HYDERABAD - The city next to paradise

by **seshadri** » Fri Dec 27, 2002 10:48 pm

I lived for a full 18 years before migrating to Canada. I live in Toronto, but vicariously enjoy the pleasure of being in the good ol\' Hyderabad. I miss much of it - the smoke filled (?) Irani hotels and the shouts of \"Do Chai\". There is an aura about hyderabad that seems to haunt me even at this distant 7000 miles. It would be a great pleasure to hear from you guys (and the fair sex of course), first hand about what\'s happening in the twin cities. Any takers?

I was delighted to know that Hyderabad still enchant people quite far of places. The love of the city and their experiences they had with the city no matter how much you write is never complete.

While this forum is still in its infancy and may attract more HYD lovers in future, I would like to share some of the silent history HYD concept was based on. It was all started during the period of the Quli dynasty, when the Golkonda was found to be not enough to house the expanding urbanization of that time.

The rulers thought of a independent planning team whose only brief was to search for a place virgin in content(unhabitated by any ideological landmarks) and with all the required natural resources around. In other words an idea of paradise was floated to search for a location.

The planning team was comprised of men of scholarly background and diversive ethenicity. It took quite a long period of hardwork,and finally when it was identified it really was befitting a place equal of a paradise.

The present HYD metropolis is now among the few cities of the world in which multi-ethnic community life is still flourishing with all its peace and glory ever since its founders(Quli dynasty)to its saviors(Nizams) and finally to its present patrons who has showered all they can to maintain the HYD\'s heritage for the future generation to carry on the good works required to keep the love of city paramount.
