The Traffic:

I did get a taste of the traffic a couple of times. All areas west of Banjara Hills are well planned and the traffic moves well. Once you start going east towards Hyderabad all hell breaks loose. Motorcyclists try to find any small area that they can squeeze in and the auto drivers even if they want to turn right and there is room far left they make sure to get there first and make a right later. Traffic gets to a complete stand still many times for a good 20 minutes or more and it just crawls after that. So it’s irrelevant when some one says that we are just 5 KM away. It could take you even an hour depending on the time of the day and also the direction one is going. By the way rush hour is from about 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM in most areas.
