Things I hate about Hyderabad

The things I hate about Hyderabad. When you are all free nothing at all to do in a city like Hyderabad with blazing heat not so great a place for a girl like me, the best thing that one can do is either sleep or blog away to ones heart content. I have few observations I have made about this city which my hyderabadi cousins and friends might refute to. But this is my space I have the freedom of expression.
Cannot beat the heat any time of the year. The scorching heat unruly, I would call it, with all its manifestations makes it miserable for me to be tagged, a freak. Though, Bangalore too is getting hotter but the heat here in Hyd is more the prickly types though not the clammy or the sweaty ones as In Chennai.
No matter how “fully dressed” a gal is, she attracts the attention and the ogles from a 16 yr to 60yr or even higher. She becomes the celebrity attains the stardom if that’s a gal walking with a trendy look. Burkha system is so much justified in this particular city. I have my views about this system but does not fall in the ambit of his post.
The attitude of people here is so galling, always trying to appease someone.
Yes!! Very inquisitive in others’ life. Lest realizing that fact that life is as much personal to you as it is to others. I have nothing strong to back this point. But I am sure most of you would concur.
I am lucky I never got to ruin my college days here at apartment like colleges without a play ground, the library stacked with nothing other than the core subject(physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology) books. Coaching right from 6th standard for entrance at IITs with the euphemism of “Early Bird classes. Constantly Measured by percentages and scores, an incessant struggle on the potential minds to think nothing but science.
“Man is a measure of all things” , this is my measure or the perception from this city. However vehemently I would want to pick an argument on these lines, deep inside I have my roots here. The belongingness supersedes. After all it is my “Home”.

Hi.Nice weather report :).It depends on the season you have visited Hydbad..btw..Winters are pretty cool here..its just that the climate here behaves the way it is meant to be in different seasons..rather than being monotonously dull all through the year.(I am not referring to the perpetual cloudy atmosphere of Bengaluru..so plz dont start the Hyd-Bnglr fight again..;) )..Now coming to the dress code..again it reflects the diversity and various shades of life here (again..I am NOT referring to the omnipresent metro sexuality of Bnglr)..after all..Variety is the spice of life..so my dear sister..start loving Hyderabad...the way u look things at both the places are totally different..in Bnglr u chill out with frnds..in Hydbad..u go out with ur family..so the kind of places and kind of enjoyment u have at both these cities are different..u know the cliche..beauty lies in the eyes of ...so just chill..and enjoy both the cities..btw good comparison and analysis..
