To make up for Saturday night degeneracy, the day is filled with wholesome, as well as cerebral, fun. Check out thought-provoking theatre, á la mode apparel, scrumptious sustenance, and captivating concerts.
This weekend, those who resist the temptation to turn nocturnal can go workshopping. The workshops - including bonsai cultivation, classes on caste and indian political economy, make-up tips and more - range from the erudite to the esoteric, and go on till the banal.
Great music and plenty of alcohol may not make a man healthy, wealthy and wise, but the guy sure ends up with a night to remember (or maybe not, hehe).
Despite a docu-screening about a princess in a donkey's skin, Hyderabad does not believe in hiding it's light under a bushel. An eclectic mix of movies, plays, fashion shows, exhibitions and more are out there for everyone to see.
The people in this city sure are lucky this week. A profuse variety of events including, but not limited to, concerts by music greats like Shreya Ghoshal & Pankaj Udhas, will make a happy camper out of the finickiest of audiences.
Thursday nights in town are a musical lot, and tonight's no different. Hip-hop, salsa, Bollywood, rock - they're all over the city, for those who wanna shake a leg or just listen to good music over a drink or a few.
"When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when [we're] feeling sad", we simply get out and go get some pizza, watch a nice movie, or check out some great art - all of which are aplenty today in Hyderabad.
OMG, such dedicated patriots we have in this city - partying all night long in honour of the country. Nope, all those Pre-Independence Day bashes are so not an excuse to get hammered before dry day dawns.
If there is one thing that should daily reinforce a person's faith in the existence of something grander than this world we live in, it is food - mouth watering, multifarious, heart stopping food; food that brings tears to your eyes, a sigh to your lips, a burp right from where it matters most.
"...all Indians are my brothers and sisters. I love my country, and am proud of its rich and varied heritage." The sing-song rendition of our national pledge remains one of our most tenacious childhood memories. As the nation turns 65 tomorrow, the city is going overdrive celebrating the very same heritage.
It's all about staying pretty. This week, women get to size up their fashion quotient, with a clutch of shopping exhibitions and a fashion show. As for the men, they get to ogle.
If there is one thing that girls love above all else, its the pleasure of browsing - through clothes, arty stuff, and everything under the sun - with the intention of making a purchase. Add a workshop on make-up tips to the plethora of sales and exhibitions in town and, voila, you have a fun day out for Hyderabad's fairer sex.
Hyderabad's stage dwellers seem very promising this week. Nostalgia, wonder, admiration, introspection - these are just a few of the emotions you might expect to have roused in your breast.
Y'all must've heard enough jokes on the God particle giving mass (hehe), but this Saturday you can participate in an intelligent discourse on the God Particle, Science & Spirituality (caps intended). Those with more lighthearted pursuits in mind can always check out the numerous plays, art exhibitions, food fests, and movie screenings.
