Weekends are worth "weekendful" only when we can get to know
about new places to "eat". And so was the weekend dated 1st November 2014.
With four co-travelers, I started off the journey by catching 116 number bus
from Q City(TCS ILP Training Centre) (Nanakramguda Village,Gachibowli) to Kothi. Kothi can be described
as one place full of markets in all the directions, where one can look for.
However the main destination was ‘Char Minar’. So we took 75 number bus to Char
Minar. We reached the place by 4 pm. One could only find tourists in the
entire. The place was illuminated in Muslim community dwellings. There were shops all around with various things ranging from food to clothes. All these
markets surrounded the center of attraction - “The” Char Minar. Nothing looked
as beautiful and magnificent. I was as usual busy with i-Phone of Divyesh;
taking selfies, group selfies and anything that looked magnificent.

Char Minar
would be undefined without the name of Mecca Masjid, where birds and humans sit
in harmony.But as usual I couldn't stop myself taking pictures all around.

| Pista House |
The journey would have been incomplete without eating
anything unique. So Hyderabadi Biryani was again on demand. This time we went
off the usual choice and ordered for Prawn Biryani at the world famous Pista
House. We were amazed when only 150 rupees was charged for each plate
containing adequate and fresh prawns. The course ended with Black Forest
chocolate pudding which was again charged for only 30 bucks. So people who like
travelling and side-by-side like “controlled expenditure” travelling, please do
make a visit to Pista House.After spending a quality time at Pista House, we opted to go
back to Kothi.
Boys are known for sudden plans. And so we did the same. All of
a sudden we planned to go to Gokul Chat, a new spot from our bucket list. So
instead of catching a bus back to Q City, we stopped at Gokul Chat. The place
was crowded with people to eat chats of various types and flavors. Surveillance
cameras and “ ”were put in the wake of
blasts that rocked the place in “date”.
Crowd was a disappointment but nothing could discourage from running towards
the aroma of Pani puri chat, Bhel puri chat and many more. After a small 10
minutes of struggle I managed to get all the items for me and my friends. The
chat session was ended with super famous (at least for me) Kulfi.
