Novotel and HICC Complex, Cyberabad Post Office, Near Hitec City Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, 91-40-55824422

So...after nearly 8 years in consulting, I've decided to try something a bit different...and this quick 4 day trip to India is to check out an opportunity within my firm, but outside of consulting. I've actually got an offer to move to New Zealand as well...but this India offer is intriguing in many, many ways. I pretty much decide that if I can handle this look-see visit from both a location perspective and from a people/team perspective, I'm choosing India over New Zealand. Just writing tha...
Hyderabad, India bwulzHave any of you ever heard of Hyderabad? I certainly didn't, until I found out I would be visiting. It is actually the fifth largest city in India. When we landed at the Hyderabad airport we were greeted by the Novotel car driver, and a cow. I am pretty sure the cow was just watching the car for the driving when he went inside to pick us up from our much delayed flight. We arrived at night, so we didn't see much. I think the most surprising thing we noticed on our drive to the hotel was just ...
Hyderabad, India choyt1427It is about 1 am and I land in HYD at their very new airport. You drag your carry-ons to an area to fill out a form that declares if you have been ill with a fever in the past week, etc. You sign that form and head to a line (one for locals, another for foreigners). There they mark the form and have you stand in front of a camera. It must be some sort of thermo reader because you see your body's outline with all these colors looking like a weather map or something. It somehow measures your te...

... Pearls in Hyderabad
Its rare to find tourist visiting Hyderabad, leave Hyderabad without buying pearls. The buying pearl ornaments in a profusion of excellent designs and shapes is the best thing you can do in Hyderabad. Whether its cultured pearls studded in gold and silver jewellery of ...
... like towel rods are later installed. If you drill through the grout between the tiles you still might damage an adjoining tile. You can avoid tile damage by using the proper tool. Porcelain Wall Tile made today with advanced technology gives the new Porcelain Wall Tile a look of marble or granite. It is also extremely durable as it is resistant to scratches, wear and tear and cleaner usage. Since ...
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India porcelaintile... I found amusing at the sight was that we had to take our shoes off before entering a tomb because shoes are dirty and therefore unholy. However, I feel like the bottoms of my shoes were cleaner than the floors of the tombs because my feet were definitely black afterwards.
Amidst all this greatness though the one thing that every tourist dreads happened. My camera battery died right away after I had only taken 14 pictures, and I had forgotten to bring my other ...
... like an idiot. He showed me where the political science books were and kicked someone off a computer so that he could look the book up. The computer came up with nothing.
HOWEVER, then I tried to thank the student and take my piece of paper with the book information back, but he would not give it. He made it seem like he was gonna keep looking for the book. The situation was confusing due to his inferior English. Walking through the stacks, he kept trying to put his around ...
... the ritzy clubs. A friend from Montana (Jamie) who use to live in India put me in touch with his friend Aditi. She took me all around the club scene. I think in 3 days we hit 6 clubs! It was great to hear good house music while sipping cocktails. Aditit works 6 days a week 9 hours a day and still is able to party hard. My hat goes off to her! For a town with 5.5 million people in ...
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India hildreth75... that we'd have to sleep at something other than a 5-star hotel (we would not be able to manage anything less after being pampered so at Tapas and Madhumanti's house). Brent went on a long walk down the street, up the main drag and back. I've now become scared of crossing the busy streets, b/c cars don't stop, there are no traffic lights or cross walks. On rare occasions, there are men ...
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, India abn941We had a full day. The morning was spent in finishing up the Emmaus meetings at the Catholic Retreat Center where the men were staying. It was an encouraging meeting. The work in Andhra Pradesh is moving ahead and it is the state with the most assemblies. There is good organization in Andhra Pradesh with potential for great growth. Tamil courses have exploded in distribution in 2006. We were also encouraged to be able to get ...
Hyderabad, India ecsflemings... a massive queue of people all booking a billion tickets each... So we went back to the supervisor... Who sent us back to the counter again and told us to push in... Being conserved and British we just couldnt do it, so we went back and shouted at him instead, until he personally led us to the front of the queue himself so we couldnt be blamed for the indignation of all the Indian men in the queue at two white girls being given priority over them! When we finally left the station we ...
