India is the hub of tradition and culture. There are many cities in the country and each got their own unique history and speciality. They all are famous for their respective talents.
After deciding to write a post about my favourite city from one of the four zones. It's hard to pick a city. Because all are worth to write about. Since Indiblogger ‘#madeofgreat Zonal War’ contest is the reason to write this post, I have to select any one city.
After sorting out much, I chose Hyderabad, which is in the south zone. And where I lived during my entire educational period.
As this is a very much known region for me, I can talk much about this.
Hyderabad is the popular and populous city in India. Secunderabad and Hyderabad together called as twin cities.
About Hyderabad :
Hyderabad was the capital city during the British rule and is the capital city in democratic.
It is called as ‘city of pearls’ and also ‘lion city'.
Now it is the joint capital for both the states, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Hyderabad is situated along the banks of Musi river.
This is the place with history of greatest rulers and emperors.
Floating in the colours and trends in the fashion, entertainment and IT.
People from both states shows interest to be called as Hyderabadi (demonym of Hyderabad).
It is providing education and employment to the people all over the world.
Hyderabad is the second
Now let's discuss the city with respect to the following three points.
- Drive
- Design and
- Connect
(1). DRIVE :-
Hyderabad is one of the busiest cities in India. 80% of roads in Hyderabad are with huge traffic. It is hard for a person to cross without a zebra crossing.
One who rides/drives on Hyderabad roads, then they can drive anywhere in the world. It needs much patience to handle the driving in some heavy traffic areas like Balanagar.
Due to many industrial areas and educational institutions and universities. Traffic problem gets worse by the evening.
Another disgusting thing about Hyderabad traffic is the horn sounds. There are some foolish drivers who sound the horn for no reason.
If someone visits the city for the first time, it's terrible to see all these traffic issues.
Highways and international highways, flyovers and the ring roads. All are rush during the evenings.
Even other cities has the same problem with the traffic,in Hyderabad it is a bit more.
Anyone can love the drive during nights on necklace road and roads around Falaknuma. Those lights from the advertising billboards and beautiful decorations, it's a good drive (if we have patience).
(2). DESIGN :-
Hyderabad is home for the monumental constructions. It has more than 400 ancient and modern day places and buildings to visit.
Many monuments symbolize the city. Some of the places worth visiting are :
- ‘Charming’ Charminar
- Hussain sagar
- Golconda Fort
- Birla Mandir
There are gardens and palaces. Indira park, NTR gardens. Palaces include Falaknuma palace, Chowmahalla palace etc.
All these attractions make the city a good tourist place. There is history behind every construction, all of them are interesting to hear.
For the film industry, Ramoji Film city is the best place. A photogenic filming region.
If you love shopping, here are few bazaars, which have some years of history. They are Laad bazaar, Begum bazaar, Sultan bazaar etc. Especially for girls, these are the best places to shop.
(3). CONNECT :-
Hyderabad has three major means of transport. Roadways, Railways and Airways.
These all transport systems facilitates the passengers to connect with the national cities. Some of the railway lines are laid during the British rule.
Roadways are the widely used transportation in the city, including the local city buses. India's 3rd largest bus station is located in Hyderabad, it is MGBS (Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station).
Railways include the goods and passenger trains and local trains. Railway lines connecting the other states works 24/7.
The Secunderabad railway station is one of the busiest stations in India.
Airways also provide their service to the people. Two airports, RGIA (Rajiv Gandhi International Airport) and Begumpet Airport.
Begumpet Airport is also used for the military aviation training and for the VIPs landing.
The new project (almost finished) GHMC Metro rail will help citizens to travel easily within the city. This is going to reduce the travel time for employees and students.
These are the key features of my favourite city, Hyderabad, considering Drive, Design and Connect. This post is a part of MadeOfGreat - Tatamotors
