Dear friends and respected Ganesam sir

reached rampachodavaram completed breakfast.
finally reached sunnapadu and met with group..
--School children shows very good obedience, it is really amazing
--Main problem of that village is monkeys., same we are facing in our farm also, but my feeling is, although problem is there with monkeys, they are not trying to overcome, simply highliting the problem.
-- most of them are alcoholic and do not do work, simply depend upon women and govt free schemes.
--- another one weed namely galidukka, which is spoiling the main crop, same was given weed scientist, i may get feedback soon
---old mans house, for fishtail palm climbing, climber made with bamboo is very nice and having many specious in hi compound..
---Another intersting thing discussed with Brig sir is turmaaric with out boiling, but as per literature for uniform colour, starch geletanisation and softness in powder, taste and to reduce drying time boiling is needed and process was standadised,
from there walked to nuripudi village...while walking i interacted many yatis
