Go JP Go

Ok. Its not a sight from Hyderabad. But it is surely going to lead to a lot of new sights in Hyderabad in the future.
Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) and his Lok Satta Party which has promised New Politics for a New Generation has created history by winning the Kukatpally Assembly constituency in Secunderabad in this 2009 polls. The margin of victory of over 15000 votes should comes as a pleasant surprise to all the people of Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh who would love to have well educated and capable leaders ensuring good governance free of any caste, communal or corruption overtones. It is a tribute to the people of Kukatpally that a leader like JP could get elected. Sans drama, money, liquor or any negative influences, JP campaigned on a completely positive note promising a new governance which will ensure a good quality of living for all the citizens. With his eminent stature and past accomplishments, Dr Narayan brings in a change in the political arena where money and muscle power rules. Let us hope that this victory brings in more and more educated and qualified people into politics and put an end to the dadagiri and goondagiri that has become the hallmark of Indian politics.

Once again, Congratulations Dr Jayaprakash Narayan and Lok Satta Party. May this be the beginning of a new era in Andhra Pradesh.

Golkonda Fort

The Golkonda fort is a must see for everyone who loves a bit of history. It is one among the best forts in India. Built in the 1300s, it is quite well maintained. A visit to this monument transports you back in time. The Golkonda fort, with its well planned township, granaries, water supply system, advanced acoustic features in the architecture, darbar hall, mosques and prisons was an impregnable structure. Take the services of a guide to have a better experience. If you move about on your own, you are sure to miss places of historical importance and also will not be able to understand the significance of the different structures inside the fort. There is a light and sound show in the evenings (Two shows 1830hrs to 1930hrs and 1930hrs to 2030hrs in the winter and from 1900hrs in the summer). The show explains the history of the fort highlighting places of importance.

The climb upto the top of the fort takes atleast one and half hours. There are aroun 400 steps. Make sure to travel light. Try not to visit between 1100 hrs and 1600 hrs. The sun will bake you. Keep your caps and hats ready. And remember to have a torchlight with you if you are coming down from the fort late in the evening. The lighting inside the fort leaves much to be desired.

Those who have already visited the fort can give their suggestions so that other visitors can benefit.
