My city is so beautiful. It has visited many people around. Atmosphere is here good. The people stayed from various regions. The spoken languages are Hindi, English and Telugu. Every one wears western and indian wers. People go outside for eating and playing. The city has large houses. Two stares and multi store buildings are visible.

Do learn Telugu. Learning Telugu help you to communicate with the locals much better than just knowing Hindi and/or English. You Will meet people from all backgrounds. Every community has strong roots here.

For somebody moving to Hyderabad, he should be very specific that the climate is hotter than any North Indian state and the food spicier. The person should also be very specific in knowing either Telugu or Hindi, as locals may not be very welcoming to hear English or any other unknown language from a stranger.

Hyderabad has a fascinating history of its origin and development over the centuries. I really like the strong presence of Persian culture here. I really like how people from the Old City speaking Urdu. I really like those Ghazal concerts that happen pretty regularly. Speaking about contemporary art and performances Hyderabad still features a superb distance to travel, but there are many enthusiasts within the town who constantly organize various events bringing modern artists (such organizations like Lamakaan, Goethe Zentrum, Alliance Francaise, Hyderabad Western Music Foundation). Many recently opened restaurants offer decent continental and Asian food. I love Hyderabadi bakeries, which are numerous.

Hyderabad, otherwise known as the city of pearls, is often overlooked in the Indian skyline of famous cities. With one of the richest histories and multicultural population, Hyderabad makes one of the most unique conglomerations of people and traditions. Like any Indian metropolis, one of the major inconveniences regarding moving to such a city is the ever present crowd and traffic. Housing some of most popular and important companies in the IT scene, the city is fast-paced and busy. However, it is well contrasted with it’s slower, more passive side commonly known as the ‘old city’, that houses the city’s most precious monuments and sites, a safe distance from hurried live run by the rapidly evolving technology. For a new resident, the city proves a comfortable place in terms of varied languages, cuisines, easy public transport and reasonable real estate. The only real downside if any, would be falling in love with the city and lifestyle and not being able to leave.
