<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Sometimes I wonder what <b>IF</b>, I could change one thing I did or
the one step that I took or one choice that I made in the past. That is a <b>BIG IF </b>and there is nothing I can
change about it but what I can change is my future by choosing right now how I want
to live the rest of my life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span> </span>âTwo roads diverged in the yellow wood,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">And that has made all the differenceâ-
the famous poem âThe Road not takenâ by Robert Frost is one of the best
example of the dilemma of choosing. <span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">As
per the William Glasser, âall the choices we make are to satisfy the five basic
needs: survival, love & belonging, power, freedom and fun.â People may
argue that having a free choice is mankindâs greatest gift and also its greatest
curse, but for me, the choice is the purest form of free will (way better than the
freedom promised by our constitution). In book <i>Manâs Search for Meaning</i>, the Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist
Viktor Frankl observed that âEverything can be taken from a man but one thing:
the last of the human freedomsâto choose oneâs attitude in any given set of
circumstances, to choose oneâs own way.â If there was no choice then a person
might never grow mentally because only by choosing we learn to be responsible
and get to know our capabilities. For a child most of the things,
likes/dislikes, wrong/rights etc. are decided by the parents but as he/she grows
older decision may still be influenced by other but choices are his/her
personal. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">For
some people making choices is hard because they hate to make decisions as they
are always afraid of the consequences of a wrong decision. For them, every
decision they make is like making a commitment to a choice and sticking with
it. The main problem is when they face a situation where they have to make a choice;
they overlook at the long term impact on their life but only worry
about the immediate results. <span> </span>And then there is another
kind who can make choices like making tea using tea bags. They donât get
confused by the options available and sort out things/priorities/emotions in
their mind and then just apply the basics in each situation they face. </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 16px;">From a simple thing of getting up on time in the morning or what to eat for lunch to where you want to see yourself in the next 10 years or to choose a partner, the range of choices is unimaginable and overwhelming.</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Our
faith, core values and attitude towards life are influenced by our choices.
<span> </span>Materialistic choices like Education,
job, location, financial decisions are relatively easy to choose.<span> </span>But what most people struggle with is relationships
and a person should choose them wisely as they affect our thoughts & life
more than we can think of. <span> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">We
live in an unprecedented age of options and sometimes making choices can be a little difficult as choosing something inherently means giving up something
else. But the best choices in life are the ones whose consequences align with
your long term goals, even if they are hard in the beginning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

is always a choice and that choice makes all the difference in life. Period.</b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Voltaire said âWe
never live; we are always in expectation of livingâ.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We
all have dreams and where there is a dream there has to be a sea of expectations.
And when these expectations rule our lives, we surely end up disappointing
someone (mostly yourself) in the process because we start measuring our success
with an ambiguous scale. But how can one be sure what does he want, till he
gets what he wants and see if he likes it or not? In this unending pursuit of
desires, a person gets lost in the maze created by himself. But the irony is
that these expectations/desires play a very important role in shaping our zeal
to achieve our goals. So the question is how do we know whether expectations
are good or bad. Actually, the answer is simple â replace your expectations with
hope. Because an expectation is a strong belief that something will happen while
ignoring the possibilities of failure, while hope is a light belief that
something will happen and at the same time acknowledging that other part. We
need to accept life with all its unpredictability, as happiness only exists
in acceptance. Of course, life will bring many challenges, such as the death
of/ separation from someone we love, and itâs not easy to embrace those
feelings when weâre suffering and wishing those things would have never
happened. But if we start cultivating acceptance in our lives right now, weâll
likely cope with future crises in a different way and view them from a
different perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We
expect to change our life for good by doing simple things like lose weight,
read more books or become a better person, but we are flawed, imperfect and can
be easily distracted. And whenever we fail we consistently let ourselves down
and fall short of our goals and feel disappointed. But we should never give up
on ourselves or lose hope. And as Andy Dufresne in the letter to Red (in movie Shawshank
Redemption) wrote, âhope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good
thing ever dies.â Accept your failures and try to improve just 1 % each day. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">You need to stop focusing on the end results and
start paying attention to the process, believe me, you will achieve anything in
your life. </span></span></div>

