Saturday Story: Control Your Anger
There once was a little boy who had a very bad temper. His father decided to hand him a bag of nails and said that every time the boy lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail into the fence.
On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into that fence.
The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks, and the number of nails he was hammering into the fence slowly decreased.
He discovered it was easier to control his temper than to hammer those nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father the news and the father suggested that the boy should now pull out a nail every day he kept his temper under control.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
“you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”
Moral of the story:
Control your anger, and don’t say things to people in the heat of the moment, that you may later regret. Some things in life, you are unable to take back.

Mr. Fierce & Miss Briony drowned in nature..
Yellowie: where did you meet him ??
Fierce and I met on a plane. I was traveling from Kualalumpur, Malaysia to London, England for a tour. He was travelling from NY, USA to New Delhi via London. He wasn’t supposed to be on my flight, but was set to fly one day earlier but since he missed his flight, he had to take the next flight, which happened to be mine.
Our seats were in different aisles. I decided to ask a lady car to switch seats with me. In so doing, she may have altered someone’s life forever.😉
We sat next to each other and the rest is history. I was bit tensed about my trip in London as I don’t have any planned Itinerary with metro.
Upon landing in London, Fierce was supposed to go on to New Delhi and I was supposed to go to London city. But we both decided to ditch our plans and took another flight to Paris. We traveled together and we have been together ever since..

Discovering Telangana: Andalamma old Temple Peddapalli
Today I’m gonna post about that place which is least explored. And is not even in Telangana Heritage list of monuments. While we were on a road trip to Ramagundam we thought of visiting Hanuman temple but we were lost. After asking the locals for addresses we accidentally discovered this place.
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization. -Frank Lloyd Wright
Andalamma old temple, a late medieval period temple is located in Dharmabad village of Peddapalli district. It is located 39 KM towards East from Karimnagar.
Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique, poetic, products of the heart. -Arthur Erickson
It seems to be the temple and mandapa was constructed during the Qutub Shahi period when Vaishnavism was spreading in the Telangana region. There are no Idols in the temple. It was not at all maintained/worshipped since ages.
It is secluded and is almost deserted.
This temple’s architecture is so unique and beautiful. I hope Archaeological survey of India (ASI) should take over this place and develop it into a tourist destination.
This is one of the best get-aways for all those Karimnagarites. If you are looking for any couple shoot kind of a thing or if you are an architecture lover. Then you can visit this place…
That’s me..
Gateway…
Nearby places to visit are:
1. Buddhist stupa
2. Ramagir fort (Built during Kakatiya regime)
3. Siva temple (Temple built of roughly dressed stone), Peddapalli
4. Siva Trikuta temple, peddapalli
5.Sri Vasavi Andal Ranganatha Swamy Temple
P.S: You can find this place on Google maps
Sunday Sunset in Palamoor
As a passionate traveler, I love to explore many sunsets across the world and capture those Sunsets, as they always evoke good memories. But I never imagined that viewing sunset from Devungutta hill, Mahubnagar will be this magical. I indulged myself into this irradiating surrounding. Almost as if the sky has wrapped itself around the world, like a comforting blanket. Nothing could replicate this feeling.
- Every sunset, puncturing feelings I’ve never felt before. Feelings and sights that put even the most beautiful sunsets to shame.
