Our
neighbour Sastry garu commented, " Ours is a special street, we always
have the sacred akash ganga falling on us from heavens and flowing
through the street every now and then. Especially during the summer months it
is full of water quenching the thirst of the parched cement road.”
Puttaparthi has the luxury of
having one bore well in each apartment. Due to the boon of uninterrupted
power supply, the denizens have the comfort of switching on the bore well
whenever they want. Chalapati the caretaker of a neighbouring building says,
his chest puffed up with pride, “I was in Anantapur recently, there they have
twelve hours of power cuts but we have none in Parthi, you see this is the
abode of the lord.” He switches on the motor switch and adds, “Cities like
Kurnool and Vijayawada have minimum eight to ten hours of power cuts. I heard
that even Hyderabad has a load shedding of six hours a day. Even the temple
town of Tirupati faces a load shedding of six hours.”
