Recently I was out on vacation for over 3 weeks. During this time, I was on a 3 day visit to Lucknow, UP. I was there to attend a marriage but quite unexpectedly, it became an absolute photo-tour. The realization is that Lucknow is a photographer's dream come true and a foodie's paradise. It's rich cultural heritage somehow remains unspoilt inspite of this place being the epicentre of political activity in UP.
The place where i thought, 3 days would be too much... they fell too short. I wish I had at least 2 more days to visit the Residency as well as La Martinere school building. Anyway, in the time that i had, i could make it to the Lucknow Zoo and the old town which includes Bara and Chhota Imambara and Chowk. The narrow gullys at the place were quite interesting. The old city is also heaven for people who enjoy food the way I do, especially non-veg food (which includes beef).

Hi Manas, like your blog and also like the bit about you being a biker, a photographer, and a sagittarian =). I'm kinda new to Bangalore and would love to meet some fun people. I'm a sagittarian too, and i love bikes (but haven't tried riding one since my last fall) and I was fond of photography at one time, but didn't pursue it. Just writing to you spontaneously, if you feel like chatting some time maybe we could meet online. If you reply to this comment we could get in touch maybe... if not, was refreshing reading your blog =)
