We got three tickets and followed our tour guide into the labyrinth of Bhul

Bhulaiya! The tour guide said that the king and the queen played hide & seek in

these labyrinths…seriously! Finally, we explored all nooks and corners for the three
different divisions of the Bara Imambara. Then, it was time to explore some

Lucknowi cuisines- Galawati Kebab, Biryani and the famous chaats of Lucknow! I

was famished and we all gorged into the yummylicious street food and satisfied
our gastronomic cravings.

For the next 2 days, we saw some iconic places and truly felt the Nabawi lifestyle.
We travelled by auto rickshaws just to get the thrill of the chilly wind piercing our

skin and got chatty with the driver who gave us some interesting tit-bits of the city.

The trip would have been incomplete without some shopping. The Hazrat Gunj

market is lined with shops exhibiting the Chikankari work. I nagged my parents to

buy me some super classy & gorgeous Kurta palazzo sets. I got some souvenirs for
my friends to present as mementos and with a mind full of memories we headed

back home…Sweet Home!

Overall Lucknow is an amazing place to visit! If not for anything else then surely

for the Galawati Kebabs!
