A For Andhra border

The Andhra border has emerged as a new feature in the north and south directions of Bhadrachalam. With bifurcation done on 2 June 2014, a new state, Telangana, was created, for which a long struggle in different forms has taken place. Apart from all other things, what it made specifically for the temple town and the pilgrims is a matter worth pondering. And it does relate to surrounding villages too. Well, let's think of its north side. Within less than a few meters distance, ASR District of Andhra Pradesh welcomes you. It's almost the intertwining borders of both states to behold. If you want to go to Parnasala by bus or any other vehicle, which has to travel almost 15 to 16 km in the Andhra region and later it reappears in Telangana, the same to be continued in the return journey also.

It made all commuters feel uncomfortable, and many employees from far-off places in AP have been transferred here at the newly created posts. The journey became tedious with two different policies and taxes of states. Either side looks not happy. Some would say it could have been much better if the entire temple town merged in Andhra state since it has been an entity up to 1956. Now and then overtures get surfaced to get back the lost 5 panchayats into Telangana to facilitate the lives of residents. Firm decision and execution is the need of the hour. Let's hope it is done at the possible earliest. However, the classic example of crossing another state at every instance can be seen here.

Theme Reveal #BlogchatterA2Z

Renowned Lord Rama's temple at Bhadrachalam

 This is second time taking part in #BlogchatterA2Z and very exciting if I can do it successfully. Deep down somewhere in my mind, there was something that says shed all your unnecessary doubts, you can do it as you have did it earlier.

 My theme , this time is, all about a small pilgrim town Bhadrachalam and a couple of surrounding villages. I have a special intention in choosing these places. Because all these places impacted me in several ways in my early life. 

The streets, people, festivals, socio cultural issues, and what not everything that belonged to the above places would be part of my upcoming # Blogchatter A2Z posts.

I know that it's not a smooth sailing to have an alphabet for desired concept but let me take it as a challenge to do a little home work. India's real diversity can be seen in small towns and villages.

  I am not saying it as an arm chair intellectual. I have travelled almost all states in India and some Asian countries, with exception of some North Eastern states.

 The more I travelled , the more I loved my country. India looks diverse on its surface but you go deeper, there is some unity in everything. 

Everyone has to gauge it personally. This is what I understand in my life. Best wishes for all my co- travellers of #BlogchatterA2Z.
