సూరా అల్-ఫాతిహా అల్లాహ్‌పై దృష్టి పెట్టమంటుంది, ఇతర ఆకర్షణలపై కాదు, కష్ట సమయంలో ఆశనిస్తుంది. సరైన దారి కోసం ప్రార్థన తికమకలో మంచి నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకోవడానికి సాయపడుతుంది.

Ballia Reunion on 7.1.2026

Image
My dear friends, Sometimes, life gives us a second chance to step into a photograph we thought had faded. This is the story of one such gift —a get-together of the  Ballia Babuas  on  07.01.2026  at the  Ramapriya Convention, Vijayawada . It began, as all beautiful things often do, with a simple message. About fifteen days prior, our dear friend  Mr. Ramachandra Rao Ji  posted an invitation in our WhatsApp group—a digital call that echoed across years and kilometres. Day by day, he added names to an animated list, each confirmation a spark rekindling a fire that had last burned in  Ballia , a town in eastern Uttar Pradesh on the banks of the Ganga. For those who may not know, Ballia is more than a place on a map. It is where our former Prime Minister, Shri Chandra Sekhar, hailed from. It is where the SMMTPG College once opened its doors to students from Andhra Pradesh, offering a bridge—a one-year Remedial Course—that allowed us to pursue dreams i...

My dear frineds, Greetings to you all. In this post I am sharing my memories attached to "Ballia", where I studied the one year Remedial Course and 2 years M.Sc(Ag) Economics Course, from 1980 to 83, in the SMMTPG College, Ballia.  Folloing is our College Photo. This is the back side of the college. After receipt of the front side photo, I will update it.   During the 1st year, I stayed in the College Hostel. And for the next two years, along with    Mr. Lakshmi Narayana [a M.Sc course student from Vijayawada], I took a Room on rent, in the Police Lines, Ballia. The House owner was Mrs. Suseela Gupata, a teacher. She, her Son     Mr. Suneel and we both students, use to stay in that House. Mr. Lakshminarayana vacated the room after completion of his course. Then Mr. Kishore, Mr. Ramesh Babu, Mr. A V Ramana Reddy and Mr. Surendra become my roommates.  Following are my M.Sc(Ag) Economics Course batchmetes. 1. R. G. Upadyay, Associate Professor 2. Dr....
