Shilparamam bustles with activity today though you'll need to brave the cold. It's the same with the book fair and RFC. The best exception is, of course, Absolute Barbeque, but everything in between rocks, too.
Meat specials, Christmas treats, grills, baked delights, street food, global to hyper-local cuisine... it's not a good time to be a vegetarian, on a diet, on a fast or an ascetic.
Rajeswari Sainath takes stage this evening, and if you suspect a massive scrum, Shilparamam makes for a good plan B. Also among notables: the Hyderabad Book Fair, the Crafts Mela, a TJS exhibition and more.
Any event at Taramati Baradari is good news, and this week's no exception. Also performing are Diljit Dosanjh, Anita Singhvi, Ustad Irfan Khan, Debapriya Samanwaya, Ashok Gurjale and more.
The Hyderabad Book Fair kicks off (yes, many people still read), and all the dance, comedy and theatre will have the culterati on a high. Plus, lots of shopping specials, food festivals, sports and art.
A classical dance festival kicks off, Abhignana Shakuntalam gets the Nishumbita treatment, a Russian ballet caters to those seeking a more international experience. Also, plenty of shopping, food and art specials.
Darpan, Nishumbita, Rangdhara and Samahaara all have acts lined up this week, and Jeeveshu Ahluwalia and Daniel Fernandes among others trivialize all the, um, drama in your life.
Sizzler, barbeque and global street food specials form a celebration of Western cuisine this week, and Christmas menus are determinedly taking over. Our picks for the best in food festivals this week.
