My Home Town



Hyderabad city map
 

Hyderabad is the fourth largest city in Pakistan and the second largest city of Sindh (province). Hyderabad is a small city but has many things that people love. There are historical places which people come from other countries and visit. In Pakistan every city has its own famous thing and in my city the most popular thing is embroideries and bangles. Everyone loves to buy embroidered textile.

Cake

Hyderabad is known as a city of winds in the night time. It's famous for cool breezes. The season in my city is mostly summer, the temperature remains 80 to 95 F for nine months and the rest three months is winter. Another famous thing in Hyderabad is cake which is called “Bombay bakery cake”. People come from very distant places to have it and they also buy these cakes for their loved one. This is one thing that I really crave for every time I go to Hyderabad I always have the cake and the flavor I like most is chocolate because chocolate cake is the most famous cake of “Bombay bakery”.



The Sindh Museum Portraits

I was born in Hyderabad and I spent half of my life there. I have lots of unforgettable memories which I will never forget. Although there are so many places in Hyderabad that I love, one place which I love the most in Hyderabad is “The Sindh Museum”. It has very interesting collection of depiction of the traditional and tribal life of Sindh. These portraits are worth seeing.



River Indus

One of the longest rivers in Pakistan is called “River Indus”. This river crosses Hyderabad and at sunset I like to go and spend my time on the river bank with my friends. It refreshes my soul. One interesting thing about Hyderabad is that it has a bazaar called "Shahi Bazaar”. It is known to be “Asia's Longest Bazaar”. I used to go there for shopping and it takes a whole day to just visit that bazaar.



Hyderabad Train Station

Although I have a car, I also like traveling on the train and Hyderabad Railways is a major junction of Pakistan railways and it connects all the major cities with Hyderabad through its railway system. Whenever I take the rail I get to enjoy the beautiful sceneries on my way. I always miss that rail journey which I did with my friends.

The education system in Hyderabad is quite extensive. There are big universities in Hyderabad, numerous colleges and schools. I did my schooling in Hyderabad from a private school to tenth grade. The friends I made in school are still in contact with me, oftentimes we talk about school life and remember those golden days and laugh for several hours together.

My hometown is very far from where I am now but the memories of it are always with me.
