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…
