First of all, it is DSLR. Then again no one can tell if the pictures were taken with a cheap camera because all those pictures appear to be taen under low light conditions. To take pictures under low light one would generally need a tripod to use longer exposure times.
Just so you know, using "DLSR" does not automatically produce great pictures if one does not know how to take pitcures.

Your right. Oh Falak!



For an article such as this The pictures don't do it any justice.

Oh Falak!!

To sign off with :

Well, if Hyderabad had been on the itinerary of Barack Obama, he would have been awestruck!

These words seem so inappropriate.

You could have shown us the toilets in the servant quarters and said:

Barak Obama son of Kenyan, Hussein Obama (step son of Indonesian,Barry Sotero) would have been most at home squatting on his haunches in the Nizam's servants' Kuckoose.

Falaknuma was part of Kakatiya Dynasty during 11th Century.

Hello Readers.
I paid many visits to Falaknuma Palace between 2005-2009 as I was having a my old friend working in Taj Group. He spent about 25-30 years of his life in the Palace and he had a thorough levels of association (family friendship too) with the Nizams 3 generations who settled in Switzerland and Australia. What was revealed by Nizams descendents to him was that Palace on top of the hill in Hyderabad was very old dating back to 11th Century A.D. Prior to Nizams, it was under Kutubshahis of Golkonda (Bahamani Rulers). It was also told by Nizam grand daughters that Srikrishnadevaraya of Vijaynagar Kingdom spent about 12 days in the palace in 1529 A.D. and some of the gifts by Krishnadevaraya to Golkonda sultans were later taken away by Aurangazeb on his march to Golkonda from Aurangabad/Daulatabad. Aurangazeb annexed Golkonda fort under Moghul dominions and kept Nizam as the Ruler with jurisdiction of Telangana-North Kannada-Marathwada. During Nizams rule, the palace got renovated to this modern style. This Palace is of highly Historical Significance which was hidden by the ages. Particularly Bahamani sultans spent a lot of their time here after hunting in the surrounding forests in those days. Tata's should preserve this Palace properly.

umar farooq and sameen khan unfortunately are by products of what Nizams and others did to Indian women and people in general.... here comes the funny/sad part....instead of having their anger on these rulers ...people like umar are the ones who have become lawyers for their own tormentors...
