<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been a long time I blogged. Good news is that, I can add oil painting as one more feather in my cap. This hobby made me to overlook blogging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But for one good reason I want to record my experience at the 0th hour of the new day.The other day when I was watching the movie ,The Mysterious Island I was little bit fascinated. The next day when I watched Journey towards the Centre of the Earth, I was overwhelmed by the idea the director adapted. It's my bad habit (of course I am enthusiastic to get knowledge about the things I come across) to google as soon as I feel interesting and did the same on both the movies. Interestingly I came to know that both the movies are from the literary works of Jules Verne.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though I was a book worm till my marriage (it's better to say became lazy than no time for reading), some how I was unlucky to miss this great author. When I came to know that Jules is an 18 th century author, the time period at which the technology was not developed as now, when the literacy rate was poor ,when one part of the people does not know the where a bouts of the others and when the communication among the people from distant lands was only through paper mails, Jules tried to educate his era through his great science fictions about the earth, sea , moon and space. I could not stop my self in bowing to this great author after reading his works ESP The Twenty Thousand Leagues under The Sea and Journey To the Centre of the Earth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’ve become more familiar with his works and still believe that exploration is the essence of Verne’s novels. His stories pulled me into a world filled with infinite potential—be it in the clouds, on land or under the sea. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope Disney will no sooner announce on the remake of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, more colourfully than the older version. I would recommend these great works for all the ages to know about the place where we live and it's surroundings.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Google celebrated the Father of the Fiction's 183 rd birthday on 2011 through a doodle which enables anyone to navigate the Nautilus with the simple pull of a lever.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Karthik Masam is famous for the worship of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.When full moon enters into Krithika the fiery planet, the month is termed as Karthikam. In such an auscpicious month, Chiluka Dwadasi/Ksheerabdi Dwadasi falls on 12th day. This day is also called as Chinuku Dwadasi/Thirthana Dwadasi/Tulasi Dwadasi/Yogeswara Dwadasi/HariBodhini Dwadasi.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Uthana Ekadasi falls a day before Chiluka Dwadasi. Lord Vishnu who was in cosmic sleep from Ashada suddhaa Ekadasi,wakes up on Karthika Ekadasi. Hence it is termed as HariBodhini Ekadasi.Ksheerabdi Dwadasi also signifies the beginning of Ksheera Sagara Mathana (Churning of theMilk Ocean).</span></span></div>
<h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">On this day Tulasi & Indian gooseberry (amla) plants are worshipped along with Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi with 360 wicks dipped in cow ghee .</span></span></h4>
<h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Karthika masam is a glory for lighting the diyas.People who can't perform deeparadhana daily can atleast light the diyas on the days of Suddha dwadasi,chaturdasi and Pournami. It was said in Vishnu Puranam that people who not only lits the diyas but also who flares the diyas, gets the grace of Lord Vishnu. The spiritual message associated with this activity specifies that , human beings should help other people in need.</span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Coming to the Puja on Ksheerabdi dwadasi, Tulasi plant is worshipped considered as the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi.. In Hindu Tradition Tulasi plant is considered as auspicious. This Indian basil is worshipped by females of all age groups.There are two types of Tulasi. Black colored leaves are termed as Krishna Tulasi and the Green one is considered as Lakshmi Tulasi. One can find the Tulasi plants grown up in special pots called as Brindavan in almost every Hindu family.</span></span></h4>
<h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">During Chiluka Dwadasi, once should take head bath , clean up the place near the Tulasi Vrindavan. Decorate the pot
where Tulsi is grown. Offer water to the sacred plant. Apply kumkum on
one of its leaf.Rangoli can be done and Diyas should be lit around the Brindavan. Litting diya on a gooseberry is considered more auspicious. Not being a mandatory, Tulasi can be decorated with a saree, flowers , red bangles and thambulam.</span></span></h4>
<h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Use cow ghee or Gingelly oil. Never use mustard oil/ground nut oil for litting the Diyas.</span></span></h4>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I wish all my felow bloggers and readers a very happy ,safe and prosperous DIWALI. This year too I painted the plain earthern Diyas to be more attractive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Though Diwali brinhs lots of smiles , joy and happiness in ones family, it is the Diyas which color the festival.The reason for this is that the lighting of a diya is regarded as forcing light upon darkness, whether it be in the
form of evil, tyranny or ignorance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Most Hindu households often light a diya once every morning and in the
evening. It’s not just a customary practice but signifies the submission
of one’s soul to the supreme power. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Oh bored of my Diya speech... let us read few tips while painting Diyas.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Get few variety od earthern diyas and soak in wtaer for few minutes (say 10)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dry them in sun so that they become receptive to paint.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Choose any acrylic or fabric paints to paint Diyas.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Try out different combinatons as per the design of diya.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dry them for 3-4 hours.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Stick tiny mirrors, zari thread, small shells, sequins, beads or glitter on the diyas to pack a decorative punch.</span></li>
</ul>

