Life in Hyderabad

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...
