The following one is a fictiotios piece on Andhra University surroundings.
Characters are not real but the Pidiraju bajjii koTTu is real. The
paiDira'ju bajjii koTTu used to be on the other side of the road,
somewhat in the centre opposite to the Out Gate and In Gate. This is
again an example of Ganjam-Visakha Telugu.
This is the Telugu that has to be preserved (in print).

[Paidiraju occupies the Univ. land. He depends upon
Mr. Arasavilli who works in the registrar's office so
that no univ. authority can give him any trouble.
Arasaville really takes care of Paidiraju. In return,
Paidiraju treats Arasaville very nice. Is this bribing?
or Treating each other nice? That is the way things
do work there, opposite to the Bay of Bengal.]
