Sad but True

I have become a creature of the night.....

A couple of folks and me went up to the hussain lake at 4.am fri.It was kinda nice and quiet although there seems to be some kinda smell emitting from the lake itself.

I was then introduced to an interesting dish at a place called "Nilafour Cafe" at about 5.30am.

A Plate full of cream and an assortment of bread and biscuits and boy was it yummy. Cost me about 20 rupees for the whole thing.

I was having a great time until i saw the sun slowly begin to rise......Time for the casket

I just wish there was only nights and no days in this town...Its either hot or hotter.

Been invited to go to the "old city" and check out the charminar on sunday night, will keep u guys posted

No Ballin as yet.......

how nice! if you have the chance to go off around the gachibowli area, try spending some time walking around the central university campus. and another lake called 'durgam cheruvu' could be worth a visit.

In Iran, chai is black tea, no milk, served in small glasses.

Durgam Cheruvu is also known as Secret Lake. It's sort of inbetween HITEC and Jubilee Hills. If your budget can handle a nice dinner...check out the restaruant Tamara which overlooks the lake.

Contrary to what wonderwoman has said, Irani chai in hyderabad is tea with milk simmered for a long time. Its delicious and creamy, you should have it with osmania biscuits

Hello all. I have just been informed that camping facilities are available at the lake.

If true, would you guys be interested to camp on one of the weekends with a moonlight bbq by the lake?

@Hermetic, I think i'll pass lol

Andrey my man!!! , Day fishing is out of the question coz of the heat, if you know of any night spots then let me know. I doubt if there any fish in these waters

Anyways are u in for the camping?
