Scenes from Kakileru

Kakileru - My maternal grand parent's village

Kakileru is a small village near Penugonda of West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh. Here are some scenes shot in an early winter morning. 

కాకిలేరు పశ్చిమ గోదావరి జిల్లా లో పెనుగొండ దగ్గర వున్న చిన్న గ్రామం. మా అమ్మ పుట్టింటి వారి వూరు.ఈ చలి కా లం లో ఓ ఉదయం ఆ వూరి లో తీసిన పొటోలు మిమ్మల్ని అలరిస్తాయని ఆశిస్తున్నాను.

Chill in the air. Smoky horizon looms around

Distant coconut trees draped in mist


Fog drifting away slowly

It is time to wake up folks!

Winged friends from far off places

Cranes are about to start their day

Sleepy road leading to Kakileru

Solitary trees appear to be shivering

Lone flower blooms as if to welcome another day

Water ways that surround our villages

Lone mushroom springs up

A serene pond dug to store water for cultivation

These photos are taken by Master Abhyas, Son of my co-son-in-law.

My Father - Lives Ever

Image
My father - My God My Father -  Lives  Ever He is short. He is stout. He is powerful. He is simple. He loves nice things of life. He adores his juniors. He often fights with high-ups for the sake of his protégées. He fights hierarchy; he gets transferred to ‘Agency Area’. He serves his department without prejudice. Most of his service has been in very backward regions.  Basically, he loves his birthplace, the Godavari Delta very much. He strives to get transferred to his native district all his working life. It never happens. But, he is never discouraged. He believes in the government sponsored education system so much that he admits me, his only son, a son he sired after an agonizingly long wait, in a newly conceived residential system of education ( a la gurukul), a model school, far away from home. By the time his son finishes the high school; he falls ill and becomes helpless. My father with his B.Ed Classmates He suffers from diabetes. The unde...
