Toy Story

A story of a snake charmer who plays to see you happy :)


Did u see him before? he is ramu the snake charmer from a small village named Kondapalli in Andhra Pradesh. He was born on 15th December, 2006. He plays whenever he is happy and whenever he wants to see u happy......

this is how many like ramu are born each day.....men shape them and the women dress them up.......

Many of his friends are still there and many more like them are in the making.... he loved his village.... he lives elsewhere now but he sure loves the place, infact anyone who visits the place would.




Ramu....

polavaram project

5o years ago a project called 'polavaram project' was proposed by the govt of Andhra Pradesh. A dam would be constructed across the river Godavari at a height of 150 feet and was estimated to cost 9,000 crores. However, today the chief minister put this at 20,000 crores.


And for those thousands living there, well there is nothing much they can do. It's a real pity that the govt doesn't really consider the damage caused to the ecology and the people living there.


The project would submerge several archaeological sites like Gollagudem, Rudrama Kota and Tutigunta and unexplored coal deposits but what hits me the most is that the project will displace 1.45 lakh people in AP, Chhattisgarh and Orissa.
