I woke up about 6 am and couldn't go back to sleep. So, I decided to go up to the roof of the apartment complex and watch the sunrise. Aparently I was a little too late to catch the sunrise, but I did take in the fresh air and the ... quiet of the early morning. When I looked down from the roof at the back of the building I saw a group of shacks where people apparently live. This is rather disconcerting to have such object povert living mere feet from
So today I was finally able to get out and go around the city. Jaye came and picked me up about 11 this morning and we went over to Shilparamam Crafts Village. While i didn't buy anything, I definantly found a great place to go and pick up a bunch of stuff later. mainly we just walked around and looked at everything in the park/village. apparently lots of companies hold their annual meetings in the park in one of the several open areas. ... like this one
There is a stage off to the left and additional open area where they usually have bands play and can set up tables for people to sit and mingle. This is also a great place to take pictures of High Tech City in Hyderabad. You can see in all directions. We took some good pictures. I'm going to put all the pictures up so you can see them once I get them all organized.
Off to see more of the city.
A little taste of India

Thought I'd brighten your day with a Simpson quote!!!! More to come.
your pics are great - that one depicting the "abject poverty" is really astounding; I love the single glowing electric light amidst the darkness and chaos.
