The main reason for our leg to Hyderabad was to look into my family heritage (Mum and Granddad) My mum spent part of her child hood here and my granddad (Qasim Razvi) was a very powerful man who was good friends with Osman Ali Khan(7th nizam). Well I had a romantic dream of this city, one that saw cleanliness, greenery and extreamly friendly people. This is how my mum had described her childhood.  We arrived on a very late train into Securabad Railway station...

We got to Aurungabad after a 13 hour overnight bus trip, I (Ellie) was the only female on the bus and was gawped at all night (great).

I had to push him off me and shout at him. Kam didnt realise what he was doing until after it happened. It really freaked me out! The bus journey was 7 and a half hours long, the landscape ch...

Before we left Pushkar we had a bit of an incident. Ellie was squeezing a wet one out and and I was just moping around or room. I could've sworn I saw something run past our balcony, but i thought it was a cat or something, so I didn't pay much attention.
