Wow, although I would love to read an actual article that doesn’t include ‘because’ in every single point. Some of the points are rubbed wrong or what you call it an individual’s perspective. Nice try though!
I wanna goo homee noww !!! Thanks for bringing out the best in our city 🙂
its awesomee….incredible
Lucknow Rocks…….
Brilliant. That city skyline shot and concept was good. I didn’t notice it by myself before. But that Tunday Kebabi part felt incomplete. You should have added Dastarkhwan too. Though it is not famous as former but definitely they serve the unmatchable taste.
Rest is just brilliant
Kudos !!!!
