How many faces you have..?


These people are Gottikoyas,the tribals of Chattis Garh.They used to come to Andhra border villages for working in the fields.Especially in the season of Chillies cutting and for the work of axing the jamail trees.They are hard working and sincere at dealings.They don't speak much.They work for some seasonal money and go back to their homes.That's all..!

As we all know,extremists problem is rampant in C.G..these are bound to come out for their safe livelihood.It triggers them to know outside ways of the world.Thisway,there's something good in some evil too.Some months back,a British journalist named Mr.Eric Randolf asked me to accompany some of these people areas which are adjacent to our state.

He   intends to write a book on  the related subject.I stunned and reminded one particular scene in a Tamil movie "pitaamagan" when a friend who works with an n.g.o. told me a moving incident. "These people do not know how to express their grief,even though their son is killed in front of them either by salwajudum or naxalites, although they felt  it inside."


Susruta,the first cosmotic surgeon on the earth born in India some hundreds of years back. (I read it in Three Sirens by Sidney sheldon).Not only that Indians keep going on in to every corner of the world as experts in different fields.But this is another bitter face of Country...Oh India.... how many faces you have....?

Watching Crow


Watching birds without any prior preparation is a great fun and education in some aspects too.Yesterday, I just keep seeing a tree....Two crows were seen in the branches of tree.I observed silently.


After some time one crow got down...and keep searching something.
Later,another one joined and together being played for sometime.
Anyway,they found something to eat...doing thing their own way...!

In the school premises

It must be a study hour..... some times School children,for a change or for fresh air, used to sit under the trees in the school premises.

Age old structure

This is a structure of megalithic age.Some time back I visited it along with my friends.It is located  on almost 500 meter height hillock.historians opined that these belonged to the humans beings lived some 2500 years back.I guessed the humans then built these to hide from  rain or heat or beasts perhaps.And these were their great houses too.I had a surprise ....how nicely flatten the roof with rock element...rocks seemed very heavy...what instruments could have used to lift it in a good position...!

This location is about 70 k.m.away from our place,named suraveedu .There are almost 100 structures like  this.I am very much interested in issues like this ...but I missed one more interesting structure here...hope to go next time.

Flower blooms for you and me

Flower blooms for you and me

It just comes out,with all its energy.It falls down,when its time ripens.People who have eyes will see and joy.Deep inside we all know which resembles our own life.
