Life in Hyderabad

Hey girl,  If you are feeling lonely, shattered, sad and depressed because you lost your love, then you are just sabotaging your happiness. You don't have to go through that pain. If someone is hurting you, if someone is not happy with you, then you should let that person go. Don't cry for someone who doesn't love you. Don't cry for someone who doesn't need you. Don't cry for someone who is happy without you and who is okay without you. Don't think about that man and hurt yourself every day and every second of your life. Don't let him corrupt your thoughts and make you feel low and unloved.  Instead,  read a book,  pour down your feelings on paper,  go and do some shopping alone,  eat all the detectable food at your favourite restaurants alone,  watch a movie alone,  travel to distant places,  explore the world alone,  enjoy the tranquillity,  find your inner peace,  find yourself,  find your happiness,  find that los...

I have been thinking about this for a long time now. And i thought i should scribble this 🖤 Dear girls, Whom do you blame when you lose your partner? Do you call yourself a loser? Do you blame youself for not being beautiful? Do you blame your height? Do you blame your skintone? Do you blame yourself for being healthy? Do you blame yourself for being open minded? Do you blame your dressing style? Are you always trying to change yourself to impress someone? If you are doing it, then why do you think just your skin tone, looks, attitude makes someone love you? If you believe that just an outer appearance can keep someone in your life, then you are wrong my dear. Love has nothing to do with your appearance.  It is all about what you feel about your man, how you respect your partner,  how you care about them.  🖤 It's about understanding eachother. Being there for each other.  Spending time with each other.  Fighting for each other. Dreaming together. Sharing the s...

Watched "House of Secrets" documentary last night, i never heard, seen or read anything like that before and the very thought of imagining that brutal incident sent chills down my spine. I started wondering why educated people are still believing in superstitions in 21st century ? Faith gives us strength, it is good to have faith. But when that faith turns into delusion, that turns into a strong superstitious belief and it can bring lot of harm for those who believe it and to those who follow the ones who believe it.  One must know that nothing comes easy in the world, only our hardwork can make our life better. It is our choices, our decisions which effects our lives and decides our future, not the other way around. No matter what happens we need to believe in ourselves, believe in our hardwork, then our lives will change. But we shouldn't believe in short cuts. One should know where to draw the line between faith and delusion. Otherwise it turns into madness. Our life i...

As we are celebrating 8 months book Anniversary of my book Life in Hyderabad on 7th October, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my wonderful readers across the Globe for reading my book and accepting me as an Author. My passion towards writing grew since i was young. I always dreamed of becoming a published author, but dream was not enough to become what i was desired. So my quest for finding myself grew more with each dawn.  I always had an imagination of a little place for me in the world where no one can replace me. With each passing day i found that writing is one such place where i can be myself, where I can find true solace, where I'm free and happy. So i groomed myself, I wrote every day and explored new ways of writing styles. I observed people, their stories, their pain, their happiness. That observation skills helped me to build characters in my mind palace and I poured out the same on paper.  I have traveled afar with characters, books and stories th...

We speak when a girl gets raped in our country, then why don't we speak when millions of girls and women are getting raped everyday in another country? They are being sold as slaves and forced to become wives of beasts. There are many atrocities in the name of religion. Then why are we not speaking about it ?  Why are we busy in our own world ? Why do we keep quiet when someone's house is burning ? We are sleeping peacefully behind closed doors, but there are millions who became homeless and living in fear. We are eating three meals a day, but there are many who are running for their lives with empty stomach. Every land has it's history, it's culture, it's values and Art. Afghanistan people lost their existence in just one night. They lost their homes, they lost their people and they lost their identity. Once the residents of Afghanistan are going to become refugees in different countries now. Once a settled family has become a displaced family now. Once the great l...

Dear readers, I'm proud and emotional today writing this blog. My book has successfully completed 6 months today. 6 months !!! and it still feels like a dream. You know I pinch myself sometimes to be sure that it's all real, Hahaha.. 6 months might be just a number, but when I turn back and see, I have lots of memories in this journey. I see One and half years of hard work, uncountable working hours, lot of stress behind each day and sleepless nights as well. And some days i just waited, and that waiting period was so salient. Sometimes I was just surrounded by silence and tension. It wasn't easy to come this far. And it wasn't something I could do alone... I met so many amazing people in this book journey. All this wasn't possible alone. A decade ago i had a vision and dream of becoming published author some day. And i wrote everyday and walked towards my goal step by step without getting tired. And my dream became true and possible with the wonderful teams I worke...

Once upon a time in the City of Pearls lived three horses. They were thick friends, they always rode together, bathe together and ate together. Their master loved them so much that he couldn’t keep them apart. He named them as Gulmohar, Baadal and Toofan. Gulmohar was milky white and intelligent, it was taken to beauty competitions which happens in near by places, whilst Baadal was dark as night and used to lift heavy cargo for it’s master and Toofan was dark chocolate and comes first in any race and makes money to it’s master. One day while eating grass Baadal was jumping with happiness.  The other two asked why ? It replied, “ I can’t wait for the ‘Best Horse Competition’ our master conducts every year which is due three weeks from today and winner will be gifted a new colorful saddle. I know I’m going to be the winner because I’m very useful to the master and I’m the best as I transport his cargo everyday, I can’t wait to look beautiful in that colorful saddle, Yippeeee” said Ba...

