Overall, I've liked hyderabad more than many places I've been in. Some disadvantages do exist though.
1. As Bimbette said, traffic. But then, it was no better in Gujjuland.
2. Food. One thing that I really miss in Hyd is the variety of food I'm used to. Everything out here is teluguised (read adding mustard seeds, udad dal and curry leaves). Plus, you don't have many choices to eat after hours except for coffee shops in star hotels.
3. The so-called laid-back attitude of people here. When I was in bombay, I used to be the poster-boy of punctuality. Damn...if I missed the 8:21 fast from Borivali by even a minute, I'd be late in office by a full 40 minutes. And here in Hyd, I've become a lazybum as I see that nobody around is punctual. And I hate waiting more than anything else on this planet.
But as I said, overall, this is one of the best places one can be in India.
