From Kababs to people, Lucknow is a city which will never disappoint you in food and the respect you get from the people here. The moment you hear a person addressing himself with a “hum”, or calling you by ‘Aap’, you realise the city he comes from.
The only complain we Lucknowite ever had was the places to hangout (except eating), colleges for higher education and finally landing up with a job here in this city itself. Finally, after a long wait, we are seeing rapid development in the city! Here are 9 developments which will make all Lucknowites proud!
1. Lucknow Metro
