Our house had only 1 room and 1 kitchen (of course bathroom separate). We are 3 siblings and our parents, all used to be in that same room. Intlo chadavadaniki disturbance ani, near by temple ki velli chaduvukune vanni..

Most of my life I spent in that temple only. It was 500 yrs old temple and was very huge. We used to play cricket, 7 stones in that temple only. Mornings/evenings prasadam pedithe tinadam.  It's almost like my home.

And whatever little time temple is closed, I used to spend in Sakhaa Grandhalayam, reading all sorts of Telugu books, stories, literature...

God...I want that life back, I was so innocent and naive that the lack of money never bothered me. I was just simply oblivious. Luckily I never compared myself with others. I sort of took it for granted that some people are rich and some are poor.

I think middle class people enjoy life the most.  Nenu alane periga joint family lo padi mandi to always adjust avutu. I feel it a blessing and also curse sometimes. All i can say is i was extremely happy then.  Eppudu emunna happiness ayite ledu.
