DR TKT: Tata studied in Taylor High School, Narsapur. The environment wasn't great for education those days. Tata's ancestors had lands stretching from TANUKu to Narsapur. With no income and upper caste style of living these were squandered and sold till hardly anything was left by the time Tata grew up. He studied MSc(AGL) in Coimbattor and further (MA) in Banares Hindu university.
He was always a very generous and kind hearted man - to the extent of 'annoying' Ammamma I ofcourse it didn't take much to annoy her :). ( She was also extremely kind and sensitive to other's needs...and her annoyance was largely 'pretend'!). Life wasn't easy for her. While in Ramachandrapuram, her mother died in Amalapuram. So her father moved to Korukonda with Ayyengar, Rangayya, Chudamani, Ammani, Ramanujam, Rajyam ) but Amalapuram ata's brothers refused to care for them for too long. This brought out the BESt in Our TATA. He took all the kids ( girls) to Ramachandrapuram till Amalapuram tata remarried and set up a home again in Amalapuram. While in Gurajala, Aigo was born in Rentuchintala. When tata was studying in benares (with A Ravindernaath, now in Toronto) Chandu mavashi was born in Amalapuram.

per Ammamma, Peddatataas was a "bootlicker!"
