Technically, I went to Hyderabad for an office seminar.

Technically. 😭

I travelled with Naina, Karan and Rishabh from work, and the original plan was very professional — attend the seminar, behave like serious corporate people, have dinner and come back.

But obviously… Hyderabad aa hi gaye toh thoda ghoomna toh banta hai. 😂

The seminar took up most of the first day, and the second it ended, laptops went into bags and everyone’s personality changed completely.

We did Charminar, Old Hyderabad, proper biryani, Irani chai, random cafés and even managed Golconda before leaving.

The funniest part was watching the same people who were discussing presentations two hours earlier aggressively debate which biryani place was “actually the best.” 😭

Very productive trip, obviously.

Work got done.

And so did the sightseeing.

Favourite Memory: Leaving the seminar in proper office clothes and somehow ending up near Charminar eating biryani like that had been the agenda all along. 😂

My final verdict: Corporate trip rule #1: if the company sends you to another city, the city tour is basically unofficial employee benefits. 😭🌶️
