I want to see the world that you saw,
I want to see the world that you saw.
Over gardens, rivers, ponds,
Lakes and seas,
I want to see the world that you saw.
Birds fly in the sky in the wide sky,
I want to see the world that you saw.
There are so many things to see in the world...
I want to see the world that you saw.
I want to see Singapore.
Anvi Raj, Class 5 I want to see Hong Kong,
I want to see what you want to see,
My Trip to Lucknow I want to see the world that you saw,
Eshanika Dutta, Class 5 The world that you saw.....
Woohoo! We were going to Lucknow. I pulled out my Disney-themed suitcase and
started packing up my essentials. It was December, and I checked the weather on my
phone. Brrr… it's freezing cold over there, so I had to pack a lot of winter outfits. Now,
the D’ Day had arrived and off we went to ‘The City of Nawabs!’
After a two and a half hour- long journey we landed at Lucknow with a bump. We
collected our luggage and the moment we got out of the airport I could feel the chill
down my spine. Thank God I kept my woolen scarf handy...Phew! We hired a taxi and
went to the hotel and since it was already late in the evening we did not venture out.
First thing in the morning, after having a sumptuous breakfast, we headed out to visit
the Bara Imambara. It is a huge ancient Mughal architectural complex constructed
during the rule of Asaf -ud-Daula comprising a mosque, courtyard, gateways,
stepwell and the most intriguing Bhul Bhulaiya! “
