Value of life!

Not an abnormal situation as we have almost got used to it. Yet when things happen just before your eyes and you are compelled to witness it, without any options,what should one do! Like any other day, I was taking my morning walk along the central avenue.People were busy with their daily chores and everything was as normal as any other given day. Suddenly there was a loud screeching sound and all heads turned towards the road ahead. A small girl,sorry a baby, shocked by the sound froze on the spot.It looked around amusingly at the big bus.There was no fear in the baby's eyes.It even tried to grab the bus's big tyre. Little did it bother about the tensed crowd.On looking around for it's parents we weren't shocked to find it's mother fast asleep on the footpath beside a tent. That too is nothing unusual! Thought I.

Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad!

My wife and myself usually spend around five/six months in Hyderabad.Our son, along with his family, has been staying there for quite some time.  We sometime taste the renowned Hyderabadi Biryani. To be very honest we often miss the Kolkata Biryani.  After many years we finally got the taste here too. O Kolkata we found your Biryani here at last!  Today is a Sunday and we were planning to have our lunch outside. Finally we ended up in a restaurant   near Kukatpally with a peculiar name. In fact the very name drew us towards it. Dum Maaro Dum was the name. We casually ordered Biryani knowing it to resemble Kolkata's taste.  We were simply bowled out to find the Biryani's taste as excellent as Kolkata. In fact better in some aspects both in quality and quantity.  At last.. at last.. at last The Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad! They guaranteed that their Hyderabadi Biryani too is good.  Yes we will find it out the next Sunday.
