Lucknow is a city that has many stories and tales behind everything. From the tales of Tunday ke kebab to the pehle aap banter, everything has a perfect alchemy of royalty and charm to it.
Here is a list of few ingredients that perfectly describe the mass structure of every Lucknowite!

No matter where we go, we can never leave the charisma and the attitude of a typical Lucknavi nawab. Everything should be perfect or else we will make it perfect.

It’s not that we always travel in a bunch, it is just our way of speaking and addressing oneself. Our ‘Hum’ showcases our subtle yet exuberant outlook towards life. So never get confused while talking with a typical Lucknowite and be prepared for a lot of ‘HUM’.
3. 500 grams of Imambara and Clock Tower selfies

The evening lights at old Lucknow’s historical lane makes it a perfect selfie spot here. Our phone galleries are filled with selfies and pictures taken at the historical monuments of the city.

We adorn a permanent layer of attitude and privilege and when someone tries to question us, they get a very sharp ‘Ama yaar’ in return. So be cautious next time.
