It was a cold winter evening...yeah..Dec end and the time was ticking around 5 PM, the time when the sun is not on our heads but on our sides waving us good bye and doing it faster than the day time !! The dark sky was beginning to spread its blanket on us while the sun is still around. A perfect time to go out on a date..huh!! We (Phani & me) along with his cousin and his cousin' dad went to the famous Hyderabad Central University (HCU) to spend an evening. And believe me it was literally a date in the lap of the nature.
HCU has a sprawling campus spreading as far as your eyes can see. It is covered with bushes and trees all around and is all green to look. The cold air emerging from the trees around on a cold winter seemed like a cold knife cutting your skin!! We had first seen the Sports Building and the ground there where we could find a lot of guys playing India's favourite sport 'Cricket' (Quite predictable..right??) Then we just galavanted the whole place exploring the canteen, the park, lake etc. Nature was at its best there.
We moved on to a beautiful lake (ofcourse it was dirty!!) The lake is actually covered by many thorns, dirty pits and grass both wet & dry. But we dint hate it as it was very natural.....this is how it would be if there is nobody to pamper the place yet it looked beautiful because it was nature at its natural best. The path to the lake was very narrow, dusty, thorny and rocky too but still was a visual treat. The place was disorganised yet had a beauty in itself. This dusty road which led to the lake had the much wanted privacy any young couple would ask for ;) !!

There were no artificial plants or man maintained lawns...it looked like as if nature was flirting with the place and leaving its mark wherever she wants and however she likes to do !! Do check out this place if you happen to be in Hyderabad to see what nature looks like when it is not 'man-handled' :P
Good write-up! Especially loved the last paragraph.
