One of the things I love about Reading is the sheer number of different cultures we have. It's adds to the richness of life in the town. Today I had the chance to meet members of the Telugu Association of Reading and Around (TARA) and I received a very warm welcome.
I was treated to some very tasty food, excellent singing and dancing and great company. While I was there Mr Srinivasa Alluri was given a special recognition award for his work with Manavata and 3H - Healthy (food leads to), Happy (people and a more) & Harmonious (community).
TARA runs a lot of events throughout the year to educate children about their Telugu heritage which is rich in art, music, dance, language, poetry and family. I do hope they are part of the Year of Culture in 2016.
A big thank you to everyone who made me feel so welcome and the organisers of this wonderful event.
