aadab hyderabad....

yesterday while doing my rounds of blogosphere I stumbled upon 

Madhu Gopalan's lovely blog aadab hyderabad where she celebrates hyderabad and everything hyderabadi ! 

it reminded me of my hyderabad visit this august.

 i was there for the math-congress. but inspite of my 10 days stay, 

 i did not manage to see, smell or taste enough of the grand old city of the Nawabs and the Nizams... 

i however did manage a visit to the Charminar and  Laad Bazar, - the lane adjoining the four towers

which lies dotted with a myriad of colourful lakh and glass bangle shops....  

here are some of the photographs from that colourful  Hyderabadi lane...

me and sweta inside Charminar..... a narrow flight of stairs lead us there....
