WELCOME TO THE PLANET EARTH
How the time flies! It looks like Jyothi and Praveen were married just yesterday! I visited Upparapally village (near Warangal) to attend their simple but memorable marriage. Personally, I do not like attending any function/celebration. I consider the very concept of function stupid. Attending functions is the most efficient way of wasting the precious time. […]
