Anyone's Welcome

Nobody is homeless in Hyderabad. Once you step out, you find a common air of warm-heartedness with necessary kindness. A strange curious glance can surprise you but at the same time, makes you feel that someone’s out there eyeing you – whether you consider your body sacred and drape it to the bare minimum or behave astray. Whatever you are, you are taken good care of by rewarding you with good notice.

Oh! Not about our grand culture again. Chill! Luckily, we Hyderabadis have very less to talk about an amazing trail of bygone culture. We celebrate the “here and now” under the watchful past.

Echoes of the Ramadan prayers and Temple bells fill the air for half of the day. Along with the speeding vehicles intelligently crisscrossing through the traffic - ultimately leaving the slowmovers behind. Cleverness and coyness grabs our genes as soon as one realizes that smartness and sensibility are the lifeblood of Hyderabadis.

While the remaining day is entertained with resounding remixes and crispy cuisine – engaging anyone’s ears and fulfilling everyone’s tastes. Variety comes unasked in Hyderabad and Vivacity is what you always participate in – whether on a jammed road or at jammed-in hangouts.

While Shopping for anything, keep in mind that there’s a fair chance that you bump into things that are not what the place is famous for. Be ready for the surprises; otherwise, you will be overawed so much that you may have to instantly make Hyderabad your hometown.

As the spirit sets in by the evenings, everything transforms into an enjoyable experience. Whether the clasped-couples coloring the Roads or the Hyderabadi liveliness lifting up the spirit around.

All through the week, you have a range of fun-filled themes to celebrate your everyday life. Weekends are waked up by pubs and parties that rock well into the night – reminding us that amid the unfettered fun, there’s some smart-talk where wit overflows as much as alcohol. Human creativity often cuts through the mist of tobacco reaching dizzy heights.

But, how to make your neighbor or pal envious? Deck your home décor with antique furniture from Begum Bazaar or the latest from Goutier.

Or for that matter, get the latest and the hottest fashion as it hits the market from massive malls or sizzle with scintillating style from boutiques. Anywhere you go, a relaxed space is always there waiting to listen to the latest gossip – hang out in an Irani Café or settle down on the steps. Want more? Land up in a lounge and hop among groups; you’ll get to know the grandeur of human life in all its tinges and taints.

We celebrate our glorious past amid the splendid present - in the hope of a fantastic future.

Wonder where we Hyderabadis are moving towards? Closer to a notorious reputation of being a city that settles anyone into its mould and quickly unsettles everyone with fun on the run.
