WELCOME TO VINUKONDA - My Town!!


The picture was taken when I was out to shoot something for my blog; and somehow I intrigued with this one; not that it was intriguing in and it self but somehow my mind glued to it; but the truth is no where is it better written than it is at the Railway Station. It was actually taken at the Railway Station; probably some of you might have got it already. Does anybody know why it has got the combination of yellow and black? Some say it was started off by the 'British' when they were ruling the country; and it continues even after the 'independence'. Probably, it is the best combination to be used in the 'Railway Realms'. It is in 'Telugu' on top and in 'Hindi' in the middle and of course it is in 'English' on the board. Don't get me wrong as though I am trying to explain it to you who knows what is what; I also have to bear in mind about friends whose knowledge is not wide enough on India.
'
Vinukonda' is just like any other normal town in Andhra Pradesh India; probably a bit different to the ones in northern India. It has got about 52,519 people living in it. Does it constitute a huge city in some other country? I don't know. But, here in India 'population' is not taken into consideration to make small places turn into cities. people can be anywhere. Be it in a city or in a village; one thing you cannot miss is that 'people'. You find people everywhere and 'Vinukonda' is no exception. I shall continue to up load pictures of 'Vinukonda' for the coming few days. Just to give you the picture of what it is like being in here. So see you soon.
