It’s that beautiful time of the year again. The first showers have drenched Vizag and the city is a kaleidoscope of colours. The cracked earth and tired soul have rejuvenated and look forward to a time of happiness and plenty. While the younger frolic in bright raincoats and umbrellas, the adults are out and about in favourite Rainy Day pursuits. Yo! Vizag unravels the spirit of a refreshed Vizag.
1. EVERYTHING IS BETTER WHEN DONE TOGETHER
The pitter-patter of raindrops always calls for a garma-garam cup of tea with hot, hot fries and long gossip sessions. Tantalizing aromas of home cooked snacks and freshly brewed ginger tea or filter coffee spice up conversations with loved ones. Gather as a family in the verandah or the balcony and cozy up at home.
2. RECONNECT AND CATCH-UP ON OLD TIMES
What better excuse, than to step out in the showers? Catch up with those whom you haven’t seen in a while. Give a call, recollect your favourite haunts and make plans as you go. Be it the beach or your old school or college, everything is relived afresh in the rain.
3. SINGING IN THE RAIN
For Vizagites, the season is all about letting your inner child out and giving into what you love. Croon with your significant other, go on a solo marathon, or chorus with your friends and family, there’s no better time than now. Dust the jukeboxes and amp the stereo as you drive by and enjoy the knowing smiles of passersby.
4. GRAB A CAMERA AND MAKE MEMORIES

Safety Against Coronavirus
Spreading thick and fast all over the globe, the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) has claimed about 4000 lives and infected over 100000 people in more than 100 countries. Here are the symptoms, precautions, and the common myths surrounding coronavirus as shared by the World Health Organization (WHO).
REALTY CHECK
The scenic coastal city of Visakhapatnam is slowly emerging as a preferred destination to live and work in for many. Whether it be the promise of the region becoming an executive capital or the hope that the Bhogapuram International Airport will be a milestone-marker, the real estate scenario is booming like never before. A range of projects are now seeing the light of day, each promising incremental value. One can choose from gated communities to residential villas or plots of land for investment. Commercial properties are on the rise too, with new companies trying to find a foothold in the region. With all these elements, the city is poised for remarkable prospects in the days to come. The Yo! team interacts with a few of the city’s top realtors, who talk about the market, their projects and share expert insights.
THE PELICAN BRIEF
On a chilly Sunday morning, Krishna Diwakar took a memorable trip to Teelinalapuram Bird Sanctuary. He shares insights from this visit organized by the Eastern Ghats Wildlife Society (EGWS).
DREAM CATCHERS
From seeing a dream, to striving to achieve it. As the world celebrates International Women’s Day in the month of March, we at Yo! take inspiration from some amazing women in the city. With each of them having a unique story behind their achievements, and diverse scale of operations, these 40 women prove that all one needs to do is dream the reality they want to achieve.
VIZAG'S VINTAGE VEHICLES

WISHLIST 2020
Marking the end of the teen-years, 2020 holds a lot of promise for all of us. Here’s all that the city wishes for this year.
TRAILBLAZING INTO TOMORROW
From spreading laughter to hip-hoppin’ in style, the city has always been a hub of talent. This month, we at Yo! introduce you to three clubs with unusual agendas. Not for them the been-there’s and the done that’s as they chart new paths and head to newer destinations. And for all those who still think that Vizag is a quiet city with limited options, these are amazing examples of the possibilities and opportunities we have now woken up to.
QUEBEC CALLING
Quebec city, the capital city of Canadian province Quebec, is a popular travel destination among tourists. Hema Kanchipati shares notes from her memorable trip to this largely French-speaking city.
