Hyderabad Hiccup

Have you had enough of comedians? Yeah, us too. So in this podcast we speak with Yunus Lasania, Journalist, Heritage Walk Host and fellow history buff! We take the long view his journey: how he got inducted into the world of Hyderabad's rich history with a piece he did the last Nizam of Hyderabad, to his heritage walks, Instagram pages on hyderabad history (@thehyderabadhistoryproject), and what it is to not forget the rich history of the city we live in.
