చిన్నప్పటి నుండి నాకు తెలిసిన అతి పెద్ద జాతర/ఉత్సవం ఈ వీరమ్మ తల్లి తిరునాళ్ళు. మా ఊరు ఉయ్యూరు పేరు చెప్పగానే వెంటనే గుర్తుకు వచ్చేది కూడా ఇదే! 2013 లో నేను అక్కడే ఉన్నందుకు నా ఆనందం కి అవధులు లేకుండా పోయాయి…

జనం లో భయాలు ఉన్నంత కాలం ఆ దేవుడి మీద నమ్మకం చెక్కు చెదరకుండా అలాగే ఉంటుంది అనడానికి ఇలాంటి ఉత్సవాల కంటే నిదర్శనం ఇంకేముంటుంది??

Finally, watched MIDHUNAM movie! భరణి గారిని ఎంత అభినందించినా అది తక్కువే! ఇది అచ్చ తెలుగు సినిమాకి అసలైన నిర్వచనం! మిధునం సినిమా కాదు, ఒక గొప్ప అనుభూతి! బాలు, లక్ష్మి గార్ల నటన అనిర్వచనీయం! ఒక్క మాటలో చెప్పాలంటే, మిధునం అద్భుతః ! ఇలాంటి సినిమా ని తీయడానికి, చూడటానికి అదృష్టం ఉండాలి!

If you are craving for True American Style Food in Hyderabad, CHILI’s is the place to visit. Beautiful Ambiance is added with great variety of dishes. Drinks Menu is the best with a superb range of drinks…! Though the pricing is on the higher side, the quality/taste compensates it! “Honey Crunchy Chicken” is the best of the lot!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED… more photographs follows!

I’ve hardly used my 4 year old Panasonic Camera and this was one of those best shots that I’ve personally liked. We can go through immense pressures/tortures in our professional/personal lives and yet come out with flying colors: if we have great friends like these guys!

One of the bitter experiences that we’ve ever gone through was this stay @ Park Hyatt. It’s not that the hotel/resort wasn’t great, but due to its over-priced rooms/food/spa, the whole experience gets a beating. We were looking for ways to pass the time with not much to do at this super hyped resort!

Started with a great reception and a warm welcome with freshly cut coconuts. The smooth ride ends there. From there on, everything looks “not-worth” types with below par quality. You get a small portion of Biriyani [will not serve even 1 person] for 1000 bucks. Buffet Breakfast was good though!

We’ve even tried the SERENO SPA [Sea-Minerals-Therapautic-Massage or Samudra package] and were left with an OK expression after such an expensive service [around 12000 bucks]. Swimming pool was the saving grace and the pool-side bar was great.

Whether we were “under-qualified” or the hotel was “over rated/priced” is not yet analyzed, but can easily say a strict NO to this super costly stay!

One of the virgin beaches on the East Coast Road (ECR), Chennai. This was some 5 years back and shot with a small Canon 6 Mega Pixel camera. The beaches in Chennai were tidy & crowded. But, some private beaches on this ECR are beautiful and this was taken near Taj’s Fisherman Cove resort!

This is one restaurant in Hyderabad that can be easily recommended to anyone. Along with a great variety of food, drinks & deserts, the ambiance is simply amazing and the buffet is worth the hype. It’s too crowded in the week days as the location (Hi-Tech city) is surrounded with all the MNC companies.

Kangan is the Indian Restaurant @ The Westin, Hyderabad. The food is super delicious and we need a heavy wallet to fill our stomachs though. Apart from a great ambiance, we get to experience a live counter of Bangle Making and get a hand-made bangle for our loved ones!
