50km-60km daily for 22 days and some kms over the weekend. So, it should be around 1400km-1600km/month.

I wonder, you Hydrabadi guys always have meets, trips, movies and all that.
How do you guys manage to get time to do so much extra curricular activities?

Ashish, you will have to attend one of our meets to know how much enthu flows in our bloods! LOL!

Avi, Nice photos! waise mujhe call karte toh i would have followed the flying Viva in my zen doing 60 kmph

Have always seen Jal Vihar from outside but never entered fearing that the water might be from Hussain Sagar!

Now you got a new heart, you can stay behind me at 140kmph while i am cruising at 160kmph

Dont worry, as you can see the water is absolutely clean and clear, so venture out there this summer in full gusto!

Next day, we decided to have a sumptous lunch at Angeethi and followed by a visit to Lumbini Park for a boat ride to Lord Buddha's abode

Nice pics there Avi, Hyd has more place to explore now.During my 10 years those parks were not there. There was the boring Indira park, Golconda Fort, Birla Mandir and ofcourse nagarjuna Sagar a little far.

Cant believe necklace road and areas surrounding buddha statue has become so hitec now. I still remember the day when buddha status fell down into HussainSagar in early 90s and it took few years to bring it back.

Its simple dude, we have made our extra curricular as curricular and curricular as extra-curricular. That way there is no conflict between them.

Thank You ! I love it when someone praises Hyderabad !!!

akroy · 14th April 2009, 12:09

Rajesh,MC,
Whether Hyd develops/developed/not-developed, It would still have a special place in my heart. Being spent my formative years there, it will remain special.

I must also add bangalore too is a wonderful place to line in as well. bumps, humps, traffic are everywhere I guess.

Our next stop was to one of the best parks in Hyderabad. NTR Gardens has been designed like a Mini-Sentosa. There are quite a few similarities to that famous singapore theme park.

They got some pretty lighting equipment there and a unique sit-in-a-car-have-your-dinner restuarant ala. the movie Pulp Fiction where John Travolta and Uma Thurman have their dinner date.

On the whole, it's a nice place to spend a couple of hours in the evening.

MileCruncher · 15th April 2009, 09:50

This photoblog reminds me of Kashmir Ki Kali which had views/shots of lots of gardens in Srinagar

hillram · 15th April 2009, 10:00
