Life in the City of Nizams is, to put it mildly, interesting. It varies from the frenetic pace of traffic going nowhere, to the timeless stupour of the teashops. These are accounts of my encounters with such experiences.

The Adventure of the Amazing Masala Dosa
This is a review, albeit a long meandering one in which I share my thoughts on the dosa scene in Hyderabad, of Maharaja Tiffins & Chat, which is at Haridas Market in Abids.

On a Saturday evening, we were looking for a new place to eat at. After much debate, we decided to boldly go where we had never been before, and ended up at Avasa with no idea of what kind of dining options we had.
