Everytime I go to Hyderabad, I salute that ancestor in the 1800's who walked all the way from my distant dusty village to this strange city to make some kind of a living.
He was atleast spared the silly traffic, and humongous malls; walkers, beware!
A longer post later.

I wonder who took longer... those who arrived on foot, or the drivers sitting in today's parking lot of traffic;)
wow!! that must have been some walk, eh?!!! I owuld have liked to do that myself..

You must have a fondest for this ancestor indeed. I believe this is twice now since I have known you that you have mentioned him.
You know it is funny, an article here in the daily newspaper once called Hyderabad "a suburb of Bangalore"! ha,ha,ha
They really s should have taken the time to look at a map of India.:>
-P
crusty thanks thanks so much for checking and being there. Yes, though I barely know the lineage between, this is one name I will never forget, he put spunk in the family.
portia- we should do a survey!
mystic- all the way from central gujarat- dusty tracks most of the way, maybe he had no clue where he was headed, who knows. Yup, thy town.
proxima-yes, that wild west adventure streak that I do not so much display, envy admire that.
That's an "ah merrricans" statement all right.
Oops Aust... How did I forget... Belated happy returns of the day? Kya kiya birthday ko? Hyderabad?
