 Over 3 weeks in December I went to India (Hyderabad, Delhi, Anantapur, Jaipur, Agra), with a stopover in Istanbul.

Secret Lake near Hi-tec City
Sun, Jan 9 2005 06:58AM |  |
|  | | Though Hyderabad is going through its "Hi-tec" revolution, there is still emphasis on being outdoors. Thus, there are parks all over the city, including this one on Secret Lake. (Hyderabad) | | 7 comments |

Sculpture at Shilparamam
Mon, Jan 10 2005 04:35PM | |
|  | | This was my favorite place in Hyderabad. In the daytime it was a peaceful, beautiful place showcasing arts-and-crafts from the area, at night it was filled with vendors from all over the country alongside performers and mendhi artists. (Hyderabad) | | 2 comments |

A view of old Hyderabad
Mon, Jan 10 2005 04:42PM | |
|  | | While the rest of the state is predominantly hindu and telugu, the old part of the city is mostly muslim and urdu-speaking. (Can you spot the women in purdah?) | | 2 comments |

The Charminar
Mon, Jan 10 2005 04:46PM | |
|  | | The main attraction in Hyderabad, built by Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah in 1591 to commemorate the end of a devastating epidemic. (Hyderabad) |
| Birla Temple

Laad Bazaar
Mon, Jan 10 2005 05:02PM | |
|  | | Walking the streets of this bazaar confirms the notion that you can buy anything in Hyderabad (for any price). From medicine to bangles to books to furniture, it was all for sale in this bazaar. As you walk, vendors call out to you promising you a good deal (Hyderabad) | | 2 comments |

Palm Trees in Indira Park.
Mon, Jan 10 2005 05:47PM | |
|  | | While Indians today eat more and more, the beautiful parks around the city are the perfect compensation (thank god, Hyderabad is known for its amazing all you can eat buffets). (Hyderabad) |

On Hussainsagar Lake.
Mon, Jan 10 2005 05:56PM | |
|  | | If you are cheap (like us), you can take a rickety metal boat to this island. If you are fancy, you can take another rickety metal boat with a DJ and dancers. One thing I love about India: the prevalence of male back-up dancers. (Hyderabad) |

Fortuneteller.
Mon, Jan 10 2005 06:17PM | |
|  | | The fortune teller lets this sad parrot out of its cage for about a minute so it can choose a card at random that supposedly tells your fate. I was told that I'm a foreigner (true) and that I'm going to get married and make lots of money (not true). (Hyderabad) |

|  | | People in India are so nice, these guys chased down one of their goats and held it for Sivani, just so she could pet it. (Anantapur) |

Tue, Jan 11 2005 04:46PM | |
|  | | The towers of the Taj were originally designed to lean out slightly (in case of an earthquake, they would fall outwards instead of towards the main building), but now are all dangerously leaning outwards to different degrees. (Taj Mahal, Agra) |
