Visit to my village for the Centenary Celebrations of the Sri Butchiramiah High School - 22 Feb 2020

Preparations:
21 Feb 2020

Given the possible need to be at Vishakapatnam, I could not finalize my trip to Peravali earlier.
Now that our lawyer Sri Ramakrishna garu at Vizag, indicated that travel is not needed, I decided at 10:00 on 20 Feb to plan for travel to Peravali.
Cannot miss the 100 year celebrations of the school, where my Grandfather taught ! And all my aunts, uncles and father studied.
Some photos of the invite and fully managed by my cousins initiative!

Invitation: 


Anand's exams for PUC 1 year completed on 20 Feb and both us of flying Bangalore to Vijayawada on 22 Feb 2020.
We need to be at the venue by 9:45 am as the school function starts by 10:00 am.
Excited, as never been to the Gannavaram airport. Plan is to rent a zoom car and drive down to Peravali. Its a distance of 70 KM - 15 km from airport to city and from there 35 km to Tenali. Another 21 km to Peravali.
Have enticed Anand, that he may just get a chance to drive on the back roads towards Peravali ;-)
