FOREWORD
When it becomes a conundrum in life, to choose between two difficult or equally tempting choices, one is in a quandary! Life’s always gleefully throwing up such situations. One must pick and choose with utmost care, to avoid getting one’s fingers burnt. Sometimes one gets the right end of the stick too! Just when he’s congratulating himself and patting his own back, life may deal a vicious blow and he is left holding the wrong end, wondering what went wrong! At other times, the fine line between right and wrong is so blurred that one can’t make the correct choice. What happens then?
Read these delightful stories to find out….

This book has the story titled "The Baby-doll" which helped me get the "Writers' Award Certificate" from www.penfactor.com.
Do read this intriguing story!

Ramoji Rao City - Enchanting Escape from Routine Life!

 My Review of Ramoji Film City Published on Tripadvisor.com!

Reviewed November 13, 2017

Behind the reel!


A penny for your thoughts!


Posing with pensive Charlie!

Welcome to Ramoji Rao Film City!

Exotic birds' park:


Qaid mein hain panchchi! - How sad!     

When is Valentine's Day?   
                                Butterfly park

 

Intricately carved fountain

Colorful wall-paintings

All of us have been to this City before! How? Through our movies, of course! 

 

But seeing is believing, so off we went to see and experience this fairy- tale like, enchanting City! 

Though the experience is an expensive one at the steep cost of a thousand precious bucks per person, it's a totally 'paisa-vasool' trip.


What makes it priceless are the impeccably maintained roads, transport facilities inside the city, amenities and of course, the film sets, locales, shows and the tour guide's humorous narration of the City's highlights. 

       


We enjoyed our forays into the serial Ramayana's set, the filmy airport, complete with an aeroplane which one could board and occupy seats therein, the railway station with a train that runs on tyres, a Buddhist monastery set in a cave, a replica of the Pink City - Jaipur, a Japanese garden, etc.


The spoiler was the restaurant which could barely manage the tourists' lunch orders, besides being too expensive! 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we can't carry eatables inside the City we are forced to buy the expensive stuff there.
The tourists have a choice of free and paid rides at the amusement park there.


 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed the juggler's show, the dance show and the 'Making of Movies' show.

                    

A cap/hat/scarf, cotton, casual wear and goggles are a must to beat the scorching heat at this City.


All in all, a welcome respite from day-to-day reality! Escape into this wonderland at least once!

Date of experience: March 2017
