Arrived in Hyderabad at 7:40 this morning, despite nearly missing my flight (my wake-up call came an hour late) and the pilot nearly missing the end of the runway (heh– our Boeing 747-800 came to a screeching halt some 20 feet before the end of the runway).
Sagar met me at the airport. Needless to say, it’s great to see him again.
Spent the afternoon wandering around, partially lost, eating amazing food, exploring a huge museum, and eventually ended up at a huge Mosque– large enough to accomodate 10,000 people.
Hyderabad is much more of the India I expected, and much easier to digest and take in than Kolkata.
This isn’t a proper post, and I apologize. I’m still looking for a power adapter for my lappy– when I have that, you’ll have a decent update, and maybe a picture or two.
We leave for Hampi tomorrow morning by bus.
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to visit India at some point. KBC used to be part of D. E. Shaw, which has a large office in Hyderabad.
