Keep Eating


‘Khate Raho’ (Keep Eating) is something we needn’t be reminded to do because we Hyderabadis are at it all the time. So much so that it can be called the Hyderabadi’s unofficial motto. I saw this hoarding outside Baseraa in Secunderabad the other day while out shopping.

I guess no other city in the country has so many hotels and eating joints per square kilometer than does Hyderabad. Of course, when it comes to fancy restaurants Jubilee Hills takes the cake because that’s where those with big homes, big cars, big appetites and bigger wallets live. This side of the city we have to make do with Paradise, Garden, Alfa, Niagara and such joints where no one bothers which car you drove in and how big it is as long as you eat your biryani without the help of forks and spoons.
