Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain

Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, is a great place.
It has some charisma inherent in its culture and in the way people live their life. The "Tehzeeb" of Lucknow and the famous words from Lucknow "Pehle Aap!" are known to everyone. In essence it reflects the gentle and suave ways of people who stay there.

A great joke goes around about “Pehle Aap” phenomenon in Lucknow:

“A Begum in Lucknow got pregnant and to every ones surprise, the kids were not borne for 4 years!!!! On consulting the doctor’s and on doing MRI scans it was found that there were twin ‘Nawab’ kids saying ‘Pehle aap’ to each other”.

Rightly informed by a friend from Lucknow @ “Confusing Musings”:

“Lucknow hum per fida, Hum Fida-ai-Lucknow
Kismein hai dum itna, Jo Humsey Chhudwai Lucknow”

Also

“You can take a person out of Lucknow,
but can't take Lucknow out of that person :)”

One want's it or not, the spirit of Lucknow lives in every person from Lucknow.

Jio merey Nawab...jio. Tumney to guzrey hue kal ki yaad dila di.

Aaj bhi woh borad yaad hai jo ki charbag per laga rehta tha - Muskariye ki Aap Lucknow mein Hain.

Aaj kal ek naya jumla chal raha hai...bheegiye ki aap Pune mein hain....6 din se lagatar barish horahi hai... :-(
