TEJDEEP KAUR MENON, 52, Additional Director General of Police, Andhra Pradesh Police, and poetess

I love the spirit of Hyderabad. It feels wonderfully alive. Bonalu gets over and its time for Eid or Ganesh Chaturti. And during Diwali time, it's nothing short of being magical; whether you see the city from Chowmahalla Palace or Banjara Hills. Another magical feature of course is the Hussainsagar Lake. Hyderabad is one of the few cities with a lake right in the heart of the city. The Hyderabad of my childhood has grown from a seed to a huge banyan tree.
