Kaivara

Kaivaram is very nice place to visit for a day, from Bangalore. Kaivaram is ~60 kms from B'lore & on the way to Chintamani / Madanapalli. MUST see places are: Kaivaram temple, satram, Hill, Kaivara Thatha caves, Forest garden, KailasaKona and BanyanTree. Planning from B'lore: leave ~7 am....take a break at Kaivara cross for break-fast (nice taste in small hotels) and move to Kaivara temple...park your car....climb hill. Temple visit can be after climbing down, to avoid heat !! Kaivaram temple : Nice temple, bangles are very good withing temple complex, read more Satram (next to temple where rooms available & food served),  Hill (Opp. to temple) which is 700+ steps mountain & you will find water (small lake) between stones at 3 - 5'' temperature always. Hanuman Temple: Very near to Kaivaram temple, ~ 500 meters Kaivara Thatha Caves: 2 kms from Kaivara and there is a mutt , Narasimhaswamy idle in deep cave. Avoid carrying banana, coconut or food ite

AP politics - May 2013

As per my knowledge & interactions with people in andhra pradesh, my views on key political leads expressed here on 2 May 2013: My views on: KiranKumar Reddy, CM, Andhra Pradesh: One of the clean, focused CMs, in India today. But lot of mess created by earlier CMs & Ministers should be cleaned / corrected.             Focus on: Good telugu speaches & smile, Connecting sr. leaders & bridging dot's, Delegate to party on attacking other parties.   Suggestions: Better to hire good orator to promote his (govt) best programs in public. Bring business (companies) to AP.   Black marks: Clean as of now (holding tainted ministers in cabinet) N Chandrababu Naidu, Leader, TeluguDesam Party: Sound politician with deep contacts across parties & nation. Good administrator and strategist. Focus on:   Building strong party leaders - 2nd level, giving equal opportunity to all people (leave caste politics) Suggestions:  Better to connect with BJP or TRS Blac
