Hyderabad Trip (2nd Day)

I still remember Aloka's mom came into the room we slept in at 7 am that morning, calling us to get ready by 8 am to take a walk in a park. She said it's going to be great. We were so tired that we didn't want to wake up. I thought for a while.. and said, "Okay.. we'll wake up by then."
:D I kept getting back to my watch, but no one else woke up. 8.30.. 8.45.. 9.00.. ah, I guessed the plan had been cancelled.

The first thing we caught after getting ready is: breakfast!! We certainly woke up late that it was about time for lunch, too -- thus it's a brunch!
The place is called "Little Italy". It's a fine chain restaurant that serves buffet of western food every Sunday morning. A nice break of Indian food :p. I had everything that's custom-made: salad, crepes, pizza, and mongolian stir-fry. The food was delicious! and the price is comparable. This brunch costs 560 rupees (= US$ 14).

The day before we went sightseeing for the whole day. Today was time for shopping.
The first store we hit was Fab India. It was my first shopping in India, but not bad, I got a mini kurta for myself, which costs 560 rupees (about double that of other kurtas, because this one is nicer). It is pink/red in color, has some Indian patterns on it, and has golden linings. It does not have the neatest seamings, but I like it.
Then we went to a department store. I'm not sure what it's called, but it sells luxurious fabrics, rich in colors, patterns, and beads. Very georgeous. The store also sells Indian party dresses. One suit costs between 1000 to 5000 rupees. Even in US dollars they are very expensive.
By this time we were quite tired, but didn't mind to see more, so my friend took us to a craft exhibition. It was outdoor with lots of booths that sold shawls, clothes, clay crafts, other small hand crafts usually for gifts. One friend bought five shawls, for gifts :). Few others bought some shawls, too, but not me, not yet.

That's it! It's time to shower, pack up, and go back to Bangalore. For some reason we didn't go out for dinner, but only had mango. Then we rushed to the pick-up place.
The bus was crazily fast. I was shaken front, back, left, and right--all directions! It made me dizzy, plus I was hungry :'(. At least after 10 hours I arrived back in Bangalore on time to wash up and prepare for the 9 am training.

Ah.. couldn't wait for the day to end and to get rest that night
