The saving grace in Hyderabad for Selective Amnesia.
But third time lucky. Now, the Qutb Shahi tombs aren’t what you might expect. They are a number of obscene shaped classic Muslim structures, which hold the mortal remains of the members of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. And what brilliant tombs they were. Fantastic. Seriously. From the bottom of my heart I can say that the dead hold more respect that those alive. Especially the remains of the dead.

I didn’t even remember what you’d said.. actually.

What’s obscene about them? And when it comes from a photographer, it is surprising.
