We have settled in fine, S’s busy with new work, V’s started with her play school, daily routine is set. I would have liked to have made some friends here by now but I guess that’s going to take time. Evenings are the only time I can try and connect with adults, and it has to be in the park lol! I am not complaining , not yet :)!

Lets see what I discovered in my  very first month in the city of Nizam’s

1. Neighbors are sweet.  We were welcomed  with sweets and greets on our floor the day we moved in, now, that never happened in Bangalore!! Could be because we moved in  just few days before Diwali, nonetheless it was a sweet gesture.Reminded me of good old Navy days,

2.   Parking here scares me to death. Even an most experienced driver would be, my poor car is
surrounded by Merc in front, BMW at the back and a Audi right next , I rather go hit my car to a wall then give a tiniest of scratch to these cars.  Thanks to the drivers,who are equally scared of me, I get a lot of help while parking lol.  Oh btw, you’ll see a lot of car drivers here. What with likes of Merc ,Audi’s one would rather be chauffeur driven than drive it themselves. Right?

3. Every second person that I have  bumped into  has either moved in from US/UK recently ( working in Google-Amazon-MS etc) or is into business and doing pretty good , well the cars in the basement are a testimony to that.

3. Most of the  kids here have a pronounced American accent,  at first I thought it was just a fad among the older ones, but then these tiny tots also have it!  It’s just how all of them speak, I guess it’s all  got to do with the  fact that they have returned from aboard and are going to international schools here. Or may be being new to the city , I am just paying closer attention to everything in plain sight.

4. Believe me ,when I say this, I am the only mother walking my daughter to the  park , the rest are all nannies.  The first few days I wondered if I was going out at the wrong time! It was only a week later,did I see someone other than the nannies with the kids. Bangalore was different.5.Trust Zomato reviews! We haven’t been disappointed with the restaurants so far.Food here is  not only awesome but freaky reasonable compared to Bangalore, You’ll have to experience it to believe it.

6. Roads here are “A”wesome!! I can go on and on about the traffic and road….take a clue from “A”wesome. Its that good.

While my heart still lies in Bangalore.  I am reaching out this city , my new life, change always has a way to make it’s place in your heart!

Hyderabad I am here and I am all yours!!!
