20/10/16, 8:16:27 AM: Raji Pings . Rajeswari: Good Morning Kanni,
Great that you remember Babunanna(we used to call him like that) garu' s 100 th Birthday and celebrating.
I was lucky to have your Parents' hospitality many times in child hood. We used to enjoy our times in your house in Seetammadhara and also vastness of the Sea. After my 12 th alsoI came there to write entrance exam for B.Stat in ISI.
He is a very noble man, very generous, affectionate and helpfu to all. I remember he used to sell Postal stamps, cards and envelopes for no profit for the convenience of near by. Have numerous fond memories and I get inspired on recollecting them.

20/10/16, 8:40:23 AM: Buvvi : Nice idea Kanni
When I think of Peddanannagaru .. Hanuman Challisa and tea are the first to come to my mind . Him sitting in his easy chair singing bhajans .
We all got tea in the afternoon with biscuits to dunk ( something I really looked forward to 🙂 )
The aroma of tea brewed a certain way always reminds me of Vizag . Fun times we had playing there .
20/10/16, 8:43:23 AM: Buvvi : Oh yeah .. And his ' chidatalu' too :)
20/10/16, 8:51:36 AM: Bujji: He was a noble soul...a rare combination of Nehru's looks and Gandhi's heart
20/10/16, 8:53:32 AM: Bujji: Inspite of not being in the best of health ...he (&doddamma) took the trouble to attend my thread ceremony @ vizianagaram in 1992
20/10/16, 8:53:55 AM: Bujji: So kind of him (them)
20/10/16, 8:54:20 AM: Bujji: That was our last
meeting.
20/10/16, 9:15:03 AM: Pindi : I understand what Buvvi is saying. that aroma of tea still lingers in my mind even after 40 years
For all msg - In spite of being busy you all remembered him - And wrote20/10/16, 9:17:15 AM: Raji Pings . Rajeswari: THANK YOU Bujji , Buvvi , Pindi Sreenu.
