Muskuraiye, janaab, aap Lucknow mein hain.
There’s something about Lucknow that makes you smile instantly. As a person who spent 18 years of her life in the city, I am still not sure if it’s the food, the architecture, the people or tehzeeb. Maybe it’s the combination of all of these.
It’s tough to decide what’s that one thing about Lucknow that touches people’s hearts the most, so while we figure that out, let us look at the pictures of this gorgeous city and revel in its beauty, kyun?