things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big thingsâ.-

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They
say gratitude attracts positive people in your life who make it easier for you
to handle the stressful situations, but often we forget to show our gratitude
to the most important people in our life i.e. our family. Itâs true that we donât
get to choose them but they sure are the one who have stayed with us through
thick and thin. Our parents laid the foundation path that we walk on and our
families had supported us to achieve our goals. Still, we often neglect their
roles in our life. In pursuit of an illusion of something or someone better
for us, rather an appreciating what we have we tend to take it for granted. Never
take your family and friends for granted, because one day, they wonât be around
to be taken for granted any longer; and regret is a tough pill to swallow.
People donât get over regret, but they do get over the loss of a loved one and
take solace in how much that loved one knew how much you loved, respected and
valued them while they were alive. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes
we all work hard to become independent and self-sufficient but in that process, we become an âavoidantâ- distancing from the loved ones and sometimes even from
our self. Initially, we ignore the people and slowly we start ignoring our own feelings.
But we need to learn from the past and make a promise to ourselves that weâll sort
out all the unresolved issues and things left unsaid because much unhappiness
has come into the world because of this bewilderment. Make efforts to correct the
things youâve been doing wrong for a very long time and before trying to make amends
to the relationships, first make with your inner self. Share your present with
the people you love and enjoy the journey because happiness is not a
destination. And the one thing that can change your life for good and help you find
the satisfaction youâve been searching for is â Gratitude. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Emotions make us human, denying them makes us
beasts. â Victoria Klein<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">As a human, weâre meant to feel all kind of emotions like joy, fear,
surprise, sadness, disgust, anger etc. And the feelings that you yourself are
afraid to acknowledge are the most important ones in moulding your perception
about life and behaviour with others. As a child, weâre open about feelings but
as we grow older we hide them thinking that sharing them (even with the people
you love) will reflect weakness on our part. We start pretending to be strong,
calm and confident all the time, and we try to bottle up our emotions as if
itâs somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life. Even though we know that
emotions come and go and canât be controlled so thereâs no reason to worry
about them but still we move in the cave of solitude with so much left unsaid
and so many feelings buried inside. And by the time we realize it, we think
itâs too late and we start questioning will those words/feelings matter
now or what if the other person wonât acknowledge them and then there is always
that part of our ego stopping us.</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And believe me, once the opportunity is lost; weâre
the culprit and weâre the victim at the same time. Silence is not the answer
when the situation demands us to speak out. So, Iâll suggest you to start talking
about it because talking puts words to feelings and allows us to share whatâs
happening in our minds and let others into our worlds. Telling somebody that
you are sad can take some of the sadness away and sharing joy will add more
joy. It eases the burden of feeling like the entire world is on our shoulders when in reality that couldn't be farther from the truth, even if there isn't an
immediate solution to what we are feeling, sharing these emotions with someone has a tremendous positive impact on our mind and heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After the lockdown (due to the pandemic COVID-19)
we had more time with ourselves to reflect upon our life and share the time (that
we never had) with our family. But in reality, weâre still living in our cave of
solitude and social media is the only place where we feel free and safe to share. For
a family, the most important part of the day is the time when all members eat together and
talk about their life, but now that also is occupied in binge-watching or
scrolling the endless feeds. People think that they live in the most connected
world yet the ironically everyone feels so lonely; as most of them are looking
for acknowledgement from the unknown random people on the internet rather than
talking or celebrating with the one with whom theyâre sharing the most
important part of life i.e. the Present. People talk over chats for hours
without noticing that something was missing there and that something was the
attention required for building a strong foundation of the relationships. People
scroll for hours with the hope to find nothing. We care about the number of likes
on the celebration photographs rather than appreciating the efforts of those
whoâre present right there and enjoying the moment. Now the strength of the relationship is somehow
related to the speed of the internet. That instant gratification of notification
from the social platform is destroying personal lives more than one can
imagine. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I say this is the loneliest generation that
mankind has ever witnessed. But there is still hope, as the hope is like a
star â not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity but only to be discovered
in the night of adversity. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<p dir="ltr">He would always hide his pains, insecurities and fears<br>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">"A city that never sleeps still called the city of dreams." The cosmopolitan glory and the mesmerizing views of the seashore engulf the unforgiving nature of life that breaths in the narrow streets of the city. After a 2-hour flight journey, we arrived at the airport and this city was celebrating the Muharram and Ganpati Visarjan at the same time. From what I have seen in the movies and what I have heard about the experiences of others, I had a preoccupied mindset regarding what I was about to witness. I was sure about the intoxicating weather, the maniac traffic, the kaleidoscopic skyscrapers, the Dabangg Mumbai Police, the squalid Slums, the lifeline of Bombay: Local trains, the incredible Dhobi Ghats & the six-sigma certified Dabbawalas and so much more,</span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have been to airports in other cities in India, but the difference here, I noticed was the separate floor in the adjacent building to the airport for the arrival of cabs/taxies. On the way to the hotel, the balmy evening with the fresh breeze from the sea calmed my exciting nerves. As it was time to cross one more thing from the Bucket list: to experience the vastness of sea and tranquility of beaches. Next morning we ditched the pre-planned visit to Matheran (Hill station near Mumbai) and decided that for the next 2 days we are just going to explore Mumbai. Like every city, Mumbai will also give two contrasting tastes within one city i.e. the Northside (usually the messy) & the Southside (the Classy). The Bandra-Worli Sea link bridges this divide for Mumbai. </span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"><b>Day 1: We decided to explore the Northside i.e. Aksa Beach, Madh Island, Versova, Juhu Beach and finally the Bandstand. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I have always believed that when the destination is not off-beat than choose the timings when half the city is sleeping and for the matter of fact most of the Mumbaikars are night owls. The Western Ghats which are known for its captivating sunsets, but to me, serene mornings have their own beauty. We hop on to the Auto rickshaw and to my surprise, unlike Delhite's Autos, the Autos here actually run on meter and the drivers are keen to share their knowledge about the city. Most of the places here in Mumbai are famous not necessarily because they are worth visiting but they became popular because of the Bollywood. Same goes for the Aksa Beach which became the part of must-visit beaches after the song from the movie "God Tussi Great Ho". (</span><b style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Travelerâs Alert</b><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">) Most of the beaches here are not clean at all due to the amount of waste dumped daily in the sea. You might experience the foul smell of rotten dead fishes and a lot of trash kissing the shoreline along the waves. And, if you visit during the festive season you might be baffled to see your God's idols lying in bits and pieces on the shore. Despite all its wrongs, Mumbai and people here are full of exuberance and nothing could stop these kids from playing & standing tall against those strong splashing waves. </span></span><br />