Sometimes the freedom we have can be very deceptive. It is just our wants and needs which makes us believe that we have freedom, but the truth is most of us are still in someone's grip, in some agony, some cage suffering and getting abused everyday behind closed doors. So the comforts we have blind sides us from the fact that we are living in a cage. It is just our emotions which over power us making us believe that if we choose freedom we might lose our people and the comfortable life we have. So with that fear most of us never try to break the chains of fear which is holding us in darkness. We never try to question why are we treated badly ? We never question why are we not having freedom to do what we want ? We lose our freedom when we are harassed by our own people, when we don't have right to take any decisions. It is only because the love we have towards our people which makes us vulnerable. When we love someone or fear for someone beyond any limits, it becomes wrath at s...

Yes, India doesn't have enough ventilators and ICU beds for everyone. We are highly populated country and the resources we have are not enough for everyone. But we are trying as a nation to save people from virus. We never faced this kind of situation before so it is a tough task for everyone. Front liners are doing everything they can since one year. Corona has spread this far because of our negligence. Because we actually thought that we don't have threat from corona virus and resumed back to our normal lives. We followed all the protocols, yet we are attacked again by Covid -19 silently. Before we could do anything, the loss has happened. For any government it is highly impossible to contain virus in highly populated country like ours. So i want to remind everyone that this is not the time to blame any one of them. But it is the time to become little responsible and do whatever is in our hands. Help is on the way, but anything and everything will work when there is less cont...

When parents always warn their daughters not to walk on road at midnights, why the same parents don't tell their sons to stay indoors at night ? When parents want girls to dress neatly covering all the body parts, why the same parents don't teach their boys not to stare at any girl's body ? When parents  train their daughters to be good wives to their future husbands, then why can't the same parents teach their sons to be a good husbands to their future wives ? When mothers ask their daughters to be silent when their husbands raise their hand on them, why can't the same mother teach some sense to her son from the beginning and tell him never to raise hand on women, never to abuse his wife ? After seeing so many broken families around i have few questions to the entire world, Who the hell in the world gave power to a man to raise his hand freely on his woman ? Which school taught this to men? Or which university is offering a course to men about how to harass their w...

You all know I'm a bibliophile and bookworm. I fell in love with books when I was young as my mom and grandparents used to tell me bedtime stories. That's when I was fascinated with the stories and started finding more stories. Then I asked my mom where can I find more stories. She said books. First I began reading my next year's academic books in advance during most of my summer vacations. So that made me know all the things about the subjects before the teacher explains them to the class. That's how It all started, slowly I moved to novels and other books, and that one hobby and passion changed my life completely, and finally, I'm a published author now. So I was thinking about what to write today and I felt nothing would be better than writing about books. Reading has been my biggest passion for the past two decades. I have started reading every piece of paper which came my way. I read magazines, newspapers, and Various books. And the list of my favorite books is...

You guys know the journey of my book since last year. We have launched it last month and now post launch works are going on. And trust me it is not easy. This is when my strong teams pitch in to give their Best work. Yes, for Life in Hyderabad Book different teams are working in backend like publishing team, Booksclub Printing team, website team, Promotion team, Press, Amazon, Flipkart, Books club production and sales teams, And online delivery guys across the world who take my books to readers. I disturb my project manager Ishika even at night 12 am and 1am when there's an emergency about the book. And she responds with lot of patience and resolves my problem within seconds. And Cheif manager Akshath literally calms me down whenever I get panic about the work and the book. He always comes with the best possible solutions to the list of problems I shoot at him. I always feel happy that I found the right people for the book.  I didn't imagine that these many people will be broug...

So the next day began with a yummy breakfast. I told mom about the plan for the day. I actually don't have a habit of taking a guide whenever I visit any new place. I will just research about the place on my own and i mark the locations which i want to visit. Google and uber always helps me to understand the distance between locations. I find it more adventurous going to a new place without knowing anyone there, without any guide, exploring the city, knowing their culture and tradition from the city itself, talking to the local people . That kinda gives me a kick and I feel free and independent. So based upon my research we can actually divide Vizag city into two parts. I was staying in middle of the city near RK beach. If I stand and face towards RK beach on the left side (from last to first ) we have Bheemli beach , then thotlakonda Buddhist monastery, then rushikonda beach, kailasgiri, then zoo, then tenneti park, vuda park, Vishaka museum, aircraft museum, submarine museum. Air...

