Hyderabad : Moving towards Metropolitan culture!!!

After having the bad experience with the city initially, I start to look up for the positive things because I always believed that there is always something good associated with the bad.

To start with, Hyderabad is quite a safe place in respect to other metro cities like Delhi. Corruption is universal in India, But here at least food items and other daily routine stuff can be expected unadulterated. In Delhi and the surrounding area one can't be sure of that.

Next good thing I found here is gardens. One can call it a 'City of Gardens'. In every 2 kilometers radius there is a garden and that too well maintained. One can start its day with soothing greenery and a nice peaceful jog. Recently I have been to Vengal Rao park in Banjara Hills and saw the lotus buds in the pond. I hadn't seen so many lotus in my life. They were so beautiful.

Hyderabad had been maintaining its old heritage with the latest upcoming metropolitan culture. But now it seems difficult to maintain. Meanwhile city seems to be on construction spree. On each and every major road, there is some makeover going on. Like broadening of roads or flyover construction or metro work is going on. So many trees have been sacrificed in the process of development. This is spoiling the beauty of the city and environment.

I'll definitely update few other good things next time but meanwhile browse through the list of famous gardens in the city......

  • Necklace Road -
    Its not a park but a famous hangout spot of the city.One can call it a Chaupati of Hyderabad. If you are visiting Hyderabad, you must see this place. Eat Street and Water Front restaurants are the best places around to sit,eat and relax.
  • Indira Park -
    This is also located near Tank Band. Here one can boat also.
  • Jalavihar Family Water Park -
    Another park near Necklace Road.
  • NTR(Nandamoori Taraka Ramarao) Gardens -
    Its near Necklace Road. Here are few games for kids and adults.
  • Public Gardens -
    This was the old zoo and now is a beautiful place for both children and adults.
  • Sanjeeviah Park.
  • Krishna Kanth Park.
  • Lotus Pond (Jubilee Hills).
  • Botanical Garden.
  • Nehru Zoological Park.
  • KBR National Park.
  • Lumbhini Park -
    This is famous for its laser shows in the evening. This show starts with musical fountain presentation and ends with the laser show telling the history of Hyderabad and its famous historical monuments.
  • Chilkur Wildlife Park.
  • Mahaveer Vanasthali Wildlife park.
  • Chacha Nehuru Park (Masab Tank).
  • Jalagam Vengal Rao Park (JVR Park, Banjara Hills).

    The wild life parks, botanical garden and zoo have several educational programs including lectures with live snakes.

My top 15 K-dramas list

It has been more than a year since I got hooked on Korean dramas. I like the happy ending (mostly) and stories are finished in 16-20 episode...
