There are cities that stay with you, not because of what they promise, but because of what they allow you to remember. Hyderabad has always been that kind of city for me. A hometown, yes, but also a threshold, between past and present, between reporting and reflecting, between the questions I asked as a greenhorn and the ones I now ask with softer edges.I was back in Hyderabad recently, chasing not a story but a memory.
