Ramoji film city .....an unforgettable experience

Recently I went to Ramoji film city in Hyderabad.We started early in the morning.We reached there around ten.From the entrance gate they provided buses.In the bus a guide described in most cinematic way all that came along the road.It seemed like a dreamland.Whatever we require in a film or to lead a life everything is present there.There are big gardens, palaces,Schools,hills,fountains,rail stations,parks... you say it and they have it.I wondered how much was the investment made at a time to see it come true.Not only money but a cinematic vision turned a hilly barren land into a Tourist's paradise.Hats off to Ramoji Rao!Throughout the day we tried explored the place inch by inch.

When we finished the combing operation we realised still there are places to see.
In between dance programmes were arranged to showcase the spirit of Ramoji film City.A film making ceremony was also arranged.Two children were selected from the audience to play as character.They played there first amateur first filmi roles in front of the audience.How background noises are made that was also shown.At last that short "film" with background music was shown.
This journey to the Utopian filmidunia will remain in our mind for years to come.

Hyderabad...comming of age of a city

Now I am in the city of Nizams ....Hyderabad.Through the ages the city has gone through
several changes.In the 16th century quli qutub shah who was ruler of Golcunda founded the city
in the name of his wife hyder mahal.Then during the period of Aurangzeb the city was concurred by the mughals.After the weakening of mughals the local ruler nizam become powerful.Later on in british period also nizam,s rule continued.After the independence of india nizam wanted it to be either independent dominion or to be with pakistan.but local uprising and pressure of being landlocked by indian state on all sides eventually made hyderabad a part of India.India accused nizam of giving pak ambassador of London a huge amount of money. The case is still subjudice in England.In last 10 years hyderabad gradually rechristened as cyberabad.With all frontline it companies comming for bussiness and with the surge of young it professionals from all parts of the country transformed the the city into a truly cosmopolitan one.

Still 2nd!

Recently Air France flight AFR447 met with most unfortunate accident.Over the Atlantic it
faced severe turbulence and thunderstorm.This occurrence compelled us to look back to all those unfortunate air crashes over the years.What I feel strange that a servey carried suggests that
air travel is still the 2nd safest mode of transport! Guess what is the safest mode of transport...........its travel by ESCALATOR.

Colonial hangover on civil aviation in india

We all know that each and every aircraft has a unique registration marking on it.That marking consists of five letters or numerals.Seeing the registration marking we come to know in which country that aircraft is registered.Aircrafts registration making in england starts with "G",in USA it starts with "N", and in India it starts with "VT".You know why?Because this nomenclature was decided before independence.It was decided by apex body in world civil aviation ICAO.At that time India was a british colony.So that "VT " meant viceroy's territory.
Its amazing that after 60 years of independence Indian state has not taken any initiative to change it.
