I’ve come a long way along with my city (Mana “Hyderabad”)

When I saw the news of Hyderabad RailMetro inaugural today, got reminded of my childhood, as a nursery kid commuted to school through a rickshaw, then an auto rickshaw while in high school, then by bus in college, later on, to a chauffeur driven car to office.

But today when my city experiences a new transport mode in the metro, I feel both excited and nostalgic.

Excited for the new mode of transport we all have been waiting for quite some time, and nostalgic about the unlimited memories I hold of the auto rickshaw rides and “autowallas”(auto drivers) of Hyderabad.

Hyderabad Metro Rail to a Hyderabadi like me is like a new family member from foreign lands 🙂 and would take some time at our end to stop being emotional about old modes of commute and jump in the new

But as the wise say, with time we need to embrace change and adapt, for change is the only constant!
