Telkapally - The village where I was born and spent all my childhood time.
In 2000 I left my village and then after I can count the number of visits on fingers
I always want to be there but at the end of every visit I had tears in my eyes.
Almost after 2 years….
My friend Laxman called me and said he is getting married. I said I will surely come to your marriage reception.
On 27th, I woke up at 6 in the morning and I started on my bike at 7.30.
I was driving my bike all the way around at 90-120kmph.
On the way I saw a devastating accident where two lorry’s collided. I paused for few minutes and started again.
In couple of hours I reached my village. 120km in just two hours…
The moment I stopped my bike in front of the famous Karim’s hotel some other biker came fast from backside and collided with my bike and he fell down.
Thank god… nothing more than small scratch on my bike silencer.. otherwise this time I would be having tears in my eyes at the start of the visit itself..
I just thought for a moment, Telkapally is surely not the lucky place for me…
On two of my previous visits, I had two accidents with my car. One was because of my driving mistake and the other serious one because of a brainless auto driver. On each occasion no injuries to anybody but loss of money….
Once again began with a minor accident…
I went straight to my home to see my grandmother but she was not there.. L
Back to my friends home where the reception arrangements were going on.. I didnt find a single friend.. .. disappointment....
I met my friend and wished him.. chatted for an hour...
I came out and took my bike and went to see my old friends.. no body was there at home and I just their parents and came back..
This time I went back to my school Siddhartha Vidyalam.. where I studied from 1st class to 7th class..
I met Vijay and Srinivas guruji’s and chatted for sometime..
Went back to Naveen home and again spend sometime there..
Meanwhile all the arrangements for the reception completed at Laxman’s home and reception started..
My friends Sai, Bhasker, Raju and Naveen joined and we went together to wish the new Couple..
We had nice lunch there and everyone dispersed..
I came back to my home now my grandmother is there.. spent an hour there and returned for Hyderabad..
I started at 3pm and reached Hyderabad at 4.45.. this time 120 km in 105 mins..
It’s all again the same routine in Hyd......
