Oh! it was a great feeling ...after so many years I had been to Tribal Area in East Godavari District. I visited Addateegala village, which is famously known as Naxals dominated area
.one of my fans Mr Nayana Srinivasa Reddy started " Amma Old age home" in Addateegala village. He requested me to launch the Old age home on 28 March 2010. I felt it was great privilege and went that place by traveling for two hours from Rajahmundry. Road to Addateegala is not nice, but still we made it.
I suppose to reach the venue morning 11am. Due to my delay on the way we have reached Addateegala by 1pm. I thought people must not be knowing who is Ghazal srinivas.
Surprisingly I was well received by all and everyone knows me. Thousands of people were waiting for me at premises and also both sides of the Road. I was thrilled to see the nicely constructed old age home in a lovely campus.
I have seen posters of mine all over the Tribal area with a caption "Manyam lo Ghazal". Oh I felt so honored that I am touring the areas where Alluri Seetha Ramaraju lived, fought against Britishers.
I sang for 90 minutes and all songs were well received. I was shocked when they asked me to sing the song "Oyi Teluguwada" for samaikhya Andhra.
I sang the song with fullest spirit and at the end of the song all audience they said
"Jai Samaikhya Andhra". one of the audience presented me " honey bottle" ..Oh that was really great gesture and that is greatest gift during my visit to Adddatheegala.
I promised organizers that Ghazal chartiable trust certainly support the cause of Old age home.
On the way back to Rajahmundry, I have seen the be natural beauty of Tribal area of Addatheegala, Rampachodavaram etc
I think every one should make a visit to that place
thanks to Srinivasa Readdy for giving a great importunity to launch a noble mission at Naxals effected area
