Hyderabad engulfs you in a traditional warmth. Be it the yummy lipsmacking food, the old buildings including the Charminar, the city weaves a magic spell. A truly magnificent city in every way epitomizes true old world charm, yet progressing by leaps and bounds. The city has a history of over 400 years. It is the fifth largest metropolitan city in the Indian Subcontinent. The enchanting city has been shaped beautifully by a multitude of cross cultural influences. Every corner in Hyderabad can boast of a duality that is harmonious? the confluence of the Hindu and Muslim communities. With its pleasant climate, wonderful shopping areas, magnificent and much talked about cuisine and the amalgam of diverse cultures every street, every monument; every tree must have a wonderful story to narrate. Also called the City Of Pearls, the streets of Hyderabad once saw these precious items being sold on the street like the peanuts being sold these days. The capital city of Andhra Pradesh is one of the most techno savvy cities in India, second perhaps only to Bangalore. It soon might be India's second Silicon Valley. The future, for the city of destiny, looks promising.
