Travel Bug - Vizag

Vizag is a place I enjoy going - have fond memories of Inter varsity cricket, my cousin VV, the sea, the beach, an air of something very unique about it. So when there were matches going on I took off to watch them with my colleague  NP Singh. We were put up at Daspalla Hotel which was very comfortable, right in the middle of the town. We would hire a cab to the stadium to watch games and head back to the hotel.

We visited Waltair Club on two occasions - one hosted by Naresh and another by Prasad. Both evenings were brilliant at this club which has a nice heritage - it was established in 1883, stands in the middle of the town on a hillside, has ample space everywhere including grounds etc. On the second occassion we had the pleasure of the company of UR Radhakrshna, Balaji, MS Prasad. NP Singh. Vivek Jaisimha, Pavan and me joined from our side.

Mornings were devoted to long walks by the beach. Evenings had outings with NP and Pavan. One afternoon we visited the famous Raju gari dhaba at Rishikonda. All the GITAM College students were around. Vizag has these many sights along the beach.
