Nothing much is happening in Hyderabad except that the weather is acting funny. Though normally February is very cold, right now it is warm. One won’t feel like it is winter except early in the morning. Since two days it is cloudy and yesterday it actually rained a little. Not exactly rain but a slight drizzle enough to wash off the dust on the plants at home.
I had been to the numaish, the annual Industrial Exhibition that is one from 1st Jan to Feb 15 every year. This is one place where we don’t seem to be in any particular hurry (unlike on the roads) and every one seemed to be shuffling along slowly. Some just stood rooted to the spot gawking at the sights or stuffing themselves with all those snacks and drinks. There were so many furniture stalls I wonder who would want to buy huge bureaus or sofas at such places.
We went to see the show where four bikes and two cars ride in a round metal cage. The bikes go fast around the cage and though it isn’t heart stopping it appears to be quite dangerous for if any one of the guys loses his balance he will plunge down to the ground. You’d think that such dangerous driving meant the motorcycle drivers had to wear at least helmets if not other protective stuff. Surprisingly they didn’t wear helmets or anything like that. It is a surprise no one noticed it, and also a bigger surprise how the organizers of the Exhibition allow it. Strange people, Hyderabadis.
