A 3'day (rather, i would say - 2'night) trip to Hyderabad.
Every time i visit Hyderabad, it was always a brand new experience for me and i mean it. It was a 3 day trip in March (Summer already gearing up) and Our mission was to have a close look at the night life, so our Day1 started @4pm. We (Gang of 6) started-off to "Park" which has a pub named "Kismet" located exactly opposite to Necklace road (MMTS station). We decided to have a small meal, so stopped at KFC which was located close to "Park". People who don't believe in "KFC run by deaf and dumb", Can visit this branch of KFC.It was my first visit to KFC and i felt privileged.
As soon as i entered Kismet, i already started getting the feel of a pub(usually shown in Movies with disco lights) at the entrance and on the dance floor,The barman playing with the bottles, bouncers roaming around. Not to forget it's Hyderabad, and 9 30 pm is too early for night life. To my surprise in a matter of 1 hr i saw kismet over-crowed. Music was extra-ordinary and the crowd was awesome, folks, who doesn't had intentions to dance also, will start jumping, and its not an exaggeration. For many, specially elders,who think its wrong thing to do- going to a pub - where people booze etc etc, i would say, a decent pub like Kismet with a trust worthy friends is heaven ( If you booze or not).I bet, The Music n people will elicit your energy levels(Great place to hang out for even non-boozers with a prerequisite that they shouldn't mind people drinking! ).
The roads of Hyderabad, what ever time it is, not deserted ,will find Police patrolling, vehicles on roads and you are not alone at all. You can still find food- Tiffins (Idly, dosa etc) or authentic biryani, what ever it is.
Day 2: As we all were sporting freaks, we started off to In-orbit mall for bowling. It was a wrong timing. Not to forget, A Sunday evening, to a mall, that too where you find software professionals as neighbors, is really a wrong thing. The crowd was horrible with kids all over the playing arena. To have a break from all this, we decided to go to the food court and try something new, my eyes stuck when i saw Cream-stone Ice-cream counter (Famous one in Hyderabad), i tried 3 different flavors and all of them were equally delicious and you don't feel it as a real ice-cream as he minces it so finely. I would strongly recommend it to all the ice-cream lovers, and of-course i loved it.
We had to choose Rush sports bar, where were expecting less crowd for bowling. Bowling is the best game when you think, you can involve all your friends equally in the game and I have to mention, I am disastrous when it comes to bowling, being am optimist, i would rather say, i am still in learning phase.
And now, It's time for go-karting! so we started-off to shamshabad airport for the same. The environs of go-karting there has no bounds when it comes to description, at least for a person like me, who doesn't like much crowd and noise. On a Sunday night or rather i would say Monday morning, Go-karting starts at 12 am. The track was really broader and we jumped in for a 9 lap race as soon as it was open. If you are on a race with a 6 people who are extra-ordinary drivers, i can guarantee, the money paid-off. Go-karting is something which should be done as a race, not as an individual . friends trying to over-take, trying to hit you and not let you come over them, the crazy U- turns( Last U-turn in this place was awesome), If you are stopped (because of some technical problems - like Engine down, fuel empty), and others come hit you, making your life more miserable. At that time, you think, this is Life :-).
It was the Day 3, and One of my friend wanted to check out the actual shopping in Hyderabad but because of the Terrorist attack and alert, we dropped the idea of going to Charminar, and ended up to Koti. For banglorians koti looks like Jayanagar 4th block. though it was Monday, it was very crowded and there were announcements everywhere to beware of strangers and Unclaimed bags etc (because of the attacks which hit hyd a week ago), and then i remembered my dad's words of not to roam in crowded places, so got out of that place in less than an hour ( I think its a record for 2 gals, getting out of a shopping area in less than an hour, and we did it).
Its time for Imax - the big screen, Must visit. The hall was really big ,which i have ever seen, at least when it comes to watching a movie and of-course the big screen too. we watched a movie named "jack the gaint slayer" In 3D. More than the movie, we were excited about the Screen, which makes it clear that I was First timer to visit Imax too.
After the movie, we were left out with almost 2 n half hrs for our Bus and we decided to go to Eat street and it was real treat to eyes because of the view from there, you can see the total of necklace road with lights along with the still water (the tank bund).
The Astrologers: You find plenty of astrologers with parrots on the necklace road. These people are the cheapest among fortune tellers. I wonder how these people tell the fortune based on one card picked up from a pack of less than 20 cards. I think they just observe the other's instincts, have some knowledge of face reading, which will help them in making people believe them, no offenses anyway. If you really want some fun, you have to definitely go for it. They will really boost some of your qualities and you will enjoy the way they narrate it.
When we booked our return tickets , we were happy that we booked "paradise" as our boarding point,more than the Place of reach, It was dinner which made us think it as a better stop to the trip.
Paradise biryani is one of the most famous biryani hub.Paradise is the place named after this famous Restaurant which is located in secenderabad. We had total of three visits to Paradise in three days and two times to this main branch of Paradise. We had Chilli Fish -starter, Paradise special biryani(both chicken and lamb), Hyderabadi biryani, Egg biryani, dessert "double ka meeta", last but not the least "Pan" which you get downstairs in the same building and everything tasted so very delicious, A groovy end to the out-standing trip.
