We are in Hyderabad for a week on vacation. And, apparently it is the hottest summer in Hyderabad in some years. The maximum temperatures are touching 45 degrees, and seriously it is difficult to cope with this heat., and there are 3 hours of power cuts daily. All that we have on our minds is to stay cool somehow. Nimbu paani made of lemons from our own tree,coconut water, chilled water, sweet-sour raw mango, juicy fruits, and lots of lassi are the things prime on our minds. The kids are just enjoying hanging around. There are many trees in my in-laws house — lemon, mango, drumstick, chickoo, papaya, coconut with lots of flowering plants. Gautam especially is so excited to see how fruits and vegetables are perched atop trees and not in vendors’ carts.
There are no plans to venture out in this heat anywhere. This is the first time that I have come to Hyderabad and not gone around somewhere. I can’t even say that we are chilling at home :). As you can see, my entire thought process is oriented around heat. Bangalore — I await getting back and really looking forward to the rains.
I’ve been to Hyderabad in December and the weather was lovely!!
Have a great time Rachna 🙂
Happy Vacations Rachna…me also in Delhi with my parents to enjoy the vacations..unlike ur case here two three degrees is lesser than Bhilai….so feeling grt….:-)

Happy vacation Rachna, you are lucky to enjoy the nature’s gift!! am looking forward my vacation on July:)
ur inlaws seems to have a cool place there…gr8 place to enjoy 🙂
hve a gr8 vacation,
@Agnes December is good in most parts of the country. The summer this year seems to be pretty harsh in most of India.
@rohini I am sure Delhi must be fun, and your son must be loving the pampering of nana-nani. You have a great time!
Hyderabad does have wonderful places to see and, Snow world is a good place to have fun with kids.
@Bhagyareema Except for the weather, the relaxation part is nice. Oh, wish you could get nice people to hang out with too.
@Chandrika Oh yes, the lemons, papayas, pomegranates, drumsticks, chickoos, mangoes taste extra good when you have grown them. My in-laws have put in so many years of effort to have these towering trees in the house. Really calming to sit around the trees and plants.
@Jon 🙂 Well, this coincides with the kids’ summer vacations, so all vacations have to be made at this time.
@Suffix You have a nice vacation too in July. Yes, I love the trees around me!
@Readers Dias You are right. In today’s times, it is a rarity to see such a green place with large trees.
With the kind of temp in Hydb, you will miss the Biryani.
its tough..wish we were like kids who don’t care about the heat..u forgot cucumber..thats also pretty cooling…
have a nice time and make the best out of it..
anyway what matters is not what you see by venturing out, just what you feel. and if you can manage a good sleep..thats bliss:)
Enjoy your vacation Rachana with Aal the cool stuff you’re enjoying…home-made and home-grown!!!
Delhi is reeling under the unbearable heat…thinking of going to a cooler place for few days…
oh hyderabad is burning is it? take care. have water and icecreams…and send some watermelons thru parcel to us also..how do u like the idea?
gr8 plcae ur inlaws have. where in hyd do they stay… vani i used to work in hyd…vani
I do hope your vacation is going well. With the heat I would say you have a great excuse for going out to eat!
@BKChowla Oh no. We managed to have the biryani 🙂
@wise donkey I know kids hardly get affected by the heat and the sleep bit is going great 🙂
@Gouri Thanks and you need to go to some place cooler for sure.
🙂
@Ramesh I thought you would getter better watermelons in Dubai 🙂
@Vani We are close to Bowenpally.
@Cheryl Hardly eating out. Called for takeout twice.
🙂
Welcome to the Furnace!!!
BTW in which area you are residing as there is cut for 1 hr only in the cyberabad area where we live
🙂
Have been to Hyderabad once and Bangalore too my husband’s cousins live there. Sounds like there’s an orchard in your in-laws place.
@Bhupesh Good for you! We have 2-3 hours of power cuts everyday. We are close to Bowenpally. And, aptly said, furnace 🙂
@Keats the Sunshine Girl Hey, thanks for visiting my blog. Hope to see you often. Yes, you could call it a mini orchard. The trees really bring down the temperature. Plant more trees, people.
Hi Rachna, Holy Smoke! 45’c! And we here in Summer with a 25′ or 30′ say it’s HOT!
I guess thats one place I will not have on my list of ‘to visit’ ha ha.
You stay cool, have fun, Lee.
