"Luck and Hyderabad."
Lipthima and Shashi, February 2011.
Lipthima and Shashi, met each other in Hyderabad, by sheer luck. Here's the kicker - neither of them are from India.
So a bit of Hyderabad - in the form of an Auto and the omnipresent Buddha at Tank Bund with a little bit of luck for me, an ephemeral moment captured forever in the frame.

Golconda is a historic fortress and ruined city located in the western outskirts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
The origins of the Golconda fort can be traced back to the 11th century. It was originally a small mud fort built by Pratāparudra of the Kakatiya Empire.
The fort was later developed into a fortified citadel in 1518 by Sultan Quli of the Qutb Shahi Empire and the city was declared the capital of the Golconda Sultanate.
The Golconda fort used to have a vault where the famous Koh-i-Noor and Hope diamonds were once stored along with other diamonds.
Didn't get a chance to ride the train since the stay in Hyderabad was too short for such shenanigans but sure managed to get a picture.
