A Charming Experience in Charminar City

Every field of activity is
enriched, even glamourised
sometimes, in a significant
manner by an extraordinary
genius, whose contribution and
impact are of a trailblazing and
trend-setting nature. Mostly they
are mavericks. May be, in some
cases, the pedigree would have
endowed pride and perceptions
and conferred certain advantages;
even here, their equipment and
expression go much beyond the
inheritance. What they create
and achieve in respect of art,
captive audiences, informed
appreciation, fame, prestige in
a social sense, attention and
publicity, even if not positive
always, are largely their own
personal accomplishments and
statements.
