| Roads In Hyderabad | |
| Now lets talk about roads in Hyderabad. For the most part the situation in the state resembles Hyderabad. A good 20 years back I was able to go to Tank Bund from Mehidipatnam in about 10 -15 minutes in day time and in 10 minutes night time.

Each time I travel to NJ/NY from D.C on I-95 I feel like the Susquehanna river will collapse ( http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=39.578769,-76.1 07874&spn=0.059472,0.135441&t=h&z=14 ...
