The Tankbund night-out

The only thing that was preplanned to what actually followed was the movie "The Dark Knight". Here is a chronological turn of events and we ended up staying all night!

5.30 pm: There we were frantic calls as nobody had an idea what the schedule was going to be.

8.30 pm: We initially went to the Seventh Heaven in Panjagutta where we kicked off with a chicken Cantonese soup and Chicken Tikka. Owing to the penchant for Chinese I suggested that we go to Peking palace in Ameerpet which serves mouth watering Chinese dishes. Moreover the fact that the food here wasn’t too great didn’t help the case either.

9.00 pm: Peking palace has the best seafood soup and is must try for any of you who adore Chinese food. After a sumptuous dinner, we suddenly got the itch to drink late at night after the movie and hence went to pick up some rum.

10.30 pm: we finally headed for IMAX. The dark knight was a brilliantly executed movie packed with a series of action scenes and powerful dialogues. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale were near perfect.

1.45 am: We headed home and started hogging upon the Snickers and Twix a friend got for us from US. After about an hour of fooling around, we got bored, tired and hungry all at the same time. So we decided to take a small trip in hunt for food at 2.30 in the night.

2.30 am: We knew a couple of places which were open at 3 in the night and on of them was a bread-omlette guy near PVR central mall. Somehow none of us felt like getting back home. So we thought we go pay the Necklace road and the lonely statues at Tankbund a visit. There were also a couple of suggestions like the shamirpet lake, gandipet lake, durgam cheruvu etc.. but finally we settled for the Tankbund

3.00 am: We sat on the wooden benches by the lake side and started discussing issues ranging from Life at USA to the Best of Hollywood. We spoke about gladiator, departed and matt demon and de caprio and the whole world. We didnt know how time passed and it was 5 before we knew it.

5.00 am: we then decided to walk the whole length of tankbund to and fro which was about 4 kms. By now we were completely exhausted due to lack of sleep and so we thought it was high time for some food again

6.00 am: we headed for Swathi Tiffins, near secunderabad railway station and had steaming hot sambar idly, dosa and a cup of coffee.

That is how we ended up roaming on hyderabad city streets, sleeping on tankbund and saw the sun rise!
