Now how can i explain Ramooji film city in a blog. Thats sheer injustice. Everyone should go and see this marvelous wonder. And always take your girlfriend with you..as the gardens and the locales are purely romantic. Again, its spread out to hectres of filmy complex.

Fake cities are completely rebuild for the song sequences..you will see airport, sub jail, hospital, court and what ever. China ,london, paris, newyork…and one huge collection of beautiful gardens.

So i wish i was not alone, but alas i was. So guys dont make the mistake of going there alone. Its huge and alone its sometimes boring. Then i followed upto charminar the returning day. One historical monument which we should all see. The huge looming historical magnitude. I bought postcards of all the main hybd places for 10 rs from a lady. She told me that i should go to Birla Temple. Actually i had planned to see Mecca masjid also. There was also one placce called laad bazaar where i thought of shopping hybd pearls.

Hmm anyways my auto driver told me not to go to the bazaar as the place was not good. He told that if you shop there you will be looted of your pocessions. That became evident when i stepped out of the auto. 3 beggars suddenly surrounded me. They held on to me and didnt let me move.

I told i am not gonna give anything..but they were adamant. This made me angry..if they were not this agressive i would have given something. So i tried this act of calling someone over the phone. They hesitated, but again held stand. So i felt helpless. Tourist will definitely curse india after coming to this place. Suddenly the other auto drivers words came to my mind…traffic police!

I went upto the traffic guy and complained..he scolded all very harshly. Now they also told him something in slang and then departed. thanks God, i am not going into the bazaar anymore. I even skipped visit to mecca masjid which was nearby. I could not try to attempt to talk across the street. So i watched the majids beauty from over the charminar. It was huge and lots of people were walking around. Suddenly the bell in the minar rang and the guard guy came hurrying down. He took a boy by his ear and scolded him. may be he rang the bell. Then only i saw the ball, it echoed inside the minar and birds flew all around.

From there i went to birla temple, the full marble marvel by the birlas. I had so little time as i had t catch the train back. I went to planetorium and got in to see the show. But then time was not there. Suddenly one fresh group of ppl came in. They were mallus..the guard made me move all over the place. Then i thought lets go with the flow and i walked out. The guard thought i was angry t his behaviour. He told me sorry and all but i said i am going out anyways. naughty me huh!

I got an auto and reached abck just in time for the train. THis was one good trip. But more was to come on the way back..guess what?

I came back in the elderly chachas elderly ambassador. We tried to see the 7 tombs but it was closed. I had a ganna juice and then i came back to my luxury hotel room. After some food i decided to go and see the necklace road and other posh areas. So following the directions of the hotel receptionist i got in an auto. It was 25 rs to Imax.

I was going to see imax for the first time. Ppl have told me its once n a life time experience. The crowd was huge and posh. I was confused what to do as i didnt have an internet prior booking done for my show. But it was over the hedge in 3D. I took the ticket and then waited along with others. I was given one 3d glasses which seemsd pretty ordinary but once broken had a heavy duty fine on it. There was numbering on the ticket and my seat was unique.

I didnt know that either and sat on the top most seat. When others seemed particular about their seat, i check my ticket. it was a 2 digit numbering system which indicated the row and column of the chair position. I got into my chair ans watched in awe the size of the huge screen in front. It filled the whole view, i had to look to the sides to see the full picture. hmm..then the imax promo showed and then they put on spiderman 3 trailer.My first imax experience.

I put on the glasses and saw the film in its full glory. i had decided that i am gonna visit imax again tomorrow. The next day was the film 300 in imax. It was worth a million shows. One action packed movie and one huge screening..i enjoyed every bit of the action. It felt like i was in the film.

On the way back i had to catch auto. So i thought it would be 25 again. But alas it was 50. I started bargaining, but they all left when i started bargaining. Hmm..then i settled for 35 with one auto guy. He claimed that after 9 its night fare. The next day i had one good autoguy who told me his meter was the only genuine non altered meter. It didnt move in majority of the journey and i felt he was telling the truth. It showed 20 rs for the same distance that i followed the previous day. i gave him 25 anyways. He told me that if auto ppl demands more i should tell them to stop the rikshaw near a traffic police guy. They will get scared and will only ask genuine fare. I didnt want auto ppl to run me down so i thought may be its better to pay rather than to make them angry. But his advice really paid off the other day when i went to charminar.

Now was the trip to Ramooji film city…later ok!

I had planned the trip to hyderabad one month prior. Then when the day came all my friends abandoned me. The friends in hybd went else where and no one from here was willing to come as all said its too hot in hybd. I had never thought about the heat and had no idea how hot it really was. People from chennai told that its hotter than chennai – it began to look like a bad decision. But i had decided to go anyway. I had to visit Golgonda Fort, charminar, Birla Temple, Planetorium, Imax and numerous other places if possible.

When the train reached secunderabad much of the people exited the train. There goes the first step wrong..i should have actually planned my stop at secunderabad. Anyways it gave me ample time to think and relax as i was totally consumed by a very talkative Telungu guy who was talking on and on about his multiple jobs. The lady opposite told me telungu ppl wee very talkative and they wont stop once started. She was feeling pity for me. Anyways the train had stopped in secunderabad and it was moving slowly to hybd. I saw the budha statue, the hussain sagar lake, the tank bund and the posh area of the city from the train.

After exiting the train i found a good AC room for rs 800 per day. it was a high posh hotel and the food and the stay was excellent. They arranged got the trip to golgonda, flalaknuma, 7 tombs and to the Ramooji film city. I cant really explain these places to any one…as these are places you should see for yourselves.

Golgonda fort: Acres spread across the hilltops of the outskirts of the city is this huge city inside a fort. It is currently in ruins, but an exceelent spot to be nostalgic about history. You can walk the mountain paths to the top mahal. If you dont take a guide with you then you can roam around freely and thats what i did. I walked around all over the place and found the corner guns called the ‘peeranky’ . These shot hot iron balls into the invaders. There were located at the corner vantage points as the hill overlooked the city beneath. There was also one temple atop the hill. On top of the highest mahal you can just see the beauty of the twin cities to the max. Small soap boxes of houses and other structures lined up towards the horizon.

It was hot, but thanks to mineral water bottles i was not dehydrated or anything. Lot of tourists and people were coming to see the place. Lot of guides were entertaining those people..i walked on every path i saw..some led to small caves when some led to cliffs. It was total nostalgia..i wished i had some one with me. A romantic mood leapt up, but i didnt want to miss the fun that was there even when i am alone. For all those couple out there, this is a place where you can sit around in the shadows or get lost for good. I saw a lot of couples in the shadows, but hey life is good right!
