Today is the first anniversary of
Telangana State Formation. We took a holiday today and celebrated this special
day mostly by enjoying popular local cuisine and watching TV programs on
Telangana State Formation Day Celebrations. Last night we went round to see the
colorful illumination along the roads and of important buildings in few parts
of the city. At midnight we watched on TV the beautiful fireworks organized at
a number of places and the revelry.
Today morning we had a special and
very typical breakfast of Hyderabad…Paya ki Nihari/Nahari (Lamb trotters’
broth) with Char Koni Naan (Flat square bread). Then we watched TV - leaders offering
respects to Martyrs at the Martyrs Memorial, Gun Park. And then we watched the Main
Official Government Function at Parade Grounds, Secunderabad…hoisting of the
National Flag, a very impressive parade, very attractive Tableaus of various
Government Departments and honoring of a large number of prominent Telangana
personalities belonging to various occupations. Then we cut a Cake – a home
baked Vanilla Bundt Cake with Vanilla Glaze Frosting, followed by lunch
consisting of Mutton Biryani, Mirchi ka Salan, Onion-Cucumber-Tomato Raitha and
the regular food items. Then it was time for a nap, followed by watching a very
entertaining Hindi Movie on TV – Chupke Chupke. Late in the evening it was time
for entertainment once again with a wonderful Cultural Program at People’s Plaza
and fireworks at Hussain Sagar. And then dinner as per afternoon menu, followed
by dessert of Vanilla Ice cream with Cake.
Enjoyed the day thoroughly, the food
and Cake which turned out very well, all the programs, the movie and the family
camaraderie as you can see in the photographs below:
