Change of State 2 (Sync of Culture)

'Hariiiiii get up', Bhaskar said.
It was some thousand-th time that he called my name to wake me up, before I heard it. I was totally tired and exhauated. It was 9am, and whole of the hostel and its people were in buzz. It was altogether a different mixup and turn around's seen literally. I got my eyes cleared, took my mobile, saw the display wallpaper on it and got that little and most obvious smile on my face that created or may be nourished my day ahead. That pic had always been there since when I got my first image reading mobile _ Nokia Asha 200. It has never ever stopped me from believing in miracles and has been an impossible dream since I saw that pic in life for first time in real.
I am pretty sure, all you readers are madly in doubt about the pic and curious to high degree. I wanna reply to you by saying that its about something that cannot be studied by science or calculated by mathematical equations; Liebe...
'9.30 am the breakfast will be over,' Bhaskar said
I brushed up fast, cleaned my new plate and rushed to the mess that was on the top floor running avoiding the lift that is too slow.
I got that first breakfast made in hostel, and that was enough to appreciate mom's cook.
It was tough to bite that round dosa, but my teeth managed to win the struggle.
Round the clock, nothing to do and I thought of going out. It was Charminar which came into my mind all of a sudden. My roommate Salman insisted to visit Salal Jung Museum near to it. I bought a cap to protect from the deadly sun and started my travel for the day. It was not far, but the high class traffic persisting in the city took 45min to take us 10 km. And I was in front of the great Salal Jung Museum which protects and exhibits a large wave of architectural beauties and history that created the city. There is one special thing among those versatile old belongings which attracted a huge amount of crowd; Musical Clock (English Bracket Clock). The clock contains a mechanism by which a small toy figure of bearded man comes out from the enclosure 3 min early to every hour and strike the corresponding hours on the gong to end of every 60th minute and goes back inside(in pics below). And it was entirely a flow over through history. Lots of school students were on for educational tour and other tourists too were there.
I walked on to Charminar after having the most famous Hyderabadi Chicken Biriyani. It was visible from the far end of the road that takes you straight to 'The Great Charminar of Hyderabad'. It was completely filled with a huge amount street vendors as it attracted a huge amount of people there, it was mesmerising to see the crowd, bargaining. It was completely busy area and everyone were doing there business. I was finding myself alone in that big crowd. But Charminar had a big story behind it, which you would come to know if you visit the most famous digital laser show at Lumbini Park, NTR gardens road (will tell in my coming episodes). There was a Royal Hindu- Muslim love marriage that took place in Hyderabad, before it was named so, which is very historic and the base for the city. Accordingly, King Qutb shah constructed the Charminar in the year 1589, on the very spot where he first glimpsed his future queen Bhagmati and after her conversion to Islam, Qutb Shah renamed the city as "Hyderabad". Charminar is said to be in the heart of the city and was a place to observe the activities of the city all the way through. It is obvious that every person coming to Hyderabad surely visits this place.
I reached back my hostel @6pm...
And so were my days of sync with the culture of people here. I am more like a Hyderabadi with every other day passing by.
