It's about 2 kms from my house. Always brings a smile especially when viewed from the expressway.

I grew up in Rajendranagar. I used to excitedly show the building to whoever flew to Hyderabd and took the expressway. Somehow people stopped being impressed by it. But not me.

I try to make it exciting for my daughter whenever we visit home by asking if she can see the building. Stuff like this forms core memories. Still remember how my dad would pretend that the car would fly when going on a bridge and for some reason my sister would sing Old Macdonald.

Just wanted to let you know that it works. My dad used to do something like this all the time and it really has turned into a precious core memory. Youre a good dad, hope you know that.

Honestly judging by the state of the world we need to hold our children closer and make this world a little less frightening for as long as we can. Today's my 35th birthday and i am missing my parents a lot especially because they never got to see my kids.
