An informative post with an interesting description of Hyderabad which is more than four hundred years old. Golconda fort is a unique fort which has been there since around 9th century AD. It was called originally Golla Konda or the shepards hill. It was build by Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah in the year 1525. It was also famous for diamonds which we mined from the mines existing there. Some of the world famous diamonds have come from this place. It will take one full day if one would want to see the Golconda Fort in detail.

One more interesting feature of this fort is the acoustics which is unique to the fort if the messenger at the main gate to the fort claps if there was any sign of trouble the sound would reach the king who used to reside at the top of the fort so that he could give directions for his army to protect the fort. The fort used to get water from Osman sagar and Himayat Sagar. It also used to get drinking water from the Durgam Cheruvu also called the secret lake which is situated many miles away from the fort.

During the siege of the fort by the Mughal Aurangazeb the fort was surrounded for more than 50 days. The siege lasted for a long time because the people in the city inside the fort had all provisions and did not need to venture out. The fort was impregnable and Aurangazeb could not enter the fort. But one of the insiders in the army of Golconda himself betrayed the king and opened the doors for the enemy to come in and capture the king thus Golconda fell to the Mughals under the leadership of Aurangazeb.

Thanks for the introduction. I think is the first time I’ve ever heard mention of a modern Indian author. Most of the recommended writers were from way back.

Taking naps is a healthy habit because it reinvigorates the body and mind. I like to take naps especially in the afternoon when I get sleepy.

I agree with you. I also like to take naps. It is really useful for the health.

Yeah, taking a nap in the afternoon absolutely restore our energy. I always felt restless in the afternoon but after taking an hour of sleep, it refreshes my whole body.

Though sometimes, If I have to do important things, I don’t take a nap. I just ignore my sleepy body by concentrating on what I am doing. And it makes me more felt tired in the evening after a whole day of work without napping.

It is more economical to read online news than buy a newspaper. As you said, online news had overtaken the written news on newspapers.

It is important to read a lot of reviews/testimonials before going on a certain meal plan. Always read labels on food packages if they contain harmful ingredients.

Excuse me , but this picture is mine. It’s the book I read and took a picture it for my postings about my readings from it.

Oh I thought you are talking about how to increase body weight. So can you tell me whether I should go for these product as I am under weight? 😛 😛

To me oats and soy didn’t helped much. I wanted to see if it can help but so far not much luck. I would see other foods and check it out if that can help me. I think it depends on person to person in terms of health.

I am using apple cider vinegar to lose weight with cinnamon in it. Trying to stay off of sweet. U also should eat cucumber and watermelon high in water content they help flush ur system faster.

I have experienced shopping online before for some items. Yes, they were delivered on time and I paid them upon delivery, but i didn’t like that the items only lasted for 2 or 3 months as operational.
I have bought a fat trimmer and found it effective in melting the fats on my tummy. However, after about 3 months it doesn’t operate anymore.
But because i like its effectiveness in melting the fats in my tummy, i bought another one. But that too was only operational for just 3 months.
I also bought other items and all f them are not of good quality.
From then on, i stopped shopping online already.
Besides, i love shopping in the mall.

I am a huge fan of online shopping and mostly because there are many things i get online that is almost impossible to get here where i live at all or for a certain price.

Milk is good. We always had milk when I was growing up. We were always told it made you healthy and strong. I never thought about NOT drinking milk until I met my husband. I was astounded! You mean there are people in this world who can’t drink milk? Yeah. My husband and some of my kids have great difficulty with milk and/or milk products. It’s also good that there are “milk alternatives”.
