“Paying a visit to an animal shelter and spending time with pets revitalises me during the summer”, expressed an engineer. The bright climate of the summer season is the one thing he looks forward to, as it lets him gladly indulge in his passion for photography. Speaking about his favourite gateway near Vizag, the respondent mentioned Vanjangi as his top pick any day.
