While we were living near the Old City of Hyderabad (the asli Hyderabad) 3 years ago, I used to take long evening walks along the busy roads of Khairatabad.
And I was frequently overhearing autowalas haggling with customers wanting to go to one of the four 'bowlis' of Hyderabad:
1. Gachi Bowli
2. Rethi Bowli
3. Putli Bowli
4. Doodh Bowli
And I was simply charmed by the sounds of these place-names. They sounded so romantic. I didn't care for their meanings and didn't want to ask lest they disappoint me...
But today I read about a fifth Bowli:
5. Engine Bowli
And that was the sad end of my romance with the Bowlis of Hyderabad.
