Below are a couple of photos when we visited Hyderabad recently with a group of boys. Most of the younger boys had never been on such a trip before. The first photo is with Abhishek (9) on the upper level of Charminar. His father died when he was little; his grandfather died in 2022. His mother and grandmother are living together, both widows and trying to manage the family. Abhishek has another older brother.
Charminar is an old monument built by a Muslim
ruler more than 400 years ago. It has become a major tourist spot in
Hyderabad, and a marketplace for tourist activity. There are literally
hundreds of shops in the surrounding area.
The 2nd photo is our group of boys, along with Brother Raju, Marthababu and a couple of college boys who also came with us. It was an edifying trip, bonding with the boys and having some good devotion times together.
