mad hatters in the old city
Ended up heading into the "old city" part of Hyderabad, near the the Charminar! We were in search of the elusive kebab joints that people assure us exist there - and after propelling enough human traffic through the roads (that's what driving means, in that part of town) - we arrived at Shadaab. This is a popular place for haleem, and is right opposite Hotel Madina - which my driver assures me is the oldest hotel in Hyderabad. Having seen it - even if only the facade - I do not doubt him.
Enjoyed a wide range of yummy food, got stuffed, and spent the next hour walking down the main street, gawking at all the bright neon ligths, the brisk pace and the hawkers vending clothes, perfumes, traditional caps and bangles! We decided it'd be fun to buy traditional muslim prayer caps for some colleagues, and bargained vigorously until we got some fairly intricate ones for what we thought was a steal at twenty rupees! I gave one to Ghouse (my driver), who was kicked no end to see us wearing them! It'll be fun to watch the others come into office on Monday and try to figure out how they're expected to use them :). The looks we got when we came back into work afterwords, were hilarious...
