Hearing about Rahul Rai’s childhood days can cause envy. His parents are from Mangaluru so during his annual vacations to India, he would spend time at his grandparents’ home in what he calls “the middle of nowhere.” Back in the 90s, these estates had power cuts and rarely had television and Internet access. “Some of the best memories are when the power would go out,” he recalls over a video call with MetroPlus from his home in Los Angeles. “It becomes part of the daily routine, to sit with torchlights in the common area, tell stories and be one with Nature.” He reminisces about eating delicious food off banana leaves, listening to his aunt and uncle speak Tulu in a certain witty way, watching the farmers carry heavy loads during the workday and how all this activity inspired a lot of excitement in him. .The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
