She was finally Home. The only place she eternally belonged - Hyderabad. She was a true Hyderabadi in every sense of the word. She was born and brought up there and she loved the place like no other. She'd treaded those roads ever since she was a little girl and could trace her footprints all over the city. Hyderabad had nurtured her dreams, given her wings to fly and made her the person she is. Her parents, friends, relatives and most importantly 25 years of cherished memories is what it meant to her. She truly identified with its rustic charm, its royal grandeur, its incredible energy and its blend of conventional and contemporary.  


When she left this place to the US almost 3 years ago, there was this 4 line anthem she carried in her heart. It went like this...

Pairoan se meri zameen cheen kar !! "

She built her love-nest with Ryan with great love and care.
