Write a piece about a typically “local” experience from where you come from as though it’s an entry in a travel guide.
This is a re run of old prompt. You keep on giving us old prompts, we will keep on posting old posts.
Think about the town where you currently live: its local customs, traditions, and hangouts, its slang. What would be the strangest thing about this place for a first-time visitor?
Presently We have started staying in a city
Which is a mix of tradition and modernity
Old Buddhist caves, Luxurious malls
All under one roof, old and new walls
I am amazed to see the way they do things
What a traditional way to squeeze out sugarcane juice
The bull so happily moving in circles, helping his master
to be able to churn the sugary stems to take out fresh syrup
This belt is famous for fruits, so different varieties
A green sweet fruit known as Jack fruit or Seeta fal
Lots of corn, eat boiled or roasted as you wish
Near highways is the place to relish, enjoy the lake
A city of monuments, a city of Mughal gates
Lakes, culture, ethics, religion, belief and fates
This is Aurangabad, Maharashtra in my frame
Let me explore the history before it is too late !
wow..I loved the way you described the city in such a simple yet meaningful verse….amazing pics that truly depict the life of people there 🙂

Oh my goodness! The caves are amazing, the market places and colors, contrasts are also so beautiful. I like when old and new are in the same place, it is definitely a ‘city of contrast.’
