High-derabad, my home.

This unique, torrid, frantic spot on the atlas isn’t all about IT,
pipe dreams o' the bit pipe o' the digital type or the subsequent hype, you know.

Hyderabad is dry, intoxicating air, Irani Chai, yummy Biryani,
'light le yaar' life, dirt cheap delicious burgers,
most profilic beer guzzlers in India, exploding food choice,
possibly the best movie theatres in the country, heady cosmopolitan culture,
ridiculous traffic, denizens desperate for nightly do’s, heavy swaying buses,
lotsa students, enigmatic time keepers, sizzling summers, dime-a-dozen net cafes,
real cool winters, ship shape shopping plazas,
snazzy bungalows, festering slums, soupy cinema,
sizzling chaat, slip shod buildings, holi, sankranti,
christmas, mohurrum, …and then IT.

Like all native city lovers, I believe - Hyderabad’s a place to retire, to work, to party and then some. What’s needed when you come down is attitude - yours, cause like we believe here:
the more the mayhem, the merrier.

For a postcard-sized piece of travel writing, 'High-derabad, my home' has a small feast of images and observations to offer. I also enjoyed the pun on the city's name.

Although I haven't managed to get to India yet, it's been on my 'must go to' list for a long time, and continues to be a favourite travel dream. I'll check out Hyderabad for sure!
Cheers!

thanks to you all, and Tim, Hyderabad may not disappoint you, if you have an open mind. Happy travels.
