Mehak, a young visitor from NASR school commenting about the fest said, that she hasn’t ever seen such a festival in the city before.  Divya and Aastha described the festival as amazing, particularly the street carnival experience.  The environment, look and feel was superb, they said.  The lovely experience we had Tandem bike was amazing.  Cycling together on single bike, talking riding was the most unusual experience. 
According to Deena Harpanahalli of Cykul, six hundred couple had taken tandem bike on rent in the last five days.  10 tandem cycles were made available for people to try out the new experience.
Suguna a mother of 12 years old child tried who pedaled a bicycle after almost 20 years described it as a unique cycling experience.  Riding a normal, single-rider bicycle is normal. But, a tandem bicycle added a new aspect.  Compared to a conventional bicycle, a tandem has double the pedaling power.  I spent good quality time with my son for thirty minutes riding it all over the festival she said. 
The festival was a venue for a  unique attempt to break The Guinness World Records' record for the largest online photo album of self-portrait photographs (selfies).  This record was set by Atasun Optik in Istanbul in Turkey in the year 2014.   They have set a record with 1,03,690 selfies. We are here to break this record said Abhishek Gupta of what’s Ur Skill from Kolkata.  We have set up a stall here.  During the last five days we have uploaded well over 5000 selfies. We will break 1,03,690 selfies by mid 2016, he informed.  For this we have been touring all over India. As part of this journey of  breaking record we have come to Hyderabad and put up a stall. We have got an excellent response. Our stall was the busiest stall in the entire festival he said.
