August 15, 2014
August 15th was India's Independence day. So, just like in America, this meant that most things would be shut down for the day and we would have a "day off" of interviews and hospital visits. We decided to take advantage of this by sleeping in a little later than usual and taking some time to mind map and debreif all of our information for the week. It was a nice change of pace from our busy week!
In the evening we had all planned to go out to dinner to a famous Hyderabad restaurant, Paradise. Paradise is known for there
biryani. It is a dish of rice and chicken (for the non-vegetarians) or vegetables cooked in a closed pot, or
Dum, and filled with lots of delicious spices. The biryani is served with a yogurt sauce and a chili paste sauce that are mixed in with the rice for additional flavors. We all thourougly enjoyed our meal and the biryani definitely did not disappoint!

Satisfied from our dinner, we left the restaurant and headed back towards the hotel. Some of us had considered going to see a movie following dinner, but with our full stomachs, we figured it would be better to get up and walk around then sit in a movie theater for three hours. We asked Raju to drop us off on the side of the road and we spent some time walking down the street along the water and enjoying some fresh air. A great end to our Independence Day holiday!
