Question 1: What is the best place in vizag to see?

Answer: In my opinion some of the best places in vizag are Dolphin nose, Kalasigiri, Ramakrishna Beach, Museum near VUDA park, Aquarium near the RK Beach, Arku Valley (100 kms away from vizag), Simhachalam and the list goes on. AP tourism office is located near the RTC Complex (3 km from Railway station) and you can book the ticket for city side seeing here. You can even find one office even in the Railway station as well and you can book ticket here as well. All the best.

Question 2: Why we tend to make mistakes so many times?

Answer: We repeat the same mistakes again and again because we do not take a lesson from them.It is crime.We are wasting our time repeating these.The first time it is an error,the next it is a mistake and the third time it becomes a crime. A person should ponder over the results.The failures should be taken seriously.Life is not a video game that you can restart it.Mistakes are being made by all but the wise ones take the signal and proceed to make newer ones.

However, your progress up the levels will then be based on the total points in your new top three categories.
