About Hyderabad:
----------------

          Hyderabad, is a city, which combines both the ancient 
and the modern. It has the most sophisticated five star hotels, 
shopping malls,  eating places (especially those serving the 
world famous Hyderabadi biryani, a dish of rice and meat) and 
entertainment facilities. Hyderabad  is highly cosmopolitan, a 
cauldron of a variety of cultures, not only because of its past 
but also because of the influx of people from all over the country 
to its institutions, research and educational, and to its various 
industries, including many high-profile technological firms. 
Hyderabad especially draws tourists to its minarets and its 
pearl bazaar.