is the best lazy blogegr in the blog world? Its none other than me me
me.. Back after many days sorry months mm sorry almost an year... one
blissful location made me to sit down and resume blogging.I had become a
busy bee now a days.We want a bad brak from the routine life to get
away from work, worry and stress.Started exploring new destinations
within the city. One fine day I was chanced to see a blissful location
named Aalankritha resorts in a journal at Neeru's, while my sister was
busy in selecting a chudidar. It's a privately owned 4- star resort,
located near shameerpet that is a complete eco-friendly
destination.After going through the website we booked for a crystal
suite.</span><br />

Even as the mercury soars to forty degree Celsius, water is difficult for them to find. As a result, many of them die during this season.It is quite difficult for birds to find water in the concrete jungle.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Four such holes are there. In the beginning all were occupied by sparrows but no sooner one squirrel comforted on the top most 2 holes and laid its babies. Only the two lower nests were occupied by sparrows.It is such a beautiful experience to see the sparrow couple hatch new ones and teach them fly. Babies keep growing and fly out of their nest constantly.They used to pick the grains winnowed by mom.Sparrows are not very much braved when compared to other birds like pigeons and parrots.If they are suspicious of our presence they wont even fly down to pick the grains. The sparrow family in my house thrived for a number of years. But dont know the reason why they left the house and town.</span><br />

I started with Chandamama, Balamithra, Balajyothi.. etc. Mom observed my interest towards the books and she surprised me with Misha books(erstwhile USSR child magazine) and Gokulam. There after book reading became one of my hobbies. I recollect reading a Misha book during my 7th final examinations without my parents knowledge by hiding near the corner of upstairs.

But when i came through some articles, and some public opinions of late, I am incorporating these healthy grains into our diet on a regular basis.Though the rice is chewy, its worth the effort keeping in mind the nutrition involved.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qIBEXeZPok7ihSNCZlYXAH7PW4-1Lgf8P0GU7PE9goQsbafb4xDbK0cMC2fP5b5RG8Napu6fT2rB4jqCdvCgLy20FU4SDCE5-GRJII3SFZaaPVm6WqZpXm9EilYtZOGg1d2weQo4efs/s1600/DSC02039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qIBEXeZPok7ihSNCZlYXAH7PW4-1Lgf8P0GU7PE9goQsbafb4xDbK0cMC2fP5b5RG8Napu6fT2rB4jqCdvCgLy20FU4SDCE5-GRJII3SFZaaPVm6WqZpXm9EilYtZOGg1d2weQo4efs/s400/DSC02039.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, to be honest, there are a number of reasons, and I don't know which one evolved to the present stand wherein I think of Brown Rice as best than white rice. So here are the reasons.</span></div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: small;"><u style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>1.Excellent source of Manganese:</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">It is an excellent source of manganese, and a good source of both selenium and magnesium. Just one cup of brown rice will provide you a full 88% of the daily value for manganese. That’s huge! You might be wondering why manganese is so important; well, this mineral helps produce energy from protein and carbs. It is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and in the production of cholesterol</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: small;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><u>2. Brown Rice helps in reducing Weight:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">People eating Brown Rice do not put on weight. The high percentage of fiber and lecithin content present in it doesn’t change much into Carbohydrates. Where as the white rice devoid of these contents makes you fat quickly. This was proved by Harvard Medical School.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><u>3. Brown Rice is Rich in Fiber and Selenium:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Brown rice provides 14% of the daily value for fiber and 27.3% of the daily value for selenium. Selenium is important to various metabolic pathways including your immune system<b><u>.</u></b>Selenium also pairs with vitamin E to prevent heart disease, decreasing pain from rheumatoid arthritis, and reduces the risk of asthma. Looking for yet another reason to consume brown rice? The oils in it lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Comparison with white rice :</b></u></span></div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories, carbohydrates, and protein. The main differences between the two forms of rice lie in processing and nutritional content.</span></div><div></div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">When only the outermost layer of a grain of rice (the husk) is removed, brown rice is produced. To produce white rice, the next layers underneath the husk (the bran layer and the germ) are removed, leaving mostly the starchy endosperm.</span></div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Several vitamins and dietary minerals are lost in this removal and the subsequent polishing process. A part of these missing nutrients, such as vitamin B<sub>1</sub>, vitamin B<sub>3</sub>, and iron.</span></div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">All in all, brown rice is a staple that any health-connoisseur must have as a staple in their diet. There is no question about all that it has to offer. Check it out and see that your body will thank you, both now and in the long run.</span> </div><div style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

