This is my blog post No. 1300, and obviously it has to be something very special. So, it is about a beautiful place that is very close to us, close to us from the times of my paternal grandmother’s grandfather. We have been living close to this place, within 1.5 km, since seven generations, counting our grandchildren! What could be a better topic than this; on this occasion, to jot down in this journal of mine and to present to my readers!
Every village, town, and city in the world has beautiful places and one of them stands out as the most interesting and important one. I call it the heart of the place. Our city, the Twin Cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad has many interesting and beautiful places like historical monuments, palaces, museums, parks and so on. But that which stands out is the one at the center of the Twin Cities, connecting them by Tank Bund Road and the Necklace Road! And at the center is the beautiful Hussain Sagar Lake, which has been entertaining generations of locals and visitors with its wonderful looks and the entertainment it offers through beautiful landscaping along its banks, parks like Sanjeevaiah Park, Lumbini Park, NTR Gardens, Indira Park, several eateries big, small and fine dining restaurants, boat rides, our country’s high-rise, large National Flag, gigantic Lord Buddha Statue and the magnificent Birla Mandir made of marble. This is the heart of our City, close to which we have been living for the past seven generations!
Much can be written in detail about Hussain Sagar but for now in celebration of this beautiful place and my article No. 1300, I present below four videos which I hope would bring back happy memories to my readers from Hyderabad and those who had to leave Hyderabad for various reasons. And I hope it would be of interest to those who are planning to visit Hyderabad and all those who have not yet visited Hyderabad. The videos show Hussain Sagar and its environs from the East End and the West End by Day and by Night. Followed by these videos is the link to my earlier exhaustive post on Hussain Sagar, titled “Entertainment at Hussain Sagar, is close at hand!”
This link is followed by several happy photographs of us at Hussain Sagar and places of interest and entertainment around it. At different parks like Sanjeevaiah Park, Lumbini Park, NTR Gardens, Indira Park, and at the gigantic Buddha Statue, the marvelous Birla Mandir, our country’s ‘high-rise, large National Flag’ and the eateries, restaurants and hotels around it. This presentation, I hope will bring about some pleasant memories and smiles in people who are from Hyderabad and know about Hyderabad, and will give a fairly good idea to others about this lovely place of our City.
