Recently I was in Moscow - the capital city and the most populous federal subject of Russia. The city is full of life, passion and enthusiasm, which make it one of the top tourist place in the world. I have been to other corners of the world and met interesting folks. But in moscow, it was totally different, people are shy, take time to open up to a stranger but very friendly.
If one says "Moscow" - images of Kremlin, Saint Basil's Cathedral, Red Square start appearing. Believe me once you are there around these wonders you will feel like heaven.

If you have travelling to Moscow, you must see the
World famous ”The Cathedral of St. Vasily the Blessed (St. Basil’s Cathedral)”,
standing in the Red Square. This nearly 450 years old architectural collection
of unmatched beauty and magnificence will surely take your breath away.
Another monument to see at the Kremlin Wall is a war memorial - Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier - dedicated
to the Soviet soldiers killed during the 2nd World War.
Designed
by the greatest architects of 19th Century D. I. Burdin and sculptor Nikolai Tomsky, it was unveiled to the
public on May 8, 1967. The Monument is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a laurel branch and a soldier's helmet
laid upon a banner which has a five-pointed star in a square field in front which
emanates the Eternal Flame from its centre. The flame illuminates
a bronze inscription "Your name is unknown, your deed is immortal". To the
left of the tomb is a granite wall which has an inscription: "1941 - To
Those Who Have Fallen For The Motherland - 1945".
Moscow State Historical Museum opened in 1894, tell the history of the Russia from the Paleolithic era to the present day. Each hall of the museum is designed to correspond to the era from which the exhibits are taken. The wide variety of the ancient cultures that developed on the territory of modern Russia is well represented. The Museum focus on the history of Russian Kings with a number of historical paintings, costumes, thrones and specially the silver death mask of Peter the Great.

One of the memory was meeting the Kazakh students who were on their college excursion (Red Square, Moscow). Once I told them my nationality, they became so friendly and started singing Hindi songs. One of them clicked a picture with me and asked for my autograph....whooooaahh....I felt like a celebrity hahaha. He even exchanged telephone number and email id with me. Finally they invited to visit their place, god willing which may happen in near future.