As it was Karthika Pournami mom was in a plan for Vana Bhojanalu with her colleagues. But as we were in home , she could not go. At the same time we got a call from my cousin who is mom's nephew for his baby boy's Naming ceremony. His wife's native is Vempally ,a village in kadapa district. So we started over there so that we can also cover Gandi a famous Anjaneya Swamy's temple.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even though I lived in Kadapa for almost 20 years i had never been to neighboring places as i was always busy with my studies. So almost after 25 years I got a chance to visit the temple. First we reached Vemapally and attended the function. The boy was named as Tushar. Later we started to Gandi , its almost 10-15 minutes journey from there.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the way we passed through Idupulapaya where our late CM YSR was buried .IIIT college was also located on the same way. </span><br />

It is exactly the opposite side of the Tirumala hills. AP Govt is running Haritha restaurant here for people who come from distant places.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> The legend of how the temple of Lord Anjaneya had come to being here is very interesting</span><span style="font-size: small;">.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
During the Ramayana period Sri Vayudeva was on mediation here. Sri Rama had passed through this place while going southwards in search of Sri Sitadevi. While Sri Vayudeva wanted Sri Rama to stay here as his host, Sri Rama had told that he will accept his hospitality on his way back to Ayodhya from Lanka. <br />
<br />
On hearing of Sri Rama's victory over Ravana in Lanka, Sri Vayudeva had prepared this place to welcome him and flung a wreath (festoon) of golden flowers across the ravine through which the conqueror should pass on his way northwards to Ayodhya. </span><span style="font-size: small;">At the earnest request of Sri Vayudeva, Sri Rama halted here with his troops. Sri Anjaneya had then gone northwards for informing Sri Bharatha about return of Sri Rama. Sri Rama thinking about Sri Anjaneya, before leaving this place had impressed the mark of figure of Sri Anjaneya with his arrow on a rock. Before he could complete the figure Sri Rama had left for Ayodhya. The figure of Lord Anjaneya is complete in all respect except the little finger of lord's left hand. </span><span style="font-size: small;">The figure of Sri Anjaneya drawn in a thin line by Sri Rama was sculptured by Sri Vyasaraja.He tried to complete the figure by sculpting the left over finger but the </span><span style="font-size: small;"> little finger broke and blood started oozing. He understood the true intention of Lord Rama and left the figure incomplete. Even now we can see the left over finger.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The golden flowers arranged in the <i>thoranam</i> form by Sri Vayudeva for welcoming Sri Rama could be visible between the two hills for those who had faith on the Lord.</span><span style="font-size: small;">It is in record that Sir Thomas Manro the District Collector of Cuddapah was one of the blessed to have seen the golden festoon (<i>Bangaru thoranam</i>) during his last visit to "Gandi". It has been recorded in the Madras District Gazetter Cuddaph District Vol I - Chapter I - Page 3 & Chapter XV - Page 217 dated 01.10.1914. We can see Manro's picture in the temple.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

As I am in Kadapa mom planned to Sri Kalahasti which is considered as the <b>Dakshin Kailash</b> and one of the most famous Siva's temples in South India . As Sri did not visited the place we planned on last Friday.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8GO78zyrhmHlrAnFYzfHVtPKRARkGMEuiTlyx8JRb5OD3ewoBIwgVG6thX70-eUsULQEHhyPBRO-oxd5DLHX9zuNW435TUrsImIcFSOCJMgb9fdMBJ-BYTTyZzDaEYdEXF_etvZg8GXo/s1600/sri.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8GO78zyrhmHlrAnFYzfHVtPKRARkGMEuiTlyx8JRb5OD3ewoBIwgVG6thX70-eUsULQEHhyPBRO-oxd5DLHX9zuNW435TUrsImIcFSOCJMgb9fdMBJ-BYTTyZzDaEYdEXF_etvZg8GXo/s1600/sri.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sri Kalahasti temple, situated 36 km away from Tirupati is famous for its Vayu </span>deva temple, which is the only shrine for the God of Wind in India. It is also one among the Pancha Bhuta Lingams. It is situated on the banks of Suvaramukhi river. The temple is also associated with Rahu and Kethu Sarpa dosha nivarana pujas.<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b>There is a lamp inside the inner sanctum that is constantly flickering despite the lack of air movement inside. The air-linga can be observed to move even when the priests close off the entrance to the main deity room, which does not have any windows. One can see the flames on several ghee lamps flicker as if blown by moving air. The linga is white and is considered Swayambhu. </span> </div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sri Kalahasti is named after the staunch devotees of Lord Shiva. They were the Spider (<i>Sri</i>), the Serpent (<i>Kala</i>) and the Elephant (<i>Hasti</i>). Appeased with their unflinching devotion, Lord Shiva gave them a boon that their names be merged with the <i>Vayulinga</i> and called as <b>Sri Kalahasteeswara</b>. </span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">As last friday was Ekadashi some special pujas were going on to Lord. We took the Deeparadhana ticket where limited number of devotees were allowed into the Garbha gudi and can see the various deeparadhanas performed to deities for almost 20 minutes. With good satisfaction of seeing the deities form very near we returned to kadapa the same day.</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