  In last week of January I went to Vizag. It is an amazing experience. This was our first trip after lockdown and I was checking everything again and again to be sure as mom was traveling with me. My friends from Vizag assured me that everything was safe over there and we can travel. And I didn't visit that place before but I always wanted to go there. So i made a list of places i want to visit using google. And I used uber to track the distance between all the locations. I booked A/C sleeper bus tickets on Red bus app. So next morning we did some Shopping and packed our luggage. We boarded our bus at our boarding point and started from Hyderabad at 7pm and reached Vizag on next day around 9:30am. Then we booked an uber and went to the hotel I booked at seethammadhara. But mom didn't liked that hotel so we canceled the booking and booked another room at Sea Rock hotel near RK beach.  This hotel was so good and the hotel staff received us well. We checked into our room and got...

  Since 5 years I have been trying to visit vizag, but never really went there. Finally after these many years I'm going to Vizag today with mom. We used to go for many tours few years ago. But due to our busy schedules we never got a chance to explore new places. Now we are going together and I can't express how much happy iam. I actually had an option to go to Delhi as one of my friend invited me. And other girl invited me to Pune, we have been friends since long but we haven't met since 3 years. So i thought to go there. We actually planned to do Pawna lake side Camping and visit Lonavala. And there was also other friend who invited me to Andaman. We even planned a cruise to Andaman. But suddenly i got confused. I have this wonderful people in my life who care about me and who love to spend time with me. But it was difficult to choose one place. And I didn't know where to go. I felt that I can't go there leaving mom here alone. So I wanted to go with mom. She can...

  After spending so many sleepless nights, battling between work and passion, sacrificing so many things, today I proudly announce that I have completed writing my book and it is ready to launch.  My whole life has been busy, running after books and doing long hour jobs. I had a very little time to take care of myself. I used even that time to create something, paved a way for myself into the world of writing. My idea behind writing a book is to let the world know about the thoughts hidden inside me. To introduce people to the world of my mind. The journey of my life has been a roller coaster ride, there were many ups and downs, there were sad and happy moments. But I have always been positive about life. I pushed myself to do something more everyday, to become a better person everyday. That stubbornness, that fire to do something has brought me here today to write about my beautiful journey. People always ask what a girl can do if we make her study? My answer will be, "A girl...

Some people in our society are still giving least priority to women. There is no world without women, but we have never been treated equally by our own people. There is a myth among people since centuries that women depend on someone or other always. First on fathers and brothers, then on Husbands, at last they depend on sons and daughters when they grew old. But i don't agree to that, there is a life for a woman before becoming a wife, before becoming a mother. In fact there's a world even after becoming wife and mother. There are many who became successful even after marriage, and even after becoming mothers. A woman can be independent only when she is given enough freedom and encouragement by the man in her life. We women transform ourselves into any role easily. Our parents decides everything for us right from our childhood. We change our world for some unknown person when we get married to him. We lose our body shape when we give birth to our children by going through so m...

For this Christmas I wanted to do something different, something meaningful. So I decided to buy accessories at small shops for the festival. Due to pandemic small businesses suffered a lot. For months nobody stepped out and their business was very dull. So i decided to buy the things from them instead of going to big malls. So there is a nearby place where we have a street shopping area which is spread across 2 to 3 kms. I have heard about it from friends but never visited. So I took a chance and went there to buy some things. I was beginning to feel good as i didn't step out from the house since months. It was like totally cut off with the outside world. It was just me and my work battling together behind the closed doors. So this shopping time gave me a chance to be among people once again. So i have started shopping from the first shop and explored every shop in that area until I'm tired. I actually went there to buy black metal accessories which I'm planning to wear fo...

  Girls are not allowed to study in economically poor families and in some  rural areas. They think that girls are born just to get married and is a source of extension for their families. Parents of girls believe that if a girl is  married at young age, then the dowry will be less and so the burden.  Girls are always considered as burden by their parents and they get least priority in everything they do. They are not allowed to go to school because their parents can't afford fees of three children. They can't eat their favourite food because they are girls. They are not allowed to talk loud in public because they are girls. In fact they are not allowed to do anything which their brothers do. At the age of playing with other children, most of the girls are sent away by their parents in the name of marriage.  When a girl is married at early age, her life changes completely forever. At the age of holding books, she becomes an expert in making Roti's for her extend...

Do you think this kid deserves to pick up waste instead of books? There are many rag pickers in our country who doesn’t know that schools exist, they don't know about nutritious food, they don't know about fancy clothes, they don't know what a home looks like. All they know is to pick up trash and wander near trash mountains. Their day starts with searching for trash and ends dragging it to their vendor. They pick up plastic bottles and bottle caps which they sell it for 5 to 10 rupees to buy their food. That's the most valuable possession they earn for a day.  Most of them live on streets and slums. These kids are abandoned by their family members, some ran away from their parents because they don't want to go to school and some are missing kids. Many of them live and die in that garbage. No one notices when they are born, and no one cries when they die due to hazardous waste. It is just the sound of that plastic bottles and their caps which makes constant noise in...
