My 4 Day Hyderabad Trip -- Part4

On day four, it was again 1 ish when we were ready to get out of the house.Went to a nice little restaurant named HUB, which was a branch of the Much Touted "Chutneys" group.The biriyani here was amazing.Me , V and SK had a field day trying out all the NV items in the menu, while Subbu ate just some Egg biriyani.I finally got to try the hyd speciality "Kubaani ka meetha".It was nice desert which tasted similar to our panjamrutham, minus the fruits and lots of sugar.It tasted pretty unique and good.As subbu wanted to see the Summit clash between federer and nadal(Auz open finals), he deserted us midway and went back home.After vascillating for some time about whom to join, I finally decided to join my roommates and visit the Charminar.
Charminar is just a glorified roundana on which a big tower has been built.Its not at all magnificient of awe inspiring.It is further more sad that it is not well maintained also.The first floor is nearly 50 feet off the ground and there are huge french arches which are open to the floor.but there is no safety net or not even a simple rope that is tied.It was aweful.Chariminar is right in the middle of the muslim dominated old Hyderabad.It stands right in the middle of a bustling market area within which one can purchase pretty much anything one needs.Although I wanted to buy somke pearl for my mom, I did not venture out for that as I had no experience in buying them and did not want to be taken for a ride.Even if i had some idea about pearls and their quality, I could bargain.As I was totally blank in this regard, gave it a miss.On V's insistence searched for a local cafe and had some good iranian Chai! I left those two who wanted to shop and reached home early and watched some great tennis for 1.5 hours. V and SK reached home @ around 6 and we left for the station and hopped onto our 7.15 Garib rath and came back.I had a nice experience of watching 3 movies back to back on my lappie as the train had comfy plugpoints. I had a dejavu of my college days when we used to watch one full movie on our way back to trichy from madurai.
