In our current situation, we have gained a new appreciation for those who live through prolonged food shortages. Walking through empty aisles, picking from what’s left, trekking to multiple stores to find just the basics; feeling like we’ve struck gold when there are fresh apples. We know this anomaly is short-lived here, but hopefully we now have more empathy for those whose experience has been and continues to be much worse.

The beginnings of Hyderabad can be found in the massive stone complex of Golconda Fort, along with stories of how they cleverly survived using secret water sources, state of the art communication networks, and information gathered from visitors using unseen acoustics. You can wander on your own or hire a guide to walk you around and share their colorful history.

In small children wear bells around their ankles. When they walk around, the pleasant sound of bells fills the air and it’s obvious when they’re on the move. I love this so much more than the obnoxious squeaky shoes or backpack leashes used elsewhere.

The best are the kind you can enjoy once you get home; and that includes music. We love this vintage looking digital music player — pre-loaded with thousands of songs from India. The music takes us back to India every time we turn it on. Get your own

The building housing the Nizam’s Palace is interesting in it’s own right with 124 closets (the sixth Nizam is said to have never repeated an outfit), a manually operated elevator that’s over 150 years old and numerous historical exhibits.

Our guide suggested a visit to the Nizam’s Palace. Home of the seventh nizam, this building is filled with unique treasures of all shapes and sizes; gifts to the richest man in the world at the time for his silver jubilee.

There is a treasure at the Westin Hyderabad Mindspace.
It’s not the way the haunting flute music wafts up to the top levels from the lobby, which I loved. It’s not even the way the hotel makes you simultaneously feel both at home and somewhere foreign, easing the sense of culture shock.
It’s the reason why everyone we talked to recommended this hotel, including the hundreds of five-star reviews that convinced me to pick the Westin over every other option.
It’s Rajeev, their chef de cuisine.
Rajeev has a passion for people and food. And he combines them in such a way that you instantly feel you are enjoying a fine dining experience with a good friend.
Every day he curated our menu, making sure we experienced all the food Hyderabad is famous for without endangering our foreign stomachs.
And each day he introduced us to new dishes and flavors, from lamb dosa served with four distinct chutneys, to pickled garlic, to his signature dal makhni, which takes over 48 hours to perfect.
During the week I was there, we talked and laughed and he promised to look after my husband once I left, but the night he produced a surprise Indian birthday cake for the well-traveled elderly couple sitting next to us was the night I knew. No matter how long I am gone, I will always have a friend in hyderabad. 1. Minced lamb dosa with tomato, ginger, bottle-gourd and coconut chutneys 2. Mint and tamarind chutneys with samosas 3. Dal Makhani with rice, fresh juice, mint and tamarind chutney, and aloo paratha 4. Pickled garlic 5. Samosas with chutney and melon salad 6. Samosa chaat (with pomegranate) 7. Fried mushrooms 8. Dosa (potato and onion) with sambhar @ The Westin Hyderabad Mindspace
