India Travel Photo Essay: Hyderabad

We all have different views of everything: satellite view, local view, window view, side view, personal view, aerial view, and even fair view! Crap, that’s an almost-funny Filipino joke you got there! Lol. Okay, but hey - best view sometimes is the view right in front of you. :) … Yes, you got that right: the street view.

This especially holds true if you’re in places that you wouldn’t have imagined yourself to be in. In my case – India. Sharing a new leg of travel series here, this time in one of the most anticipated countries to visit. This country has always been an adrenaline-inducing travel bucket list to almost everyone I know, because clearly its chaos meets overpopulation meets travel experience. Of course, if you have been exposed to third world cities, streets, and places, some are deemed chicken shit already. Yes, I thought so too.

So, are you with me when I say that there’s no better way to get a comprehensive experience than to walk the streets of India, talk to locals, act like a local, eat like a local. It’s an adventure that deserves to be ticked-off in one’s travel to-do list, because it’s irrationally good of a feeling to be able to complete it. It’s a different kind of third world experience, not like the ones in Manila, or in Phnom Penh, or in Vientiane. It’s deserving of a complete one-page blog post!

Giving you a completely personal street view of the hyperactive and happy Hyderabad. We walked around for hours and hours around the city, and rode local transportations. A shout out to my Indian buddy who’s been gallant enough to inspire and change my view of India for the better - bring out the curry and celebrate!
