19th January was spent with the host families. It was a day post our return from the Srisailam forest reserve, so we all slept in a little late, exhausted from all the tiring activities along with lack of sleep. Everybody had a wonderful day in the city with their host families while sight seeing, shopping, etc.
Each family chose to take their guest to see the city's monumental sites, shopping at exhibitions or just regular malls according to their own interests. Our buddies were thrilled to see the historical monuments of Golconda Fort, Charminar and the Salarjung Museum of the Nizams of Hyderabad. They appreciated the ancient architectural style of the monuments. They were excited about shopping at local markets and in this way learnt about the daily life of a Hyderabadi. They tried interacting with the local vendors and artisans. Last but not the least, they were happy to enjoy the street food and coconut water. They evinced a keen interest in helping in the kitchen so as to learn the Indian style of cooking.
