One thing that infuriated me these days is change of my district name - Nellore as "Sriramulu District". Who the heck is this Sri Ramulu? Why should my district name changed to his name. What if his ancestors are born here? Idiotic governments run by morons like YSR doesnt have any useful business to do or what? Why cant he change Kadapa district name to Sriramulu District .
Why is this sycophancy to get votes of Arya-Vysya community. They are fine with a majority of that community in businesses and trade. They have very good self support with many charities run by the communities wealthy.. I have great respect for that community. Almost all my friends are from that community. But why change the name!!! God save Andhra Pradesh from these morons.
Dont mistake me. I respect Potti Sriramulu. Nothing matches his selflessness and act of courage to give one's life for the cause he believed in. Please erect statues, include his biography in curriculam, understand that great man and also importantly follow his principles. Not just a silly symbolic move like name change.

Toyota, Be my Valentine....
I may be mistaken for a Republican if you just read the title. Please read on to get the complete context.
Usually our cars give few miles less than EPA mileage because we do not always drive in ideal conditions. Recently I drove to Key West on Overseas Highway (US 1). When I casually checked the mileage, I went for a shock. My Toyota Camry Hybrid gave 47.3 miles per gallon (20.11 KM Per Liter) all the time running AC but with an average speed of 40 miles per hour due to traffic. It is a very good gas mileage I believe. Toyota is one of the few companies that got their hybrid strategy right. If they could bring their price levels a little bit low, they can really claim to reduce the green house emissions significantly.
