Our Christmas Celebration @ Ramoji Film City!

 

We visited Ramoji Film City after 25 years on a two-day holiday to enjoy the Christmas celebrations there. We checked into Sitara Luxury Hotel of Ramoji Film City on 24th December 2022 morning and checked out on 26th December, at noon. It was a very happy and wonderful vacation. So much to write about our stay, our happiness and our wonderment but I would not be able to do justice. Instead, I have decided to present a visual narration of our stay through photos and videos.

The titles of the videos are self-explanatory. I hope they will convey to you the grandeur of Ramoji Film City and our amazement and happiness.

As you might know, Ramoji Film City is an integrated film studio facility located in Hyderabad. It is spread over 1,666 acres, it is the largest film studio complex in the world and as such has been certified by the Guinness World Records. It was established by Telugu media tycoon Ramoji Rao in 1996.

It is also a thematic holiday destination and a popular tourism and recreation centre, containing natural and artificial attractions including an amusement park. Around 1.5 million tourists visit the place every year.

Celebrating Citizen Responsibility

 

Proud to be an Indian, proud to Vote and celebrate Democracy forever. I and my family never abstained from voting ever since we relocated to Hyderabad in 1981.

We have voted 7 times in Andhra Pradesh State Assembly Elections and 3 times in Telangana State Assembly Elections, in the years 1983, 1985, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009 (AP), and 2014, 2018 and 2023 (Telangana). That totals 10 State Assembly Elections!

And we have voted 10 times in the Parliament Lok Sabha Elections without a break, in the years 1984, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019.

Attached are photographs of us happily displaying that we have voted and are celebrating Election Day with sumptuous food!

As we always voted early in the morning, we had the whole day to enjoy and relax… many times we went out on long drives or a picnic. And this plan has become a happy tradition for us to celebrate Election Day.
