A few of these inflatable mascots danced in the wind of passing traffic by a mall at a busy double-layered intersection. Hyderabad Central is a multistory mall thronging with aggressive people out to nab the best deals and to lay hold of the 'Happiness Sale'.
Auto-rickshaws are one of the major mode of transports here. A sizable amount of auto drivers waited by the busy malls as security guards tirelessly tried to chase them away with sticks unlike those used to discipline errant schoolboys.
Neither the crowd nor the traffic ease as night falls.
We took autos to rendezvous with some colleagues 20 minutes away.
The place was called 'Celebration' and a little girl, 1 year of age was celebrating her birthday. A poster thrice her height hung on the entrance as her elder friends and relatives sat in a circle.
Thank you Samik and Sita for suggesting the place and meeting us there. The north Indian food was lovely and the visiting folk musician played some of the most hauntingly beautiful song that I have heard. He was but a man, but it sounded as if he had a full band. I wasn't quite sure if he is a Bhopa (or priest singers) but he definitely performed some contemporary Bollywood songs on our hosts' request.
