lost legacy

After a long time I'm back. Almost an year... can't help. For me... the Time is running... and I'm running behind it. Leave it... no complaints.
I always think of writing about a lot of things. When I sit at the computer my mind goes blank... unable to decide what to write... In the office I write breaking news for Eenadu.net. So seven hours in a day I will be writing... writing... writing. That's why I easily get bored of writing, and prefer to read.
Friends... This year a lot of things happened. One sad thing is Ammanni and Vani aunts lost their last legacy of Surampally.  The house where Doctor tatagaru, ammamma lived was sold out in last August.  This is the last property of Yalamanchili brothers. After this we don't have anything to tell ... this is our grand parents..!
Ammanni pinni felt very sad. For few months she was always talking about her memories in the house. Once I thought to buy it... if my financial position was that good, I would have bought it really.
She wrote to me like this..

సూరంపల్లి తో చివరి బంధం తెగిపోయింది. చాల బాధగా ఉంది. అమ్మ నాన్న పోయినప్పుడు కలిగిన బాధ మళ్ళీ ఇప్పుడు కలుగుతోంది. ఇన్నాళ్ళు అక్కడ ఇల్లు ఉందంటే అమ్మ నాన్న ఉన్నారన్న ధైర్యం ఏదో ఉండేది. ఒక్కసారిగా ఇప్పుడు ఇక ఎవరూ లేరు... ఏమీ లేదన్న ఆలోచన తట్టుకోలేక పోతున్నాను... అక్కడ నుంచి తెచ్చుకున్న కొన్ని వస్తువులను తాకి... అమ్మ స్పర్శ గుర్తు తెచ్చుకుంటూ...
can't help. this is life. It should go on...
For one thing she is really lucky. She has got so many things which are sweet memories of past life. There are quite a number of photographs... people who want to know something about our ancestors, their way of life can go to their house. Both pinni and Bhanu babai are more than happy to share their riches. You can see the beautiful frocks she wore when she was just a few months old! True...! All are kept carefully all these days.
With Aditya's help I would try to post a few pictures here.
And I would like to share some happy moments in the next post.
