Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ravin, the distance from ngp to hydrabad is about 480 kms. if your top speed is 80 to 90 kmph,you will average about 60 kmph, which means about eight hours from here to there. this is what it took my friend last week. your travelling time may have its own variables ,like where nayantara and nadana might want to stop please check Tarvinder (76) p.s. my parking bay is still vacant Dr Ravin N Das wrote: Anchita, I have two daughters, no son. I do not feel the need for an additional child, especially in this context, a son (neither does my wife, so I have taken care of it :-D). Though a number of my relatives and friends do insist that a " son completes the family " . And a cranky old uncle (he is 103 or so we believe, since he doesn't have a birth certificate) says my soul will never reach heaven unless my pyre is lit by a son! :-D But, I really don't mind, my daughters have given me enough joy I'm in heaven right now. I love them. Nayantara (13) and Nandana (7)... As far as sweets were concerned we distributed plenty when they were born. In fact I had hosted a cocktail dinner on each occasion. Amen!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Dear Tarvinder, Thanks for the response, just contemplating the alternatives. 480 kms is not bad, but I guess Chandrapur should be past during day time. Thanks. Ravin '82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Dear Ravin, When are you going to Hyderabad? I am also thinking of spending the New Year in Ramoji city. Maybe we could link up there?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Dear Kishore, We have our AIOS conference in February (1-4th), my junior colleague Dr Rahul Shukla and I are planning to drive down to Hyderabad. Not for New Year, sorry... However I'm really eager to meet you, maybe sometime in the near future, somewhere... :-) Ravin '82 Re: hyderabad > Dear Tarvinder, > > Thanks for the response, just contemplating the alternatives. > > 480 kms is not bad, but I guess Chandrapur should be past during day time. > > Thanks. > > Ravin '82 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi Ravin, We have been to Hy'bad recently, as our daughter is studying there. We might be going to her School for Annual day in Feb. but am not sure of dates. The road is mostly very good. You don't have to go to Chandrapur. Divert to right towards Hinganghat at Jam. Then there is no change of direction. However, the traffic in Hy'bad is horrible. If you have free time there, go to Paradise restaurant in Secunderabad for wonderful and famous Biryani. Or if you don't mind congested surroundings then have typical hyderabadi food near Charminar. You can drop in at my clinic/res for breakfast/lunch/dinner/tea on way to Hy'bad. There is lot of time yet(to fine tune the programme). Bye, Sanjay Marwah ' 78 Re: hyderabad > Dear Tarvinder, > > Thanks for the response, just contemplating the alternatives. > > 480 kms is not bad, but I guess Chandrapur should be past during day time. > > Thanks. > > Ravin '82 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Dear Sanjay, Thanks for the info. I don't know where Chandrapur crossed my mind. I know it is not on NH7. I have been to Hyderabad a number of times, only once by road that too took a bus from Nagpur. Apart from Paradise and it's biryani, I like Universal's burgers (MG road), Hotel Banjara's Telangana special dishes, a Chinese restaurant on Park Lane that sells lovely Hong Kong sea food dishes (I don't remember the name of the restaurant) and the lovely nawabi style food and ambience at Hotel Basera (the restaurant is called Savera, I think). I'll be staying at my friend's place in Secunderabad. My SIL too stays in Secunderabad, but I wont be going there. I am likely to cross Nagpur at around 11 am (too late for breakfast and too early for lunch) so I shall be dining (lunching) at Jamb. I remember some good dhabas there from our eye camp days. Thanks for the offer. Will definitely visit you some other time. As of now we are planning on leaving Jabalpur at 6 am on the 31st of January 2007 (Wednesday).

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks Sanjay and Ravin for those tips on Hyderabad. I shall use them on my likely forthcoming trip. Any further tips are welcome. Kishore Shah 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Dear Kishore, For the usual stuff widely promoted as tourist attractions in Hyderabad - Birla Mandir, Qutub Shahi Tombs, the 13th Century Golkonda Fort, Salarjung Museum (the largest single collection of priceless antiques in the world), the Nehru Zoological Park (India's largest zoo), Mecca Masjid (the second largest mosque in India and the seventh largest in the world), Nizam Jubilee Pavilion and Lumbini Park are all worth a visit. The fort, museum and the tombs are closed on Fridays and the zoo on Mondays. On the way to Ramoji film city visit the Shirdi Sai Baba Temple, Sanghi Temple. Ramoji film city itself has 3 and 5 star accommodation and lovely food courts. About 150 kms from Hyderabad is the Nagarjuna Sagar, the world's largest masonry dam. Etipotala waterfalls nearby is an ideal picnic spot. Cruise over Krishna to the Nagarjuna Konda Museum (Buddhist relics and artefacts). You could also see the Hi-tech city. I have a very close friend in Secunderabad, let me know when you are leaving, I shall SMS you his cell numbers in case you need any help.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks Ravin, Now how about some recommendations about good hotels to stay?

Malini With regards L/M Prasad (lp1960@...) <outbind://4/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/GIFS/floers/bouqet1.gif> Wish a very happy and cheerful day keep smiling Re: hyderabad Dear Sanjay, Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Another thing I really hate, but a number of tourist like, is the Charminar and shopping in the bazaar around it... Ravin '82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Dear Kishore, Hotels are one thing I have never really bothered about in Hyderabad, since I have either stayed at my SIL's or my friend's or my friend's parents' place. However Taj Banjara (Banjara Hills) overlooking it own lake is a lovely place. Address Taj Banjara Road No. 1, Banjara Hills Hyderabad - 500 034 Andhra Pradesh India Tel : (91-40) 66669999 Fax : (91-40) 66661070 Email: banjara.hyderabad@... :-) Ravin '82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
