  1. Very interesting to read Hemanth!To go to an unknown land and then fend for yourself is not easy but you made it. Tad Mahal was hilarious! The pics are superb and the flow of writing was perfect! Felt as if one is travelling along with you! Waiting for the next one that you are promising.Enjoyed it!
