what in a name - Everything - Finding a village with my surname - Malleboyina Pally Village

14/11/19

No man is an island. we are bound by our families and our family names.

With a name like Anil Ramesh, most people assure me that my family name is Anil and that my name is Ramesh. But my family name is Malleboyina.

During a visit to Kurnool, I spotted this signboard. Malleboyinapalle village. Our village from where our ancestors went all the way to Kadapa and to Rajampeta. Malleboyinapalle is 88 kilometers away from Hyderabad on the Hyderabad- Kurnool-Bangalore route. It falls under Jadcherla Mandal.

Today as we were returning from Rayalaseema University, had the fortune to visit and interact with village elders of my village. It was a memorable time and thanks to Madhusudan Kota for capturing the event for posterity. Yes, I am proud. How many of us get an opportunity to trace roots from where we originated? Truly lucky me!
