Welcome to Hyderabad Through My Eyes – Discover the Soul of the City with Nitesh shah

Introduction 

Hello and welcome to my blog – Hyderabad Through My Eyes.

My name is Nitesh Shah, and I’ve proudly called Hyderabad my home since 1980. Over the decades, I’ve seen this city transform from a laid-back heritage hub to a vibrant metropolis, all while holding onto its timeless charm.

This blog is a reflection of my experiences, stories, and deep-rooted connection with the city. Whether you’re a long-time resident, a newcomer, or simply someone curious about life in Hyderabad, I invite you to walk this journey with me.

Why This Blog?

There are countless guides and websites that talk about Hyderabad, but very few capture the emotions and memories tied to its streets, flavors, festivals, and people. I wanted to create a space where I can share:

Personal stories from old and new Hyderabad

Hidden gems you won’t find in typical travel guides

Reviews of local food spots – from Irani chai to Hyderabadi biryani

Historical insights and cultural traditions

Local festivals, markets, and everyday life

My Journey with Hyderabad

From sipping chai at the old cafés of Abids to watching the cityscape evolve in HITEC City, I’ve seen Hyderabad change, but its soul remains the same – warm, welcoming, and full of stories waiting to be told.

As someone who’s lived here for over four decades, I bring not just facts, but feelings – the nostalgia of walking by the Charminar at dawn, the aroma of Ramzan delicacies, and the quiet joy of exploring Tank Bund on a breezy evening.

What You Can Expect

Each post here will be a mix of memories, guides, and experiences. Whether it’s a historical dive into Hyderabad’s Nizam heritage, or a review of the best street food at Pragathi Tiffin Center – you’ll find it here.
