Hyderabad, otherwise known as the city of pearls, is often overlooked in the Indian skyline of famous cities. With one of the richest histories and multicultural population, Hyderabad makes one of the most unique conglomerations of people and traditions. Like any Indian metropolis, one of the major inconveniences regarding moving to such a city is the ever present crowd and traffic. Housing some of most popular and important companies in the IT scene, the city is fast-paced and busy. However, it is well contrasted with it’s slower, more passive side commonly known as the ‘old city’, that houses the city’s most precious monuments and sites, a safe distance from hurried live run by the rapidly evolving technology. For a new resident, the city proves a comfortable place in terms of varied languages, cuisines, easy public transport and reasonable real estate. The only real downside if any, would be falling in love with the city and lifestyle and not being able to leave.
