THINGS TO DO IN THE CITY OF HYDERABAD

Living in Hyderabad is all about being a Hyderabadi. I shall list out a few things that one can do to experience Hyderabad. In Hyderabad you live life king size and enjoying every simple pleasure of life. To answer the question how do you experience Hyderabad ??

I have been living in Hyderabad for over 15 Years, I find this city to be an ideal blend of the past, the present and a little pinch of the future. I guess it is only natural to fall in love with your home town.

Let me start with the thing most integral to Hyderabad, the Biryani. There is many a place in the city, but everyone has their own favorites. So here is my take on it, if you are some one who is not sure of how like your biryani then Hyderabad House is the place for you. If you are one for good spicy masala and flavour Paradise Hotel at Secunderabad is the place to go. If you are a person who loves his meat then Bawarchi at RTC crossroads is the one for you.

Now lets get to places for activity, if you are some one with need for speed Runway 9 on Medchal road is where you ought to be. It is a state of the art floodlit go-karting facility. If You want to "shoot em'up" then Paintball at Jalvihar on necklace is the place for you. Knocking pins down is your thing, Alligator in Secunderabad is the place to be.

So long before coffee shops and chains made a splash in India, Hyderabad had its very own version of CCD( cafe coffee day). Irani cafe as we call it, you find it at almost every corner or junction. The Irani Chai and Osmania biscuit are must try. Madina cafe Lucky cafe and Sarvee are the prominent ones.

As far as night life is concerned Hyderabad is not far behind cities such bangalore and Mumbai. Places such as Touch and F-Bar on road no 2 Banjara hills are swanky up town joints with great ambiance , crowd and music. Ahala in Taj on Banjara hills road no1 is place that definitely deserves mention for its amazing interiors and atmosphere.

Places that fall in to the second tier are joints like Bottles and chimneys near the old air port, Firangi Paani in Banjara Hills rd 1 & 10 Downing Street at Begumpet. If you just want to go with bunch of guys have drink take in a game in the process Club 8 in Begumpet and Outswingers in Secunderabad are the places to be.

If it has been a late night partying, and you want to get some grub. Ohri's in banjara hills and Pickles ( Basera) in Secunderabad are eateries that offer buffet's that are open late in to the night.

This is my take on things, so please feel free to share your opinions with me.

PSLV: INDIA LAUNCHES 10 SATELLITES

Today was a monumental day in the history of ISRO ( Indian Space Research Organization). They have successfully launched 10 satellites in one go. This is better than the previous record of 9 which was held by Russia, they done so just about a year ago.

The Polar satellite launch vehicle took off from Srihari Kota at around 9.30 am this morning. The was a little concern preceding the launch due to the development a slight low pressure in the bay of Bengal. But it was decided that the launch would go ahead.

Out of the 10 satellites put in space 2 were Indian and the remaining were for foreign clients.
Of the 2 satellites placed into orbit by India CARTOSAT 2-A, is a next generation remote sensing satellite which has ability to identify objects to the greatest detail like never before.

With this successful mission India has established itself as one of the big players in the field of space research. It has been a long journey from the early failures of the Rohini rocketin 1979 to development of completely indigenous launch vehicle capable of launching multiple satellites. I' looks certain that India's Chandrayaan mission is on course to be a resounding success.
