Hyderabad was spun into a city with
the yarn of love. The tale runs in the land of fancy but is probably true. Its about
a young Muslim prince and his love for a nubile Hindu girl about a relationship
that develops in spite of caste, class and religious divides. About a town that grew into
a city called Bhaganagar (named after the girl called Bhagamati, or the lucky
one). The prince became King and shifted his capital to the town of his beloved (of
course, there are more prosaic reasons but we wont get into that!).
Its evident that this is a city thats been loved and cared for. The wide roads
and public parks in the garrison town of Secunderabad, the leisurely pace of Hyderabadi
people who still have the time and the gentility to offer adaab and to cook up a slow
simmering storm in flavourful cauldrons do this special city real proud.
The twin cities of Hyderabad and
Secunderabad are one of the major centres of Information Technology development, so much
so that Microsoft has one of its two overseas offices here. A delightfully elegant
disposition, a miracle of technological revolution or a city with quite some tradition -
Hyderabad is really all of these and more.
