Some times things happen in ways and manner that are beyond our understanding. I am sure that in your lives you must have had one of those days when the very thing that came into your head or conversation happened...
In our day to day activities we become so engrossed that we fail to even pay attention to them many a times... and yet, many a times things happen and leave with us a sense of deja vu...
Remember the last time you wished for the rain, and suddenly the clouds came... or that wish for a chocolate that your buddy turned up with...
Of all the places of interest in Hyderabad, the only place that I'd missed till now was Srisailam or as some say Srisailapuram... now the concept of the place is like that of Dilli Haat... what fond memories I have of the place... in fact, I will recommend anyone with time in Delhi should make a visit to the Haat... you know the ambience, the feel and best of all - the food, of all the states of the country, really!
Yesterday was like any other Saturday in office except the fact that towards the end of the day the HR fella came around with some Rock show passes that somebody had given him... I took two for a friend and self... though neither of us being fond of that genre of music... yet we were on our way and believe it or not with only a vague idea of where we were headed... when I took the passes the only mention of the location was in terms being somewhere in Hi-Tech City and on this assumption we made our way to a place nearly an hour and a half away from my place...
Being unclear of the destination we got down at the first place that looked likely... then we began to walk and walk ... and walk! There was just no show in sight and we ended up walking to the very doors of Srisailam!
The place matched it's description... once inside it is hard to imagine that such a quaint, peaceful and TRAFFIC-FREE place exists in Hyderabad... there is the display of handicrafts and folk arts, and a couple of eating places that serve dosas et al. But it's a spread over a huge area and to tell the truth to see so many trees growing so close to each other and apparently naturally green was a beautiful sight!
As we drifted along the place we were drawn in by some beautiful music and would you believe it... there is this little stage in the middle of Srisailam where the folk singers perform... the light evening, soft breeze, green grass to sit and beautiful Qawwalis made the evening memorable...
When we walked out of the place at around 10 pm we ran into two fellows who were still searching for the Rock show... eventually everything that starts must end...
