#DontBeaPriestBeaCM

We have voted for you to be a CM, not a priest. I was shocked to learn that Andhra Pradesh's Government has spent rupees of 4 thousand crores on Krishna Pushkaralu. What do you think? Whose money was that? That was not at all your money. That wasn't only Hindu's money. That was also Muslims, Christians, and many others' money. Then, how can you spend the taxpayers' money on a specific Hindu ritual? One should keep all their spiritual beliefs at home before occupying a CM's position. Many villages like ours still need roads, and the government is spending a lot of money to promote spiritual baths. We got to see on RTC buses saying, "Come and take dips in Pushkaralu and wash away your sins." How many dips in Godavari Pushkaralu will bring back the lives of more than 29 people who were killed in the stampede soon after you have left the place very safely with your loved family? Who are you to promote a spiritual bath? Please be a CM, not a priest. I...

Helping Hand Through Flipkart

Y es, it was time to cut and store the Sorghum Crop (జొన్న తోట)  for the coming Summer. But, there were no human resources to come and work in the fields at the moment. At the same time, Chandra Babu (My Cousin) came to buy a wall clock through online shopping. I booked the one he had chosen among thousands of wall clocks and paid money.

He agreed, and his next two days were completely packed.  It was an experience to see and understand the value of the wall clock and the time it shows... 

A Forgotten Village

I belong to #AForgottenVillage called Pulleticheruvupalli, Vayalpad Mandal, Chittoor District. Yes, our village is completely forgotten by our government. We still don't have roads to our Village. Despite the fact that our very own MLA has been occupying the Chief Minister's chair for around three years, and the current CM is also from our district. He has been CM for about 12 long years. What is it all about? How do we look at it? Even After 69 long years of Independence, there are underprivileged villages like ours. Yes, underprivileged, while the rest of India is moving towards metro and bullet trains, reaching space, we from #AForgottenVillage are struggling to walk on the ground so severely. A good road to the outer world is still a dream in the 21st Century for us. How paradoxical it is in our country as every leader/politician pities the conditions of villages and makes big promises. But, on the ground, something hardly happens. I tweeted to #APCM @ncbn and Ne...
