It is a freezing November night in the United States. Inside a small apartment kitchen, a homesick Telugu student breaks down in tears over a bowl of bland, watery lentil soup.

For 6 months, he has not tasted home. He misses the fierce, tongue-searing fire of his grandmother’s Gongura chutney & Avakai mango pickle. His mother had tried to pack a glass jar of homemade pickle in his suitcase, but it leaked, ruined his clothes & got confiscated by customs.

Fast forward a few decades...

Inside a bustling Indian grocery store in bay area, a young girl walks down the spice aisle with her elderly grandfather.

The old man stops, reaches out to a shelf & picks up a familiar glass jar with a red lid. He smiles, turns it around & holds it up to his granddaughter.

"What is that, Thatha?" she asks.

He twists open the lid, lets the unmistakable aroma of roasted mustard seeds, oil & sun-ripened mango fill the air & whispers: This... is home.

B/w those 2 moments lies 1 extraordinary entrepreneurial story.

Across the world, 12000+ Kms away in Hyderabad, a 42 yr old media entrepreneur named Cherukuri Ramoji Rao sits at his desk.

He did not come from money, he was a farmer’s son from a small village in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh. He had already built an advertising agency (Kiron) & launched a game-changing Telugu newspaper (Eenadu). But Ramoji Rao was obsessed with a single, burning realization that nobody else in corporate India was seeing:

"An Indian can travel to the ends of the earth, change their clothes & speak fluent English but their tongue will always long for the soil they were born on."

In that moment, Ramoji Rao decided to do something insane: He was going to industrialize traditional, home-cooked, fiery South Indian pickles w/o losing a single drop of authentic flavor.

In the late 1970s, the packaged food industry told him it was impossible.

Traditional South Indian pickles (Pachadi) rely on massive amounts of mustard powder, sesame oil, coarse sea salt & raw green mangoes/Gongura. If you tried to package them commercially: Glass jars broke in transit. The oil turned rancid within weeks. Chemical preservatives ruined the authentic, sharp taste that grandmothers spent weeks perfecting in ceramic Jaadi pots under the blazing sun.

Ramoji Rao refused to accept defeat. In 1980, he established Priya Foods.

He hired food technologists, built stateof the art cold chains & pioneered heavy duty, leak-proof laminate pouch packaging & glass sealing engineered specifically to withstand the high acidity & oil content of Indian pickles.

When Priya Foods launched, traditionalists laughed. "Who buys pickle from a store when our mothers make it at home?"

Ramoji Rao knew his audience better than anyone. He targeted the massive wave of Indian students & professionals migrating to the US, UK, Middle East & Europe in the 1980s.

Priya Pickles became an overnight cultural phenomenon.
Suddenly, every South Indian family packing a suitcase for an international flight had a dedicated corner reserved for red & yellow jars of Priya Gongura & Avakai.

It was emotional survival gear for the diaspora. A single spoonful on plain white rice could transport a lonely engineer in Chicago straight back to his mother’s verandah in Vijayawada.

Priya Foods didn not stop at pickles. Ramoji Rao applied the exact same rigorous standardization to culinary pastes, instant masalas & mixes.

He turned a localized, backyard culinary art into a multi 100 cr food giant, giving 1000s of rural farmers a direct market for their red chilies, mangoes & sorrel leaves.

Cherukuri Ramoji Rao went on to build media empires, film cities & financial institutions. But in millions of homes across the globe, his grandest legacy is not written on a movie screen/newspaper front page, it is tasted in every single bite of a red, spicy pickle jar named Priya.

A group of women riders from Bengaluru completed an inspiring road trip across Sikkim, Nepal and Bhutan.

They successfully reached the high-altitude Nathula Pass, near the India-China border.

Age, for sure, is just a number 🫡

THE ONLY BIRD THAT DARES TO ATTACK AN EAGLE IS A CROW, BUT THE EAGLE NEVER FIGHTS BACK. HERE IS WHY:
1. The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle's back and peck at its neck.
Relentless. Annoying.
But the eagle... stays calm.
2. The eagle doesn't flap. Doesn't fight. Doesn't waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.
3. The higher the eagle soars. The thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can't handle the altitude.
4. Eventually, the crow gasps. Loses strength...And falls off.Not because the eagle attacked
But because the eagle ascended.
5. Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don't have to respond. Just keep going higher.
6. They can't follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. So don't engage. Elevate.

Turning abandoned malls into retirement communities is actually a pretty good idea. Keep the food courts and movie theaters. Keep a few storefronts for groceries, a pharmacy, a general store, various medical needs, etc. The rest of the stores can be converted into apartments.

Some people can say some of the most controversial and Meany stuff and get away without being blamed and some people even with good intention gets bashed for small stuff. May be they are just lucky or have a way with words. Whatever it is good for them

@realhyderabad86 Marredpally - near to city and has greenery (my place). We have more gated colonies than communities
Sainikpuri, AS Rao nagar - nice greenery and also westernised
Yapral, Safilguda- don’t know much about it but most new gated communities are from here

[Maddy @itsmadsden]

@realhyderabad86 Yep agreed but then I think once density kicks in, traffic would be bonkers there also. (I know the roads are awesome but still don't know) I take 1 hr from SEC(peak hrs) and ppl in pragatinagar and bachupally takes the same time(my friends told that was not the case before).

[Maddy @itsmadsden]

@realhyderabad86 Having that said - too much of price everywhere. Agreed it is ready to move but still the quotation is 11.2k per sqft. Don't know where the market is going?

[Maddy @itsmadsden]

@realhyderabad86 Thanq 4 d info. Yeh masjid banda is a bottleneck but location wise, my selling points - 1) Huge HCU campus which gives quality air 2) Aged people have everything not only within the society but also the area. Kokapet is great but still old people commutation is little problem
