BKP 87 re-union

BKP 87 Batch re-union - 23rd Sept 2018

"School get-togethers take on a whole new meaning as you get older" 
"Now it's been three full decades since I met, or seen, 95% of those classmates with whom I spent seven hours a day, six days a week in 1986-87, of my life" - Mekala Reddy

 What have I done with the passed 31 years ? Who am I now ? 
And have I turned into what they, and I, expected me to be ? 
How do I, the 46-year-old me, compare with my 16-year-old self: thinking, fun & talk !? 
Am thinking about what surprises might lay out there - on 23rd Sept '18 ? I have absolutely no idea what to expect, but....
  • the event day closes, the heart beat increases...
  • the time I am spend with my mates is more joyful, fun full & secured feeling
  • when the time reaches to say 'See You / Bye', these words become most painful !!
  • And those 6 hours memories are: stories of my life & will remain till my last breath 
My observation in our last re-union (05 July 2015):
  • Some Greets everyone with a genuine welcome, and really seems to delight in rekindling old friendships.
  • Some are Shy & wait everyone come and wish
  • Some takes "Wife Role", guiding people, saying what to do & how to do .... :)
  • My Bharosa blog   , Mohan's blog - Bharosa 87

Boyakonda

Image
One of the most visited place in Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. I think Boyakonda Gangamma temple receive most devotee's aftter Tirumala and Kanipakam. What is there ? Boyakonda is remote place with Gangamma temple on top of small stonny hill. The temple is popular to people in AP, Tamilnadu and Karnataka who believe Gangamma goddess.  When to Visit ? You can plan to visit all days but majority of pooja's and visitors prefer Sunday and Tuesday. Location : Boyakonda is located near Chowdepally (6 kms), on the way to Madanapalli (15 kms) and 12 kms from Punganur. Better to reach the place on your own vahicle because busses from Chowdepally, Madanapalli and Punganur are normally heavy crowded. Speciality : Two major specialities of the temple.....traditionally, people who want to take decisions (by keeping flower on Goddess head, if it falls on right side then their dream comes true, otherwise :) ) and rest are coming here to pray by sacrificing animals / bi...

Jaggery making (In telugu: Ganuga aadatam) is a long process for the forming community and the duration involves very long hard working days but lot of fun is possible as many folks will be working. Normally, the work involves: Cutting sugar cane, moving them from field to prep place, cleaning canes, crushing them through Crusher machine, moving cane juice to storage tank which is in the process of heating the juice, boiling pawn, making the jaggery to shapes, drying them, transporting them to home and keeping them in storage room. I spent many years working this (Ganuga aadatam) which is normally 30 to 50 days, yearly once, starts in Feb / Mar time frame of the year. Olden days, sugar cane was crushing using crushers powered by Oxes and later crushers were run using Diesel oil or Electricity. Eating stages of Jaggery process: Sugarcane, Juice, Paaku (when it is 70% completion), Lakkili (when it is ~90% completion), Jaggery. Watch Jaggery making video too, if interested :...
