Man, Hyd was rocking…atleast when I visited it.
Ask, Sanjay , Moiz, Aniruddha Date( all my roommates)….we were hedonists there… with the sole aim of pleasure and pursuit of the same.
Places we visited:
1. Birla Mandir…ek baar jaao..baar baar jaane ki iccha hogi.
2. Golconda Fort….2 times..once for the Lights and Sounds show(in the evening)…and secondly for the complete fort on the immediately next day.It gives the complete history of how the twin cities(Hyd and Sec’bad) were formed…and how ppl lived in harmony.
3. Nizam’s Museum. Now, this dude was gr8, man…. ! He used a Rs.400 cr worth diamond paper-weight. The last Nizam bloke neva wore his clothes more than once and therefore, had world’s longest wardrobe of 240 feet in length. And, so mnay other relics…
4. Salarjung Museum. A must see. We couldn’t cover it fully. The main attraction was Rebecca’s statue. In this statue, there is this lady sculpted from marble. This babe’s statue has a cloth(veil) covering her. At the first sight anyone and everyone would feel that it is actually a veil. Later on, on going a bit closer one comes to know that it is indeed the virtuoso of the sculptor that the appearance like that is made. Many other parts of the museum…whewwwwwwwwwwww.!French part , German part..and I dunno which all part. Ivory was toooo good.
5. Zoological Park : This park is of almost one day visit(though we covered in few hours). Now, this has some of the finest species(especially birds in monsoon) all in natural habitat and about max 10-15ft. away from u. Best part is some lions and tigers and non-high jumpers kept without cages.There was a Safari too which we missed by 5-10 mins.
6. Lumbini Park.
7. ……….and so many other places… I dun recollect right now..Moiz , Sanjay, Anirudha cud add to this.
The best part of my hyd part was…Right since I went on 2nd oct…when Dusshera was there, the roads and places were lit and every thing looked so damn cool. Some of the places are usually lit like this in Diwali…whereas others were lit for Afro Asian games. The whole Hyd experience was damn cool.
Another dhinchak part was food in Hyd was cool. No complaints from anyone like about apna Bindra’s canteen in Pune.
As of now, I am on bench in Pune-CAPS for SBC (B2-1st flr near Reshma’s place).
Another part was that during Diwali, I and Sanjay did some shopping. Blazer for Sanjay(cos we were told that there is this rule in Hyd DC that on last Monday of every month, employees have to wear it…and rumours were there that some fine is ther.e. But, we barely saw anyone wearing it) , some pearls, some gold (of someone else,,as a part of diwali ritual) , Lifestyle was a crowded shopping mall. Something similar to Phoenix Mills’ Compound in Mumbai.
Arre haan, batane ka hi rah gaya …diwali mein thoda bahut trading (stocks) bhi kar liya….in hyd… since a friend is Asst.Vice President in Kotak securities in Sec’bad…In fact, he was instrumental in most of our shopping since we traveled using his car and he was a good guide indeed.
Well, all in all , we had a ball of a time.
I miss my roommates quite much. For 2 days when I woke up here in Pune, pehele wo log ka yaad aaata cos….missin them. Everything was quite perfect.
Moiz ka versatile,all-ecompassing kit ho…ya Aniruddha and Sanjay ka cool companionship . Everything fell in correct place. Accomodation was cool. Neighbours…(if they existed) never caused prbs. ;)
Jaane do, quite retro ho gaya mein.
