Hyderabad...still a home for all.

Hyderabad is my second home. I simply love this place. I’ve been here for 7 years and I‘ve only come to love it more and more over the years. This is the place where I found love, discovered the joys of friendship, of eating out, movies, shopping for secondhand books and so much more! I had my two siblings here for vacation when I was still a student. I had the second batch, i.e. my parents and the remaining two siblings last Christmas. And they all LOVE Hyderabad.

My parents sleep in peace even though I’m 5000 miles away from them. When they came here, they saw that I had wonderful neighbors, and friends who love me dearly. They even found the auto drivers “nice.” My dad was so impressed with their honesty and demeanor that he even started to tip them generously.

Now when the city that we love so dearly is bombed and attacked, my heart aches. When they heard, my parents cried not only because they were worried about their children, they were also shocked by the way the safe home had been attacked and shaken. This is the city where they left their footprints, the city that gave them so many beautiful memories to take home. My family prays that Hyderabad rises up from this calamity and once again proves it to be the safe home that it has been for their daughter and so many others.
