I grew up in Andhra Pradesh, and for us, rice was a staple. Meaning, it had to be affordable, as we ate lots of it. This was not a major issue most of my life, as we obtained the 'normal' rice wherever we moved- except sometimes in Kerala, where we encountered a love for boiled rice. Did not really get used to that. In the US, there was a 'Mahatma' brand long grain rice we used to eat.
Now, I am getting used to a new normal in Delhi- Basmati. Probably named after Rani Roopmati, it is lovely, and expensive. My search for other varieties continues.
There is also an unusual Kawadiya yatra that is on right now, apparently people carrying on their shoulders two jars of water from the river Ganga at Haridwar all the way to Delhi- walking! Amazing, and a nightmare for traffic (us).

I am an Aquarian yet do not indulge in such water bearing feats of endurance.. go figure
this story has a happy ending. Found some normal rice vendors too.
Better you visit Big Bazaar, you will find lots of verity there. Including the Ambemore.
Thanks, RPI.
