Hyderabad/Cyberabad

Well here I am blogging from the Hi-tech City in Hyderabad. In some addresses, I noticed the name Cyberabad. What a weird name! What is visible is the huge skyline with tall buildings be it apartments or business complexes or just plain houses. Everything I saw until now is big. Hyderabad has impressed me with its grandeur. The Banjara Hills road was a visual pleasure. But one thing is there, this city is covered with small hills and huge boulders everywhere. The houses or rather the villas are stunning. These are not just the run of the mill kinda buildings but each one was unique. The hillocks provided for better architecture, it was blending into the environment. The posh area I guess.

The other thing special today was the rain. Its a mild drizzly weather here today. Thank god for saving me from getting roasted. The humidity factor is low, so when the sun is high, somebody or something is definitely getting cooked. Don't mind the cliches. The business houses here are kinda similar to other cities' IT parks. The place where I have been accommodated is a huge residential complex. A mini city. Its a new place, so I gotta put on my diplomatic mask because everyone is expecting me to last a few months atleast here. Lets see.

Apart from the usual things you'd expect, Hyderabad is quite silent for a bustling city. It may be the middle of the day, but still there isn't enough crowd on the street as in other metros such as Chennai or Kolkata. Anyway a city is a city. It is much cleaner than those mentioned before. Lets see what Cyberabad has in store. BTW the story of two idiots coming up in the next blog. Until the next time. Bye.
