Captain Cook


 A rare first day cover and stamps from the year 1980 - the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook's discovery of Australia!

Given to me by Mrs. Chella Albert ( Chella aachi) during the 1980s.

1980s Military Hotel at Hyderabad

 This place is most definitely my most enjoyable food experience in Hyderabad so far. The city is known for its extream hot spicy food in general. But this place is not so extream and anyone who can bear medium spicy food will relish the taste here. The ambience is good and the service was quick.

We tried the Chittimutyala mutton pulav as the main dish. It was flavorful, spicy and worth the try. Mutton ghee roast, pepper chicken and mutton chops were good starters. We shared a few other dishes that were good too.. My favorite was the Apricot delight dessert which i feel is a must try here.  Overall a very satisfying experience!
