At last ,We have been to Komta,an obscure town located in the state of Chattisgarh.Umpteen times thought of being there in for its untouched natural beauty and its uniqueness in many ways.Small time towns offer much of variety in any country in my opinion.My friend Malyasri garu,a prolific Telugu writer asked me to accompany him when he was going to Komta to meet his friend P.Srinivasa Rao garu who is working as a teacher there.
This is a nagara palika panchayt with some thousands of population.Our bus stopped at the outskirts of Andhra and which is very close to the town of Komta.We have walked all our way to our friend's house,through the calm and serene lanes of neatly built houses and shops.Greenery is evident everywhere.At the bus stop we have taken a tea and the hotel vendors are from Andhra it seemed,they have spoken in coastal dialect in particular.Very reasonable rates indeed.
In the bus stop,private buses and autos etc., were seen.Anyway we reached the residence of Sreenivasa Rao garu.The couple received us warmly and served sumptuous meal and desserts.We were beyond having satisfied,thanks for their hospitality.Sreenivasa Rao garu told us many things about the area.He said that his forefathers had been come here around 1920's.Entire household is well versed in Hindi along with the Telugu.It seemed most of the people who engaged in business here are Telugus and some are Bengalis as well.
In return,we have visited a beautiful landscape called "Motu ghat" of river Godavari.This side Chattisgarh and Odisha that side.Both the states'people cross the river to have their works in routine.My maverick mind prompts me to have some photographs on this occasion of visit.
