"These people impress one as laidback in their colourful attire, rich with vibrant cries and laughter. Passing, one can see that most of the buildings are red brick, essentially one-storey structures and most dating back to the early 1940’s.

On arrival we were warmly greeted and welcomed in one of their homes in a tin-shed house with a big living area where they all gathered, mostly smiling and astonished faces of almost all ages to find out our purpose. Bright saris and lehangas hung from the clotheslines. We were offered steel plates bearing sweets made of brown and white sesame seed mashed with patali gur (jaggery)."  Read More

The Hindu Times, June 21, 2012

"Gone are the rural customs and way of living in our region. It’s not hyperbolic to say that our state has westernised by leaps and bounds compared to the rest of the country. Thanks to the multitudes who have made it to the US either for higher education or employment or both, their homecoming during vacation marked a heady revolution in their homes back in India be it villages, towns or cities. The kith and kin living in the precincts of some remote village in Andhra Pradesh have suddenly found themselves westernising their native dwellings to suit their children abroad." Read More
