indian film for 'a remote town on the backdrop of mountains'. So as here in our story.

Location: near Thamatam's hometown (my colleague), galivedu, Cuddapah





The Dwarf Mountains of the Eastern ghats, not high enough to block the North East monsoon winds, but adds beauty to the space.

Thanks to the recent rainfall, the whole area we visited is filled with green, not showing any signs of the 8 years drought in recent past



The new irrigation project to counter-effect the failure of the monsoon is the latest addition to Kadapa



The legendary 'once in a lifetime' bike-trip in search of a 650 years old...


Driving nearly 50 kms(one-way), extending deep into the nature, crossing villages and districts (from kadapa to ananthapur), the search ends here

“Thimmamma Marrimanu”


a few words:

'the soil can be taken to the nearest center to find the potassium(ka) and nitrogen content which helps to grow crops specific to it' - Krishna

'not as fertile as lands in villages of Gangetic plains' - Navin

'better roads than in my village' - Srinivas

'3 primary schools and 1 high school in 50 km stretch, a good sign for village India' – Karthik



Thanks Thamatam, for inviting for your marriage

that’s a trip worth a day…

bomma manasu

nammaga thappani nisamaina
nuvviga raavani cheputhunna
enthugi vinadho naanathi ippudainaa...

evvaru edhurugo vasthunna

neerupam na chupulo nuthilanaa...

kannul karichae unnaa
nuvvu ninnati kalavae ayinaa
ippatikae akalalo nae unnaa...
