At the Restaurant - Hyderabad House - Banjara Hills

Hyderabad House is the Hyderabadi chain of Restaurants specializing Hyderabadi Cusine. This was the first place where I ate when I first came to Hyderabad in 2001, and still love to eat there.

Chicken Biriyani and Thums up are the best combination.

The Banjara Hills restaurant was decorated sometime back which is evident from the looks of it - it looks a bit wornout. Over the years the prices for the food there has increased substantially. Earlier it was affordable for me to have lunch everyday, but now a days it pinches a bit.

Food as I said is totally Hyderabadi and they know what they are cooking, and food tastes very good.

A Train Journey

I recently went to see my parents. I took these pictures at the Vizag Station. The hills in the back ground had nice fog on them and they looked inviting.

Earlier when I used to travel in the train there used to be just 2-3 stations in between where there was mobile phone connection. However now a days the telephone connection has improved a lot and one can find the mobile being up almost the entire journey.

I discovered that each of the station name board also mention the Height from the Mean Sea Level. For example this Ichapur station is about 16.7 mt above Mean Sea Level. This I believe is a British time trend which has been continued as the height details are missing on the newly painted name boards.

While returning I came to know about some more interesting facts; like the L/C board means that there is a Level Crossing down the way and W/L means the train driver is required to blow whistle since there would be a crossing down the line.

I also came across the Indian Railways Fan Club (IRFCA) website. If you are interested in railways in India this is the place to go.
