Hyderabad - What rings the bell?

When you hear the name "Hyderabad", what rings the bell?

Is it Hyderabad Biryani? Is it Charminar? Is it Golconda? Is it Hitec City?

No, Hyderabad ain't just these things.

Hyderabad is also about Irani Chai, Chote Samose, Osmania Biscuit at Irani Cafe, found at every nook and corner of the city.

Hyderabad has always been known for its diverse culture. The city of Hyderabad has always welcomed one and all with open hearts. Accepted each and every person with open minds.

Holi isin't limited to just a particular sect, holi is all about fun and frolic all the way with colors flying from each and every corner of the city. Friends get together and enjoy to the fullest and eagerly await for the next festival to come by.

Ramzan isin't the time, when only a particular sect of people fast, its all about how each and every person from different sects of this magical city come together, participate and encourge each other to fullfill this pious duty of theirs.

Come Ramzan, and everyone open heartedly welcomes the best delicacy of hyderabad "The Haleem" and Dahi Wada's at the stalls near the mosques and most of the food joints around the city.

Come Diwali and everyone is seen thronging the stalls and outlets selling firecrackers. Kids seen running around the stalls, firing their guns.

As I embark on a journey to explore the unexplored regions of the city. Shall always keep you posted about the latest happenings of the city. The best eatries around the city. The festive season of the city.

Do be a part of my journey as I try to capture those best moments on my camera and present them to you.
