Friends, this is my second to last Road to Hyderabad post. That means we are less than 2 weeks away from the opening of the Tech4Society event.
To be honest, it still feels very far away. There are lots of last minute arrangements and decisions to make. Long ago I naively believed I would feel like we were “almost done” by this point. Ha! At this point 10 days feels like both an incredibly long time and an incredibly short one. It will be bizarre to write this post next week when we are truly just days away.
This past week was an interesting one. I spent time cultivating relationships, drinking lots of tea and coffee and coke (my neighbor at the apartment likes to buy me cokes for some reason). I wandered around the city, I thought a lot about the details. I had my first Andhra thali and criss-crossed the city by foot and by auto.
On one hand, I can’t point to any real tangible progress that I made; on the other, I feel like it was important for me to just be here.
And the surprising thing: I really like Hyderabad. I’ve lived in India before, I’ve even lived in Southern India before but this city is far different than the last one I stayed in (Chennai).
