My most memorable year in HYDERABAD

              - by YASWANTH CHAKRADHAR

I stayed in Hyderabad for just one year and I have memories that I can't forget till my last breath.

I went to J.N.V, Gachibowli in 2017 as a part of a scholarship program. In very few days itself I made friends for life and enjoyed the rest of my stay to it's best with them. I can say that they are the happiest days of my life.

As we have no permission to cross the boundary, we used to jump over the wall for movies and fast-food. The New year party celebrated there was still the best one I had till now. We had  escaped from wild pigs that night just to reach back to J.N.V before midnight. All those moments are unforgettable.

As the place where we stayed is near to H.C.U, it's difficult to get movie tickets. So, we used to go to Miyapur to watch movies. And as we have no permission we are left with only one option that is night show. And one of the best memory I have is walking on the clear roads with my friends while returning. It takes nearly 3 to 4 hours to reach back to gachibowli by walk. But we used to enjoy those long walks disturbing street dogs in between.

Sometimes it even went bad when cops started asking our whereabouts. Thanks to H.C.U which saved us at that time. Whenever we're asked we used to say that we are from H.C.U.  Once it went more worse when cops asked about our IDs. 

When we came to know that we are leaving Hyderabad, we started admiring it's beauty. I still remember the  charming market area of charminar, chaos in koti, spectacular view from birla mandir. We went to Gachibowli stadium to attend pre release event of a movie.

Managing attendance was really difficult. Although friends have some stupid reasons to cover the attendance but sometimes it became impossible when the person in authority is a tough one. The most childish thing I remember is that we used to fight over the taste of biriyani. It may be Mughal, Bawarchi or Alpha, everything comes under one roof when we say "Hyderabadi Biriyani".

There are even some bad memories like being caught up while jumping over the wall, losing mobile while traveling and so on. But as if it was said in some movie: memories,

"Be it good or bad will always stay with us."

If I go on sharing all the memories I have,  it needs a 500 pages book to complete it.

We have done 365 wierd things in those 365 days just to gain memories. Because memories can turn the saddest moment of your life to the happiest. All you need to do is just remembering the happiest memory you have. 

Thank you very much Hyderabad for providing me with countless such memories.
