The word Hyderabad conjures images of the Charminar, the Salar Jung Museum, the Golconda Fort, Palaces, Mecca Masjid and Biryani. Yet, this assignment was going to take me away from Hyderabad that I had known.
I was to focus on the new Nizams in the fifth largest city of the country. On young, urban Indians who are leading the nation, both economically and socially.
I saw the city in a totally new perspective: mushrooming of malls, conscious Hyderabadis in gyms, dancing schools in every backyard wherein young IT professionals line up to learn either Salsa or Bollywood mixed steps.
They eat street foods and also visit food courts where all the international brands are vying for space, I felt the pulse of the high-tech city with its young professionals during rush hour, NIFT, and the swank campus of Indian School of Business as well as the pubs where young gather to cheer the IPL teams. |
