My April - July 2009 trip to Hyderabad

kirit

Hi everyone... My company is sending me to India - Hyderabad for 3 months in the month of April 2009 to July 2009. I am kind of nervous. I am pure vegetarian and Jain (who doesn't eat onion - garlic etc). I can survive well in USA when I travel everywhere.. But I am not sure how it would be in my own country but different state. I am originally from Gujarat.

My company has reserved suite in Madhapur based Oysterbay group.(Oystergroup.in). From their website, they look very good. I will find out more once I will get there.

I am also planning to visit Ahmedabad during week-ends at least one in a month. My company's office in the Hitech city.

Any tips for a Gujju Jain - Vegetarian would be appreciated. I will appreciate if you will share tips on how to spend weekends in Hyderabad, food, restaurants, distance, etc. what ever you can think..

Thank you Mr Delhiwala.. This is a great web for Jains.. I am looking for such contacts. Honestly, in USA, when I go to Indian (south indian) restaurant, I get jain sambhar. And if some restaurants doesn't offer Jain sambhar, they still are helpful and make Jain Sambhar specially in 30 to 45 minutes. On my next trip, I just have to call in advance and they will make Jain Sambhar for me before I get there. But when I went to Bangalore, it was tough to get Jain Sambhar there. Most of the times, I had to eat Idli with chutney. In Gujarat, we get jain sambhar everywhere. I am not sure about Hyderabad. The link in your email is very informative. Thanks for sending.
