ad to see how unkempt everything was. There seems to be no one taking care of the actual tombs, and people write all over the walls. Afterwards we went to lunch at 4 Seasons, a really nice restaurant. We wanted to go to Golkonda Fort, but apparently there was a Hindu Festival going on there so Ameenah didn’t want us to go. We went back to her house and rested for awhile, then went to an awards ceremony for the Nashta School. The Nashta School (Breakfast School) is a school established for child laborers to attend; they go in the morning before they have to go to work, hence the name. It was really endearing to see all the children there, they went absolutely insane when they saw us taking pictures of them, and were vying for our attention the entire time. So cute!! After the awards ceremony we went to Syed Aneesuddin’s home for dinner. He is the CEO of Sahayata Trust here in Hyderabad. The food was amazing, and his family was so nice :( It was a really busy day off, but I’m glad we got to fit so much in!
