Location: THE WESTIN HYDERABAD MINDSPACE
I HAD HEARD OF AND partly experienced Bengaluru’s unpredictable rains, but the sporadic spells of Hyderabad come as a surprise. As does superstar Allu Arjun’s enigma. Having spent a considerable time in the south of India, I am aware of the hold that film stars have over their audiences. But this seems totally different. As soon as our cover star walks in, the lobby of the hotel is filled with both excited squeals and pin-drop silence. While he makes his way to the green room, we check out our wheels partner—the Volvo XC40 Recharge, a natural choice forthecovershoot. OurAugustisuuecelebratesIndiaandthemyriadroadtrip opportunities the country offers, and what better way to explore a city sustainably than in a versatile EV?
