(Prasanth K.Snigtha)
It’s been
one month since I came to Hyderabad. Everyday thousands of people come here for
work but a few only will grow love on this city and get life. Hyderabad is the
best example for our national theme “Unity in Diversity”, where people from
various ethnic traditions and regions live.
One of my
first Hyderabad Friends, who is struggling survive in Pune, told me “Anyone can
come and live in Hyderabad but no Hyderabadi can go out and survive”.
I realized
that it is true in a few days.
The first noticeable thing in
Hyderabad is Language of people. It is
like a mix of Urdu, Hindi and Telugu and is known as Dakkani. Without having
notion of those words it would be typical to seem as Hyderabadi. Here are a few
words.
Hau-Ha,
Kayku- Kyum, Nakko- No thaks, Kya miya- What’s up dude, Hallu Hallu- Slowly,Potta-boy,Potti-girl…etc.
One common thing that bothers Mr.Mercedes as
well as cyclewala is the traffic in city. Some people find MMTS as solution to
this traffic jam but that only covers a few areas in city but the low charges prompt
passengers to choose MMTS.
The city is fond of food. There are myriad number of Restaurants, Sweet shops in the city. The specialty is even middle
class also have abundant choice of eateries. Hyderabad’s own dishes are Dum
Biryani (Bawarchi is famous) and Haleem(Famous restaurant is Pista House). Both
are tasteful but whole city wait for Ramzan season to eat Haleem. Hyderabad
biryani is good for those who eat it once a while but for those who are
familiar to biryani , Hyderabad biryani may not please them. But it is
disgusting when a cafewala gives you a plate of noodles while chewing Paan( A
tobacco stuff). One drink that has same and good taste all over the city is
Tea. It’s must take drink here.
Which human animal doesn’t like
shopping??
Hyderabad
has special shopping facilities exclusively for Ladies. Metro, Hyderabad
Central,City Center...etc. have set a brand value in the city and placec for
all consumer goods. If one thinks those are for wealthy people, there is KOTI
for all where everything is available from blade to sandals at lower price.
Sunday markets at Erragadda and Abids are famous for duplicate branded good.
On the road, you come across many SBVs(Secret
Behind the Veil). Almost 70% of the Ladies are selfish who enjoy seeing
everything but show their eyes only. It becomes a fashion for every girl to
wear Veil and the business of veils also is in good form.
I have to give a synonym to Ameerpet. It is a
“Jatara” (Celebration). Thousands of professional grads daily come here to
learn Computer and Tech courses. The common words one hears there are “Naresh
Tech is good for .Net, Peers tech is good for Oracle, Satya Tech is good for
Java..Etc.”. Students from various places in India come Hyderabad in the name
of IT, Civil Services, GATE.Life means running here.
An Important information for people new to Hyderabad is,if it is
raining in Hyderabad, one should stop at where he is, even if he is on the
bike. Even God doesn’t know where the bloody Man Hole is. Such a drainage
system is there in Hyderabad.
People seem
not worrying about these issues. If you worry, they say ‘Kaiku pareshan Miya,
Light le mamu’(Why are you sad dude, take it easy}.
IT hub in Hitech city, Gachibowli
and Buildings in Jublihills may be the pride of Andhra Pradesh. At the same time to hard up muslim ladies in Old city, Beggars, Poor Drainage system are the proofs
of negligence and social discrimination.
People are still happy in the midst of those
entire problems. You know why??
Since, Hyderabad
is their Love.
