Today, I was sleepy.... I(My other half and Myself) did not really want to go..
I have enjoyed the beauty of Necklace Road in the evening times. Thought to enjoy the nature of the Hyderabad around the Hussain Sagar in the Morning. I had to take all my strength to get out of the bed. We took a bike to reach Necklace Road and reached there by 6.15 AM. I have seen crowd at one place. I just stopped my bike and parked at some place and reached to the crowd. I wondered to see close to 100 people all around the place.. and minimum of 30 people are in queue...I have seen group of friends, I have seen family (Father, Mother and 5 years child). and families(2 to 3 families and children).
Ohhh !!! are you also wondering, why are those people are there, as I did ?
Yeah ! you are right. Title gives you the idea, what I am talking about right ?
Yes, they came for cycling... It was exactly opposite to Sanjeevaiah park. There was a bicycle club called Hyderabad Bicycle Club in short HBC. They are the group of people, who organize the cycling events and they give cycles on rent as well on hourly basis. Everyone there, was looking for cycles on rent. I joined the queue to get two cycles. It was probably a bit too much of queue was there.. I would be a 40th member in the queue. After waiting 30 mins, I was about the 5th member in the queue, then I could here some voice(may be organizer) saying there are no cycles for now. He took the names and said there are 5 members waiting for the cycles before you and also he said that your waiting list number is 6. He has shown us the place where we could sit, so that once he get the cycles he could call us. I looked my surroundings like a detector to see what else is happening around the place. I have seen so many(may be 20 to 30) cycles are kept at corner. Looking at those cycles I got to know that they are not in working status. All the cycles are with no gears and are pretty old. May be they are not that old, that looks like. Since they are been used by random people with no care, due to which looked so old to me. I realized, few people returning the cycles. I went to ask him, if my waiting list is confirmed with my PNR number 6. He said, "I need to still wait for some more time". Some one is returning the cycles. I waited there, If I could get a chance. He called some other name and asked them to wait for couple of cycles more, since they are 4 members. I asked them that, If I could take those 2 cycles. They agreed. Hmm... at last my waiting list is got confirmed. We got a chance to ride. We took the cycles. The below is the pic that we have taken.
We started cycling. We started cycling. We took U turn and started cycling towards Jala Vihar. We reached little further on Necklace road. There is very nice place in between two roads. That is actually 4 way road. Between the roads there is nice place for 500 mtrs where we can park one bus horizontally. In that place there few people learning car driving. There are few people cycling and trying different stunts on cycles. We went ahead little further and again saw the crowd... I thought it would be some gaming place but it is actually not. It is dogs area.. I did not see much of it, But I could imagine looking at that place and the dogs and dog's owners. They were training their dogs and getting them ready for some competition may be.
There was a bike making a lot sound behind us, we could see, one driving the bike on back wheel and one stopped the bike on front wheel and he took exactly half U turn. It's just like the hero did in one film to shoot a pic of criminal..
The beauty of the Hyderabad is that it has Hussain Sagar Lake in heart of the city. Around the Lake, we have so many parks and places to hangout a day (yeah.. you can spend all the day and you may not be able to see all the places around that lake.). I really liked the place.. we went ahead and have seen people taking photo shoot. We went on cycling. People doing some exercise, cleaning the Roads. Few couples looking towards the lake and exploring their love early in the morning.. And few teenage boys are got together and were discussing on how to spend their valuable holiday time(Sunday). One kid was asking his mother to join to play with him and his sister along with his father, but she was busy in reading the news paper.. By this time we might have crossed couple of kms. then we reached Secretariat(Sachivalayam). I did not notice that though I have went through that place few times. This time it looked sooo interesting to look at.
We went on from that place and stopped for a while to see the early morning beauty of Hussain Sagar, we took few pics to keep the wonderful feelings moments for ever.
There were few photographers taking pics of the nature. Few taking the pics of their friends. I wish, I should have a DSLR too.. so that the pics would have given more value to the trip.. We did round the Hussain sagar in 40 mins. I was very happy to have such pleasant Sunday morning. We have returned the cycles to them and paid the fee.. and returned to home.
Thanks for the reading.. I will keep posting more interesting stories further... please do follow or like us on bycycle.in
