So Near, Yet so far

I was greeted with heavy rain showers in Hyderabad which was quite unexpected to what I was told by my friends. But I was delighted and crashed on bed as soon as I got to it.

The next day was going to be quite tiresome, as I started off with the house-hunting. I was eagerly waiting for it to finish so that I can go back home and watch the IPL-4 Finale.

Luckily, my wish was granted, and I was able to witness the run chase of Bangalore. Somewhere down the line I felt, that RCB underperformed. The fortunes of RCB turned around after the arrival of Chris Gayle. Last season of IPL-3 witnessed a mediocre performance by Gayle and henceforth his ouster from KKR. And if RCB has reached the finale of IPL-4, the credit has to be given to this Caribbean. This year before every IPL match, every cricket related show used to discuss the strategy the opposing team needs to employ in order to get rid of Gayle storm, such was his terror. RCB was solely dependent on Gayle, when they had to chase such a mammoth score of more than 200, and the moment I saw his wicket falling in the very first over, I knew that RCB has lost it. CSK deserved to win, with match winners like Raina and Morkel in the team. Shrinivasan must be rejoicing over his team's win, and must be contented that after all his tweaking of bidding plans, at the very last moment paid off :).

Today, after finishing off with the house hunting, we headed to the Charminar, in the old city of hyderabad. The moment you enter the area, you recognize the distinction between the old city and the new city (Hitec city) of hyderabad. If you have had the chance of visiting the old by-lanes of lucknow, and the area around Chowk, one would immediately notice the similarity in the two. The old hyderabad has the same charm as that of lucknow, and this comes from someone who is a native of old lucknow.

Above is the pic of the charminar, I was able to click in the absence of daylight. Exuberant I was after visiting the monument, as I believe that it helps me realize the importance of our ancestral history.

I start off with my job tomorrow and hope to have an amazing experience...!!!

The beginning of a new Southern Journey.

They say good things always come to an end, but I believe that the end is just the beginning of a new journey. Shifting to Delhi (for a year I stayed n NOIDA) three years back was the best thing ever happened to me in the past. I relish all my memories which I have stacked up over the years, be it making new friends, visiting myriad eating joints in the past couple of weeks and of course the metro journeys. The city has given me a new life if I had to put it down. Mumbai, I felt was very dismal, and by the time I returned back to delhi, I was certain of not going back to the city because somehow I never felt related to the city, unlike the way Delhi attracted me. And now after, three glorious years Hyderabad beckons me and this time I start afresh with a job at Deloitte. 

I am quite lazy when it comes down to writing, be it exams, essays, or even blogs, but today before I leave Delhi, I decided to kick-off my own blog-spot something I wish to remember as a departing gift to this city (:D). Being a very outspoken person I decided to convert my views into black and white, sigh finally. I promise to keep the blog a simple one to read for all my friends, and one of a kind.

Just when I was about to return from lucknow, I was told about the excellent weather in Delhi, which I regret missing out, but today is no different with a cool weather. I am happy that I would be leaving delhi on a rather cool note :). 

Right now, I sign off, but I give my word to be back, and rather become an active blogger in the coming days. Also, soon I would be sharing my experiences in Hyderabad..!!

Ciao..!!
