Well, we are presently in the city of Hyderabad staying at the excellent APTDC hotel at Taramati Baradari. The hotel is extension of the heritage building. We visited the superb fort of Golkonda. When we were watching the Sound and Light show there, the electricity went off and we left after waiting for 15 minutes. We picked up Pallavi Bua at 8 pm from near Cyber Tower and went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. Pallavi Bua had got a cake and we celebrated mom’s birthday there. Then we went to Golu bua's place of residence and even met her roomy there.
As an update, after posting my last Post, I crammed some logarithm into my small brain till around 11:30 in the night last night (I started at about 10:45!). We left Omerga at about 8:30 in the morning. Reached Andhra Pradesh via a small route through Karnataka. It was a fun ride. We had our breakfast in a typical Dhaba, with the unusual and interesting name of "Guru Nanak Punjabi Reddy Dhaba !!"
In Hyderabad, we tried and tried to find our hotel, made a lot of u-turns but ultimately with help of directions provided by the hotel manager and mainly the good luck, we made it to our hotel. It is behind the monument Tirumati Baradari, a structure made by the king for his beautiful courtesan, Tirumati.
If only the rocks could talk.......
