ETUNAGARAM TOUR ( EPISODE - 25 )

Auto Driver: - All the Autos that are standing in front of the lake are reserved, Sir. No one will take you to Chalvai bus stand. Do one thing. Walk another 3 Km from this place to reach Bussapur village. You will get shared auto from there.

*******************

Prady: - Uff, again, we need to walk back to Bussapur village. Come on, let us start walking again.

Arindam: - Wow, this lake also has boating facilities. We have overlooked it. See there; there are 5 paddling boats, but the irony is that not a single tourist of this lake is interested in boating. Some are enjoying the picnic and some are busy in romance with their female partners, he he he…

*******************

Arindam: - We have reached Bussapur. Now, it is 5.10 PM. But, I can’t see any shared Auto standing in the auto stand.

Stationary Shop Owner: - Aap log baithiye, saab. Abhi 5 minutes mein aur ek auto aa jayega.

Prady: - Ok, then, let us sit at the bench kept outside your shop. Can you give us 6 water pouches?

Arindam: - Hey, Prady, look there. Why is that man climbing on that Tal tree? Are they so fond of Tal?

Prady: - Yeah, they are interested in the juice of Tal fruit. They will prepare a local alcoholic drink known as ‘Taari’, by using that Tal juice.

Arindam: - Really, the people of Andhra Pradesh are too much alcoholic. I really wonder that how they drink these alcohols even in this hot climate.

Prady:- In Bengal, you cannot drink too much alcohols, as it hampers your digestive system because the drinking water of Bengal contains less minerals than that of Deccan area. Also, the climate of Deccan area is hot and dry, but no humidity. The water of this Andhra region is such that it helps to digest your food rapidly. That’s why, you can drink too much alcohol while living in Andhra Pradesh and it will not hamper your digestive system. Therefore, the Telugu people consider local alcohols as their energy drink or stimulant.

Arindam: - Hmm…ei, there is a shared auto. Let us go and sit inside it to reach the Chalvai bus stand.

*******************

Arindam: - How much we need to give?

Auto Driver:- Aap dono saathe mein hain ? Ok…then give me 12 bucks only.

*******************

Prady: - No, no, don’t board on this bus. It is too much crowded inside. We will wait for the next bus to Munna Road. Let us sit on this bench.

Arindam: - Hmm…so, today, we have walked 11 Km. From Chalvai to Lakhnavaram lake, it is 8 Km and then from the lake to Bussapur, it is another 3 Km, he he he…Boss, we were planning to go for a trekking at Narsapur forest area, but that never happened. But, today, unknowingly, we have done a trekking of 11 Km…See the fun.

Prady: - Yeah, yeah…you will understand the fun tomorrow morning, when you will try to wake up from your bed. Tomorrow morning, it will very difficult to move our legs freely. Come on…another bus is coming. Let us board on it.

********************

Arindam: - Oh! We have reached Munna Road. Come on; let us get down from the bus.

Prady: - Tonight, we must eat special Warangal mutton.

Arindam: - There is no Bengali restaurant in Warangal? Wait; let me ask this traffic police. Accha, iddhar koi Bengali restaurant milega?

Traffic Police: - Bengali restaurant! Aap Bengali khana khaatey…ok, issh raastey sey seedha chale jaiye aur 2nd right lane mein murh jaao…uddhar left side mein 4th restaurant, ek bangaali ka hain…

Prady: - Thanks a lot for providing the information.