During those 2 days, I tried Vada Pav at many places (from the street joints to Airport lounge) and realized that it was as simple as any other street foods yet very few people have mastered the art of making it right. The quickest, pocket-friendly and on-the-go-snack that you can enjoy anytime and anywhere.</span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">For the morning walk, we had the whole beach to ourselves and to feel the shifting sand beneath our feet as we stood there to gaze into the boundless sea. We spent some time collecting the Seashells of different shapes, size and colour. After that, we boarded the cheap-crowded-fishy smelling ferry as it was supposed to take only 10% of travel time as opposed to the road. The next in the things to do list was the Juhu Beach and the iconic Prithvi Theatre (again recommended by the friend). The restaurant & bookstore inside this 40 years old theatre makes it the go-to place for the esoteric crowd that can read/talk/watch the cinema for hours while enjoying the reasonably priced variety of food. (Alas!! we were too early for the Shows that run normally in the evenings but the food was great)</span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When I saw the weather forecast in the morning it was supposed to be mild rain showers in the afternoon but the heat waves led to the change in plans. We searched for the nearest cinema hall and luckily found the seats for the recently released Horror comedy "Stree". The eerie yet humorous plot throughout the movie and the bemusing end made sure that our afternoon was well spent. Now it was time to experience the north-south divide I talked about earlier. Even the experienced Auto rickshaw driver could not give (or might not want to give) the convincing answer regarding why the Autos are not allowed beyond the Bandra-Worli Sea link. Finally, we decided to go to the Bandstand- Mumbai's famous lover's point.</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Bandstand Promenade is a kilometre long walkway that ends at the Bandra Land's End, where Bandra Fort, a Garden, the Sea and the house of Superstar Shahrukh Khan (Mannat) all meet. One of the things I noticed was that surprisingly people were standing in a queue to get onto the bus. It was time for us to call it the day so we took the cab to the Hotel to keep this trip as offbeat only. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We were delighted to witness the engineering marvel Bandra-Worli sea link that weighs equivalent to that of 50,000 African Elephants. Our first stop was Haji Ali Dargah, an Indo-Islamic architecture connected to the mainland through the causeway which gets submerged during the high tides. This shrine draws people from all faiths and watching the city from the shire with the waves all around is usually an experience visitors tend to remember. (If you are interested in Qawwalis than try scheduling the visit in the evening). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Hardly any institutions have such an impressive success with the decentralized system than the Dabbawallahs of Mumbai. I got to know about them from the Ted Talk and since then I am a big fan of the accurate coding system for delivering the tiffin boxes using the same local transport. As a tribute to their service, a glittering statue stands tall at the Haji Ali chowk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was around 10:30, still, an hour before the show of blockbuster DDLJ would run for the umpteenth time in iconic Maratha Mandir. Therefore, we decided to take a roundabout and move to our next destination i.e. the grand CST railway station, the symbol of imperial architecture marvel included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With its sheer size and the amount of detailing, it is very hard to capture its beauty in one shot (Even more beautiful with the lighting effects in the night). </span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now it was time to witness the Gateway of India (Fact: It is known as the symbol of Triumph as well as the downfall of the British). To beat the afternoon heat and crowd, taking the ferry ride to the Island was the better option. I got a little sceptic regarding the way tickets for the ferry to Elephanta Cave were being sold by the hawkers (not through any Kiosk/ticket window). But when I enquired the policeman, he assured me you can buy the tickets from anyone, they all are authorized. It was approximately one hour ride to the Island (11 km from the mainland) and to enjoy the panoramic view from the top of the ferry one need to pay a premium charge of just Rs. 10/-. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Far from the noisy and crowded city, this was a totally different experience. Somewhere in the middle of the limitless sea which looks calm yet, you can feel the power stored beneath the surface. For the first time, I felt the magnitude of the Mumbai Harbour and the humongous ships (that can easily accommodate the population of my village). From the jetty to the foothill, you can take the toy-train ride of 10 minutes (Rs. 10/- for to & fro journey) & save your energy to climb the 120 steps to reach the cave.</span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "bookman old style", serif; font-size: 14pt;">During the night time, few places here find a new life & look more alive than ever. Be it the Marine drive that transforms into Queen's necklace, the Banda-Worli Sea link with its architectural beauty or the CST railway station as an antique gift from the history. Engrossed with all kinds of thoughts, the cab drove back to the hotel and thousands of city lights were reflecting off the window. Mumbai, the city full of stories gave us a wonderful memory to cherish throughout our lives. </span></div>

