It was one of those days when by choice or without an choice i had to spend time wid my self...
been a satrday morning i woke up to a rather warm morning...was ecpecting cluds n rains( sala poora hafta( working days) cloudy tha..aur jis din mausam ka maza lena tha clouds gayab:(
till about past afternoon i was home and was almst done with all chores...and then suddenly got the feeling i need to go out and explore..
some how Durgam cheruvu stuck on the first go..and i decided to explore this "secret lake"...
have seen it from far " N " number of times on my way to an back from Hitech City..but never really explored it to fullest...
after getting an hint on the route to reach the place..i decided to carry the cams and proceed...
This lake has two different entrances from each bank of the lake...
one from the jublee hills side and the other across the ilabs road...
I decided to explore the lake from top...hence I took the road wwhich leads from Madhavpur side...
After driving for a while in an pursuit to find the place my self..i had to finally ask few on lookers...
with their directional help i fianally reached the main entrence where i had to parl my car and walk inside..
The parking fee: Four Wheelers: Rs. 15/- and Two wheelers: Rs.10/- and entry fee for Adults into the park: rs 30/-
I parked my car and decided to take the cams and unaware of the fact that they wudnt allow them reached the gate where i was asked to open up my bag...
To be frank i was unware that the cameras wudnt be allowed and as such there was no where mentioned about such restrictions...
I dint want to argue today as i wanted to keep a cool head and not loose my temper:)
was dissapointed for the fact that i will not be able to capture the place:(
I shudnt have carried the bag..and instead shud have carried only the digi cam in my poket..
i realised this a bit late though...but was jeleaous of the people who had managed to sneak in their cameras inside..
As i entered and reached at the edge of the open place..it was amazing...
truely the name was an synonm " Secret Lake"....u wudnt know there is a lake that exists in the heart of the city untill u come here..
The place was great! neatly managed..but i guess shudnt have come alone to get tht strange looks at times:) (...mostly the visitors were couples:)
I spend some qaulity time wid my self at one corner...the view was amazing! with a lovely breeze accompanying it..
" do they really care about us? was the one liner tht frequented my mind...I was here to find peace within my self...why? why do we rely on others to make ourselves happy? why do we become weak expecting love from the person who perhaps dint even care about you? why do we ignore those who love us instead? cruel thing huh? what about the pain?
anyways..
I really liked the place and decided would come back for sure...the beautiful rocks....lovely lake.. water..made me fresh!
as such i was feeling itchy about the fact that i was unable to capture the lovely sight..hence i decided to fulfill my desire by going to the other side of the lake and taking some snaps..
I then drove towards Hitech City and took the road towards iLabs after crossing Cyber towers...
I reached place where there was a junction and decided to halt as i was getting a good view of the lake from there..
I could see the lake on the other side of the road...and also at the far end the same spot where i was standing an hour back...
After spending about half n haour...i drove towards the road that lead to outskirts of Hyderabad...
One thing was sure...I was sad...sad for the fact that these places were under threat.
Threat from constructions!...The natural "Rocks" of hyderabad were being blown away by explosives and were paving the way for High rises...
The so called " Protected" rockes were no longer protected..
I wish these were preserved and they remain as soothing as sight as ever..
