This afternoon, I am watching an emotional Chiranjeevi announcing his entry into politics.

This morning, we went to Srila Residency opening ceremony. Srila Residency is an ongoing project of Srila builders at Miyapur. This 14 storied apartment complex has facilities like club house, pool, etc. The plan and other details are available at their website.

On Rakhi day, Spurthi and Surya featured the “I Love NY” shirts they bought during their recent US trip. There is a continuous inflow of relatives on the day. We also visited Sekhar’s place to meet Vishal, Milind and Sreya there. Rohit and Rishita stopped by for lunch. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Thanks Neelu for sending Rakhi across the globe.
