This is/was one of my blogs. Just a few bits and pieces - IT, woodwork, metalwork, electronics, DIY, technology articles and anything else I might be currently interested in and get around to documenting.

There might be some broken things because this site was converted roughly from Wordpress to jekyll.

My main area of interest these days is political party innovation which I’m building a project for at political.nz

While often dismissed as low-brow or purely pornographic material by mainstream critics, these stories hold a specific place in vernacular digital literature: | Step | Action | |------|--------| | |

| Use‑Case | Suggested Approach | |----------|---------------------| | | Project one story on a screen, read aloud with expressive intonation, pause for discussion of the moral, then let students illustrate their favorite scene. | | Home Story‑Time | Parents can use the “mother‑voice” sections to model storytelling style—slow, rhythmic, with occasional questions to the child (“ఇలా చేసేమో?”) to keep engagement high. | | Creative Writing Prompt | After reading a story, ask students to write a “What if?” version—e.g., “What if the child had chosen the opposite path?” This nurtures critical thinking. | | Cultural Workshop | Pair a story with a hands‑on activity—e.g., after a tale about pappu (dal) cooking, conduct a simple cooking demonstration. | | Research Project | Compare a story from Amma Kama Kathalu with its counterpart in another Indian language (e.g., Hindi Maa ki Kahaniyan ). Note similarities and regional adaptations. | Use the Search Function | The PDF is OCR‑processed

Would you like me to add or modify anything?

If you have not yet explored the PDF, consider downloading a legal copy, reading a story or two, and sharing the warmth of “Amma Kama Kathalu” with the next generation. The simple act of turning a page may just be another way a mother’s love continues to ripple across time and space.
