Lunch @ Taj Falaknuma Palace

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK

After some tiring business deals and events myself and my mom seriously wanted to rejuvenate ourselves. So, decided to have a small lunch at Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad. Yeah, I have heard that it is slightly expensive. But I thought of moving for a short break.


I wanted to book a table, so searched for the number via JustDial and got it. It would be some old male who picked the call and I enquired about the Lunch Buffet or A La Carte. Then he transferred the call to Restaurant. There was some lady ( :D ) who picked the call and got my name for the Reservation. She was very much cautious about accepting me for the Lunch with serious of questions like Are you a Honeymoon couple or do you have a kid less than 12 years old. I replied that it will take minimum 5 more years to come with a Kid. She laughed and booked my reservation which was supposed to be at 1:30 PM.


I went to few locations of sight seeing and was little bit delayed to be there by 10 minutes. I arrived at their check-point at 1:40 PM. The security personals came near to our car for checking and it was almost screwed by 5 people. One senior official came near to me and asked for the name. I recited my name with greater pauses like Kokula ::: Krishna :::: Hari. He got my name and saluted at us and let the gate open.


It was almost a mile with the side winding of water pipelines and electricity. There was a great reception from the people at the security stop. An electronic vehicle was made ready for us. The cab driver was asked to leave the place after dropping us. Was asked to move in the electronic vehicle and it dropped me at a spot which could be around 500 meters from the cab drop point. There was a guy with wireless who received me. I felt like entering into a Mafia Gang after the removal of my wireless, mobile and laptops.


Got into and was receipted at reception and was directed to move to the Adda restaurant where Indian cuisines were served. Almost by 2 PM we were into it. Ordered the regular food which I use to take with few ingredients of Taj Hotels. It was lovely. The Chicken and the Lamb was served very fine. Nothing highly spicy. Moreover the chicken and lamb were of highly selected ones. Which means they weren't stored in refrigerator or something of that sort. All the foods were prepared in pot as per my mom. After tasting all these, I wanted to try with the ice-creams. So got the Chocolate which was home-made. It was awesome.


Now the phase of billing, they took a long time to bring the bill. It was around 100 USD for 3 people. Manageable cost.


I loved all those buildings for some reason or the other. It was painted like my Petit Seminaire Higher Secondary School in Pondicherry and the arches were also really exhibiting the same method. Finally, to conclude it was highly inline for the value of money which I have paid across.

What Indian Colleges failed to teach Students? P1

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK
This topic is the need for the hour. I happened to visit many institutes within India and out of India. The only difference is that the Indian institutes pressurize only on the Theory and never touches the Practical or Life Sciences. The have a focus on the academic segment alone and never go for the life science, which is most important for leading a successful life. Even the schools impose few minutes in Value Education / Moral Sciences and leave them ignored. If I know the rocket science and I don't know how to wear a tie, that is an embarrassing moment. Not only this, but even there are many such instances when we may lose important information which needs for shaping our life in many occurrences. Even the institutes in India fail to teach how to wear an underwear (brief) and cover the private areas. Yes, even the beggar in India is aware about this, but the fashion (stupidity) which is never cared by parents and faculties make them to wear such. I used to have the chat in a re

Commitment is not just a Word, it is an Act

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK
In the present world, we see many people miss the conduct code by skipping the term "Commitment" assuming it as a word. In reality, it is an act. And this act needs loads of consistent behaviour, and it happens over some time. A strong commitment exhibits an executive leadership skills of an individual through their behavioural consistency. It took me years to understand the difference between Interest and Commitment. In nut-shell, commitment is a connection between our values, intentions and actions over some time. Though it is just a choice of adhering or not-adhering, commitment is just an internal process which one needs to follow. Adding, it is self-expression and not to be influenced or enforced by external agents. Talking to people about five years down the road is hard for them to get their head around, especially for young people who are accustomed to instant gratification. People want success now, and few are willing to be patient. Read more ...

Intelligent people with OCD are miserable

By Kokula Krishna Hari - KK

Intelligent people with OCD ( O bsessive- C ompulsive  D isorder ) lead a very strange life. If you think you are highly intelligent and have symptoms of OCD it will be a huge handicap throughout the entire course of life. If you don’t have such things but see someone with such symptoms, don’t ignore them. It may sound a bit counterintuitive, but be assured that the experience would be the best. No matter how intelligent the person is, they are still a human being and not a machine! It’s a well-known fact that nobody is perfect. We’re all good at certain things and not so great at others. The smartest kid of the class might not be academically stronger, and I am challenging the case vice versa. I have seen many such cases in my life, why not least, I am seeing myself every day in the mirror and selfies. And, that’s a natural way of balancing the equation. Research indicates that  OCD  sufferers often exhibit high creativity and imagination and above-average  intelligence .
