The visit to hyderabad finally happened. Exactly two months after the previous planned visit. The hosts played their part to the 't'. The later letters missing for making the guests open their wallets and the tea experiment etc. Comparing the hospi to my Chennai experience speaks volumes in itself. All in all, a trip to remember after jhansi.
The tour to the shahi tombs was echoing with laughter more due to the usual antics. Some things never change. But the long list of the kings and their tombs was a little saddening.
Then was the golconda fort. The fort which kept the city of hyderabad safe from the enemy's attacks. The sound engineering at that place is simply awesome. The amount of rnd which would have gone through for making the royal family realize the impending danger was thought provoking. Am I doing atleast 1 percent justice to what I studied?
Then the Charminar. The place to buy all the bright things which I wasnt interested in.
Hyderabad is a city which has preserved its ancient culture as well as moving with the present giving competition to Bangalore in the IT industry. That amazes me. There is one part of the city where you see the tongas and another where thereis the hi tech city whose entrance is like an entrance to the mosque. Too good.
This was all the historic sight seeing we did there. Four days werent enough. And the day we all took off from office was mostly spent sleeping. Did quite a bit of shopping there. And ate a looottt.
Ending abruptly, it was a good trip.

Why is it so that I am most of the times unaffected by the outside world? I always write about what is affecting me at the moment of writing the blog and is never something like a national crisis or even something I just got influenced by. This is again about the friends. Does it always have to be the normal route of forgetting them when they find that right person? Is now the time to distance little by little? Maybe I wont understand it, hope to someday. It dint happen in the last two years. There is one set far off, and a little difficult to connect because of the distance. And the ones who are here, the signal is weaker than with the other states. Maybe time has come to move on.
