Heavy Rains @ Hyderabad
30 August 2009 was bright sunny day and every one as usual was complaining of lack of rains . But to much of every ones suprise by midnight things started to change and cool breeze started flowing. Every one was glad that atleast temperature will cool down and none anticipated rains.
At 00:45 , 31 August 2009 it started raining heavily which none expected by 01:00 it was evident that its going to be a heavy downpour. When I peeped out of the window nothing was visible outside except the rain and the foggy view. Every one was glad that fianlly its raining heavily but my happiness was short lived and with lighting thunder electricity supply was gone and most parts of the Hyderabad was in darkness. This is nothing new even slight rain leads to power outage in Hyderabad.
Temperature inside my room was quite hot and then i decided open my windows , well this idea backfired and mosquioes started tormenting us. I was left with no other option to bear the heat inside well packed house and viewing the heavy downpour from windows.
Around three i decide i cant bear this heat any more , so decided to call the Andhra pradesh electricity complaint number 155333 , but all efforts to get in touch with electricity officials were in vain and phone repeated the pre recorded message " all lines you were trying to reach are curently , try after some time ". I tried calling desperately to the electricity department so many times but never recieved any response.
Then I tried sleeping in my room along with buzzing music of mosquitoes with no success. To add to my anger, APGenco switched on one phase in my lane was switched on but i wasn't so lucky enough. I was turning sides till 5 am then finally lights glowed in my room. By this time i was no longer sleepy, so decided to switch on television and by this time all local news channels were flashing news of heavy downpour across telangana region and Hyderabad too . More over one person lost life near Chaderghat near malakpet region, this was the first heavy downpur since monsoon season. Finally after short sleep i woke up around 9 am , even though my alarm was for 7 am :) . Quickly took bath and got ready for office and peeped out of the window and was glad that it was not raining so decided not to waste time in Hyderabad's worst traffic conditions and switch to bike today instead of car.
Well i was half way struggling traffic and pot holes in the busy roads towards Gachibowli , it started raining again :( . I got completely drenched by the time i reached office .Well you might be thinking finally my longgg sequence of events are done. Well NO :) . Now that i have reached office after being drenched with air conditioner switched on imagine whats my condition .
Hyderabad : Traffic Issues

- As seen in the above image , lorries are parked in the middle of the road.
- Seven seater auto's stop on the middle of the road or on the bus stops.
- All hotels and cafe's have zero parking space or very less than what is required.
- Hawkers occupy half of the road.
- Some stretch of road is in terrible condition.
- Less traffic constables monitoring.
- Bus stop is very close to the traffic signals and turnings, needs to be relocated.
STAGES OF A TEENAGER GUY !!!!!!!!!!
Well let me explain , once a guy is young enough the first thing the teenagers ask is ........... "DAD mujhe NEW mobile phone chahiye please "( DAD I NEED A NEW MOBILE PHONE ). After much flattering and promises that you will score well in the coming exams , achieving those targets you are awarded with a MOBILE PHONE . Well same thing happened in my case , you know when i was damn crazy to get new mobile and when dad was opposing it , I purchased collecting pocket money for few months and the funny part dad still thinks that the mobile which he brought for me is the FIRST ONE .............. ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh CONFIDENTIAL hai yeh .
Then comes the second level , " DAD mujhe NEW bike chahiye pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee " . First reply from DAD , NO .... my son still you are not eligible , wait till you are 18 .Finally when you are 18 after much deliberation you get BIKE and you start zooming around the city bunking classes . First place where a youngster from Hyderabad ventures out is usually NECKLACE ROAD , then the SECRET LAKE at Madhapur .
Then come important third stage , where SHOW OFF is on top your MIND and you want to be best among your group .THEN the WONDER IDEA pops up your mind WHY NOT CAR ????? when my friends can have it , why cant me ! Then you start visiting website of FORD , HYUNDAI , HONDA and other car majors , after much review you zero down to your favorite CAR and their prices in HYDERABAD. Then you start think of the reasons to convince your DAD . Finally projecting advantages and the reasons , you get the car .
Well HUMAN DESIRES ARE NEVER ENDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then comes the next stage , and the thought roaming in your mind is
Now you are complete MAN ....... lol , SINGLE & READY to MINGLE and then MUJHE GIRL FRIEND CHAHIYE ..... loll , well teens here in HYDERABAD don't go to DAD for this , LOL . I wonder WHY .......... got same plans , ASK DAD !!!!! lolz . Well if u do so you come back to stage 1 .

Hyderabad Traffic Issues
Moreover footpath is like literally vanished from roads of Hyderabad or even if it exists it has been encroached by shop owners or hawkers or with parked cars & bikes . Even on the turning where road widening has been done , new temporary shops have come up and no action is being taken by concerned authorities and in no matter of time these will turn into permanent ones.
