Hyderabad is brimming with cafes, South Indian and Pan Asian eateries off late. There’s a new cafe cropping up in some parts or the other. While many are just about Instagram, there are some whose focus is coffee and food. I was walking down the track at Durgam Cheruvu a …

I’m not an ardent chai or coffee person, it varies based on occasions and times. Sometimes I enjoy chai during the rain, sometimes it’s coffee. A few years ago had you asked me about either of them, I’d have had no idea. But over the years, I’ve learned a lot …
