Lucknow travel diaries.
Love travelling? We have just the place for your next visit. Camouflageoflife recently got an opportunity to visit the most culturally vibrant city of India, “Lucknow”.

The hopes and dreams,the resentments and complaints are only a fraction of the emotions felt. True joy is to know that we felt them.
