I have been to Hyderabad (India) so many times and I really love the city for a number of reasons. Since I am a resident of the city called Lucknow (India) which is almost like Hyderabad … maybe that what makes it so comfortable for me to be there and also makes me curious to know stuff about the place and the history of Hyderabad 🙂
But either ways, the city is awesome with it’s old history and rich culture, with all kinds of people from all over the country living and leading their lives.
I love that it has so much extremes of everything like the old city and the High-tech city … and with the sophisticated people with their BMWs and Porches … and also people like who still wear “Lungis” and eat their food on a Banana leaf (rather than a plate)… but I love it all. This is the view which I get from my place in Hyderabad, when I stand in my balcony and gaze over a beautiful part of the city which I adore, called the Necklace road (Hussain Sagar / Tank Bund). 
Well there are a lot ore things I could go on saying about the city, but since everyone knows that nobody can sum up all the things they feel for a place which they actually love or have been living in for a long time in just one small blog post, so I’ll just try to keep it short and express what I really want to in this blog… and also share a small part of the history which allows us to remember the parts of the city with their respective names and also tells us more about the history of Hyderabad as a city.

Be sure to leave your comments, in any case you wanna share some story behind another street / place which I have not mentioned here.
Thank you.
