Araku valley looks same past many years. I dont know why

I dont know... a few years back, during my college days, I dont know.


Yes, i realy dont know, what is happening to me. What my ideas were occupied with are so called "enjoyment" found in bike rides, diluted drops of C2H5OH and burnt 3-[(2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl]pyridine.



When i've been to Araku valley for the first time, i was thrilled and excited looking at the beauty over there. people and smiles. posing for the photos taken for every now and then.

I was glad, that i am enjoying my life.. a few of my frnds dreamt of buying some land over there and live during the retirement life.

I saw that it is green all the way... it is so beautiful and was in a thought that this could be "painkiller for anyone".



Later on, after 3 yerars... after my graduation exams are done... all my frnds planned for a long drive of about 400KM on bikes, towards all the natural beauties in and around Araku valley. I was so excited to be there again... i was having a "wow" feeling. It was a complete 4 days trip.

The day has come, we started towards Paderu first and then towards Araku and then covered a few other villages around... all of us were very happy drivng.



Then i realised that, Araku is looking the same way as it was earlier... I dint see proper roads, good living conditions.. Majorly, the ppl are living in the same conditions. In the span of 3 yrs, nothing has happened, or i am not able to see the development??



I was surprised, that why nobody is questioning?

Then later when i spoke to a person over there, i got the answer, that ppl here do question, but din't get any answer from anyone... :O
On the bikes, we were riding in the night time, and we were alerted that there are Maos in the Paderu forests.

Later i thought, OK the Maos are there, they might be questioning, demanding the govt. It was that time, i learnt that recently firing happened in the forest. I think, it was because somebody is questioning/demanding for the basic needs.. the forest which look green while you go on roads is not actually green inside.. it turned red with the bloodshed.


The only personals getting a gain out from Araku are seems like, the travel agents, resorts and a few others, but not the villagers.

Yes, i saw that the resorts has changed their structural arrangements, how they look.

Travel agents have a good building over there.

We go there to those buildings/resorts and appreciate saying "wow.!! Araku has developed".. I dont see a sense/logic in commenting that. Development is not having nice banglows but food for the people.

I saw ppl sleeping on the roads.. ppl have been living in the huts for the past 63 years.

You dint notice that?? how fool are you to comment that "Araku is developping".. No, it is not Araku that has developed, it the corporates that developed.



Next time when you go to Araku, please get an info on how many schools, hospitals are built and how many roads were repaired, literacy rate before you commenting on development of Araku.


One of my frnd's mother is a teacher in a govt school at Araku.. he told me that the parents over there don't send their childrent to school but to work. He told me that ppl are not interested in going to school.. and one of my frnds from my college, started an NGO which will make villagers/tribals realise the importance of education...


Well, i want you to understand, why would any parent wants the kid not to study but to work?? What i know is that they are living in such conditions which compell them to work all the day.

If you look at the statistics, According to planning commission in India, there are about 75% of ppl in india living with below 25rs a day.. so how can you ask them to send their kids to school??
what we want here, is the uplift of living standards, not the corporate styles.

47% of the children exhibit a degree of malnutrition in India, ranking 2 in the world for malnutrition after Bangladesh. (So, if Bangladesh was not partitioned from India then we would be ranking 1 in malnutrition) [Source:Wiki].. Wouldn't that be sarcastic, if somebody wants to open an NGO to make the parents realise how important it is to feed their kids?? it is the same way with the schools.


Stop saying the word development, till everybody in India has equal freedom, equal rights. and major thing is when poor are not getting poorer.. I want you to think, why Araku is still called "Tribal area". Let that painting you always drew in your childhood with sunrays between the mountains come true.