To the moments otherwise gone<br>
To feel the warmth of your lover<br>
While looking at them, all alone </p>
<p dir="ltr">Even the imperfect clicks<br>
Takes you to the perfect moments<br>
Just like the magic tricks <br>
Forever they capture the romance </p>
<p dir="ltr">With every flick a new emotion <br>
Tingles in the depth of our heart<br>
For others, tiny details might not matter <br>
But for you thoses are the most beautiful <u>part</u></p>

And now I don't know what else to say <br>
I don't know why you can't grasp<br>
That we no longer deal it the same way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Every time we talked about us<br>
We end up with more hate and swear<br>
You don't seem to understand <br>
The different scars, we both wear</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thousands of time I told you that you are worth more<br>
With a hope someday you'll believe it<br>
Be happy about the time spent together <br>
And proud with this decision, like the way I see it</p>
<p dir="ltr">You don't have to hold on to what's long gone <br>
Leave your past back, live your life and just move on </p>

And sandalwood paste on the broad forehead<br>
His eyes looks tired and sleepy <br>
Yet his mind is calm <br>
No desires, no affairs, no distraction <br>
Just breathing and chanting his psalm</p>
<p dir="ltr">No bewildering thoughts about the relationships <br>
No debt to pay and no rules to follow about how to live<br>
The lone wanderer sailing without a direction <br>
Can take decisions without a fear of rejection</p>
<p dir="ltr">Gave up the luxuries of life <br>
Only a single cloth to wrap his body <br>
Now the whole world is his home<br>
And he has found himself in an unsung melody</p>

<div dir="ltr">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After exploring almost every monument more than once (and some of them, more than, I can keep the count) for last one and half year in Delhi, a city where ancient and modern blend seamlessly together, now itâs time to move to a new city for next three months for my mandatory training of Central Secretariat service. Like always did lots of research over the internet about Hyderabad (the city of pearls and Nizams), already hooked by the legacy of magnificent palaces, mosques and tombs on the one side of the city to the other pole- Hi-Tech CityâCyberbadâ with malls, multiplexes, clubs, pubs and restaurants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier in my life, I had lived in Jaipur, Kolkata and Delhi, each of them has its own pros and cons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love Jaipur, mostly because it's the least crowded and clean city(after Chandigarh). A city, I can relate to the perfect virgin bride that typical Indian family search for with all the good qualities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the Kolkata to me is more or like the one night stand always compelling to stay a little more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the Delhi, well it's the capital of my life, I have been to other places but every time I come here, it's like a homecoming for me. I know it's the most polluted and crowded one of all, but this city is more than just an experience. Delhi is like the affair for the lifetime.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not much, I had heard about Hyderabad other than its famous biryanis (I hope, the first biryani I eat there, live up to its name). So for next 3 months, I'll be strolling in the streets, parks and the monuments, where, once upon a time Qutb shah and Nizams walked and I love places with undeniably admirable beauty and bewildered iconic past.</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hyderabad now the capital of newly built state Telangana but the vehicle license plates still referred to AP(Andhra Pradesh ) so not much changed there . For me a<span style="text-align: center;">lmost</span> everything was about to change for next 3 months, the food, the weather, the culture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, what I am going to miss the most is talking to her while looking into her eyes and watch her smiling face and holding hands and long walks.</div>
