The city of dead, is not how one would describe the nights
here in Hyderabad....during the day the streets are crowed and are filled with
different stories floating around but as night hits this city, things quite
down a bit and the moods shift from rock genre to blues....as the sun sets down,
Hyderabad changes its views and moods....the focus shifts from chaotic markets of
daily supplies and other colorless accessories to the markets of color and
attraction....the attention is diverted towards the world of shopping and cuisine
as our office class offer their time to their families after a day’s hard work....the city glisters w
As the night moves on further towards the darkness, the busy
streets become empty as the markets shut down.....the tired people either move to
their homes to mark the day’s end or enjoy the night’s breeze with their family
and friends.....they dine at places such as Al-Manzar to enjoy the moonlight near
the sight of the river or move towards the restaurants which depict the history
of Hyderabad such as Nehroon Kot.... Regardless of time, the city remains alive....the
people never let it go to sleep....especially during the month of Ramadan, the
streets are completely filled with excitement....every road, every turn would
point towards a tournament being held....people of all ages are found playing
cricket or football...one match ends and another starts....even the kids, who have
just started walking, are seen sitting outside with some guardian and enjoying
the view....
This excitement of the night is not limited to the
youngsters of today but even our elderlies turn young....even at 3am, the tea
cafes are filled with groups of friends chatting as if they do not care of the
next sun rise....the people of Hyderabad are not well aware of the disco life but
instead they have mehfils which are strong enough to tremble one’s soul....famous
artists read their verses and people gather around to experience the view as
they reach their souls....still there are some who are not aware of the night
outside their walls but rejoice their freedom by staying up all night by watching
random movies or playing games with family or friends....
As the sky glows with the light of the sun, these rebels of
the night go to their dens to get some rest....some might go for a heavy
breakfast of seero puri to mark the end of their night and others just slip
into their beds to get a shut eye to wake up to a new journey, a journey which
they save up to tell their future generations....
