Hi…I am Vaibhav Tiwari, people love to call me VT or Vicky. Born and brought up in the city of Nawabs, Lucknow but I like the old name of Lucknow i.e. Awadh. I love to travel, exploring new places, and meeting new people and not to forget tasting mouth-watering local cuisines which you just can’t miss.
Although, not all get the chance to live their dream or passion, so it happened with me too. Being the guy from 80s, where everybody is pushed to studies to become Engineer, Doctor, and most important anyhow crack the govt. exam and get the job, then “Life set hai boss”.
Nice and researched work. Thanks for information.
