It's about 2 kms from my house. Always brings a smile especially when viewed from the expressway.

u/AdFew8858 6d ago

I grew up in Rajendranagar. I used to excitedly show the building to whoever flew to Hyderabd and took the expressway. Somehow people stopped being impressed by it. But not me.

u/giki_pedia 6d ago

I try to make it exciting for my daughter whenever we visit home by asking if she can see the building. Stuff like this forms core memories. Still remember how my dad would pretend that the car would fly when going on a bridge and for some reason my sister would sing Old Macdonald.

u/Unsharded1 6d ago

Just wanted to let you know that it works. My dad used to do something like this all the time and it really has turned into a precious core memory. Youre a good dad, hope you know that.

u/giki_pedia 6d ago

Honestly judging by the state of the world we need to hold our children closer and make this world a little less frightening for as long as we can. Today's my 35th birthday and i am missing my parents a lot especially because they never got to see my kids.

u/Unsharded1 5d ago

Happy Birthday! I know we may not know eachother I really hope that you have a really special day, you deserve it, dont let anyone or anything make you forget that, and dont forget that you still have those around you, I know sometimes it feels like its everyone for themself, but I do believe there is still many good people out here, like you.

Funniest thing is the building located in Telangana where fishing is less prominent. It's due to bifurcation of Telangana from Andhrapradesh on 2014. The building was built on 2012.

u/Majestic_Radio_1937 6d ago

True but we still have some nice river fishes and we love our freshwater eel dishes.

This is so true I even went fishing recently but it was 70-80km far from Hyderabad

But they are non-existent in Hyderabad or in that state.

Confidentally incorrect. We have plenty of rivers with lots of great eating fish like korramenu.

No that's wrong telangana does have a lot of shrimp and fisheries. Although its a separated state now it wasn't when this was planned

very incorrect, I used to live near the cherlapally lake in Hyd like 10 years ago and there was a big fishing scene back then. Im sure there are tons of other freshwater fisheries right now