On one fine Friday while coming from office Sri and me fell down from bike and were injured minor. My lunch box got struck in our two wheeler while taking 'U' turn before my(TCS) office in Madhapur and Sri lost control. Sri suffered from bruises and me suffered from pains. Thank god at that time no jumbo vehicle rushed on to the road. The thing which we felt bad was there were number of so called corporate employees but none gave their helping hand. A couple who were working as supporting staff immediately lifted the bike which was on Sri and the lady lifted me up and gathered my hand bag and lunch box. </span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">As i could not manage things here we left to my hometown Kadapa to take rest. Mom's caring , her dishes and the water of my native made me recovered fast except some small pain on my right knee.</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kadapa formerly called as Cuddapah recently renamed as YSR district is one of the important district in Rayalseema Region. As many people dont know the city's name originated from the telugu word "Gadapa" meaning threshold or gate. The city is surrounded on three sides by the Nallamala and Palakonda hills. The city is named "Threshold" because it is the gateway from the north to the sacred hill-'Pagoda' of Shri Venkateswara of Tirupati. All the people from Kadapa who wishes to visit Tirumala first visits Devuni Kadapa a temple of Lord Venkateswara which is located here. Even in our family we follow the same ritual.</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whenever people asks me about my native place and when i reply as Kadapa every one keeps their face some what feared and cracks jokes on me whether i carry any bombs in my hand bag. Of course Kadapa is famous for bombs but it has its own good history.</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">As I already mentioned in my previous post <a href="http://joshri.blogspot.com/2010/01/vontimitta-kadapa.html">Vontimitta</a> Kishkindakanda, one of the 7 kandas of the Ramayanam, is believed to have happened here. The famous Ameen Peer Dargah visited by AR Rahman, Bachan's family is also located in the town. Bramham Gari Matham, the birthplace of the Pothuluri VerraBramhendra Swamy who predicted many future events comes under Kadapa district.</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The neighbourhood of Kadapa was the birthplace of several ancient and contemporary poets. The great Annamacharya (Andhra Pada Kavitha Pitamaha) well known as Annamayya was from Rajampet a taluk in Kadapa dist and birth place of my mom. Andhra Kavitha Pitamaha 'Allasani Peddana', the most prominet poet among 'Ashta Diggajams' hails from Kokatam village in Kamalapuram Mandal. Great Poet Bammera Pothana who wrote Andhra Maha Bhagavatham lived in Vontimitta. Vemana (Pedakomati Vema Reddy) who wrote the famous Vemana Sathakam also lived in this district. Vemana Sathakam is the first Telugu Literacy work which got printed and translated into French and English languages. Baddena who wrote Sumati Satakam also hails from Badvel area of Kadapa district. Last but not the least our beloved late CM YS Rajasekhar Reddy also hails from Kadapa district.</span></div><div style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

When i said to Sri about the quail eggs he told that his granny used to cook quails in his childhood. But for me this is the first time to know about quails. When i said to my mom she told that my dad used to have them in hotels. Last friday when i went to Inorbit mall i bought a dozen of quail eggs.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

I remember Sandhya saying that uncle is diabetic and he takes green tea daily twice. So thought of surprising them by giving Green Tea which i brought from Ooty. I prepared the tea and served it. But to my surprise,I can see uncles face changing colors. Finally i asked him whether the tea is okay. He said its too concentrated and even the color should be in light golden. My over action ended like this. Uncle suggested me how to prepare that.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Green tea</b> which originated from China has many benefits. Regular green tea drinkers have lower chances of heart disease and developing certain types of cancer.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_tea#cite_note-0"></a></sup> Although there is no scientific evidence that plain green tea can produce weight loss, a green tea extract rich in ployphenols and caffeine has been shown to be useful for "obesity management", since it induces thermogenesis and stimulates fat oxidation. In a recent case-control study of the eating habits of 2,018 women, consumption of mushrooms and green tea was linked to a 90% lower occurrence of breast cancer.(Src: Wikipedia)</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Don't expect green tea to taste like your regular tea. All the different kinds of green tea have different flavors, but they do have a taste in common. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1.Boil spring water by using a kettle (never use microwave please).2 Put some green tea in a teacup by using a dry and clean spoon or by pouring out the green tea less than one minute before the water start to boil. (Never use your fingers to touch the green tea ). Quantity of tea is about one small teaspoon. You add or reduce next time if you feel too strong or too light. After the water is boiling, turn the heating temperature off. Before turning off add 3-4 drops of lemon juice. Sugar is added as per our choice. The tea should resemble thick/light golden color.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
