preetzzzzzzzzzzzzz

veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy beautiful.......................India is so nice..........can't wait to go there..

Very nice Preety, makes me want to visit Lucknow. You are multi talented aren't you?

Did you realize the picture frames are illusionary. In one view the photos appear as if raised off a white background, in another like they're in a white frame!!

Ae Sher-e-Lucknow Tujhe Mera Salam.

Thanks T, khobi and YM i loved showing off my city

T, the white frames are there coz i had to use them in my thesis naa it might take longer to load because of that im afraid didnt notice the illusion though i made them look raised from the frame

Preety

Beautiful pictures. Brings back wonderful memories.

Zaira these imambaras are the special features of Lucknow build by the nawabs you will not find imambaras like that anywhere else... there are around 10 such buildings in Lucknow itself....

Wow Preetz!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful pictures. Thanks a ton.
Mera intezaar karna. Main agli gaadi se aa rahi hoon!!!
Just have to see this place now. I love old historical sites.
U are right--the frames make loading a little slow. I did not get to see the last 3 pics as my browser gave up by then. Hoping when I post this reply it will load them.
More pics of this sort pleasseeeeeeeee.....

Do U still have the Isabella Thoburn College there?
My mom studied there.

the parivartan chowk. Mayavati ji ka creation this is against the law because this is surrounded from all the sides by historical monuments and a hot spot for accidents... ask me

Click to view attachment

thats one of my favourite monument sadly neglected by the ppl and government the Satkhanda- seven storey monument though only 4 were made before the nawab died... if this was completed it could have been one of the wonders of the world instead of the qutab minar. made on the same pattern as Qutab minar but on a larger scale

Thanks for the pics Pret!!!!
Why are those shoes so tiny?
And why has Mayavati created an ugly new structure in the midst of the old buildings?
U are lucky to come from a place with such a wonderful heritage and history.

lovely place Preety .
Will have to find time sometime to visit Lucknow some day now.

Sure Zz do come and inform me about your arrival i will make sure to take out sometime to be your guide oh vaise bhi meri shaadi main to sub aayenge hi naa

Priya the tiny shoes are the replica of the famous nawaabi shoe... Tourist buy these replicas as a souvenir
yes Mayavati did creat an ugly structure that destroys the beauty of the place its even illegal according to the by laws... but no one can do anything about it infact now this is being included in the tourist guide books imagine!!!!

Just saw yr pics now, Preetz ! The monuments do look grand through the photos......

I didnt know it is illegal to click the Vidhan Sabha !! Is it so for all govt bldgs in all states ?! I shd try clicking a few in Bombay the next time !

no Vivz its not illegal!!! you just need to take permission from the DM and as the Vidhan Sabha, GPO etc are historical monuments in my city they are just extra careful about them aise kisi ko permission nahi milta vaise Lko ka vidhan sabha to daily news main aata hai

as it was festive season i couldnt get the permission the DM was out of city to kya kare bechari photographer

City ke photographs dekh chuke. Issi City mein kahi Pragya naam ka ek ladki rehti hai. Uska photo keech kar upload karegi aap?

Zara hoshiyari se photo kheechna. Yeh Pragya ka cycle hamesha chalti rehti hai.
