Trip to Hampi
Here is the essense of how my travel guide book describes most large Indian cities: "A noisy, congested metropolitan that is a convenient stopover point one the way to better places...". Not a very nice description... but after a trip to Hampi I understand their point of view a little better. Check out the picture -after all, our opinion of places depends on other places we have seen!
Hampi was a capital of an ancient Hindu kingdom in southern India. Right now it is a village with castle ruins and many many temples, set in the middle of a beautiful landscape... mountains of boulders and banana plantations. That was my best weekend in India so far!

Try visiting Nagarjuna Sagar and the near by places which are 4-5 hours drive... Some beautiful waterfalls....
This is summer season, with temperature going up to 38 Deg C, so you might want to conserve your energy by starting early, which actually helps in beating the traffic too. And welcome to India. Not as beautiful as Canada, I know, But I hope this would not be all that a bad experience as well. :)
Anoop.
Guess the comments section disliked my comment... its not showing up... or is it also a joke like ICICI one? ;)

ICICI bank truly is a joke
