Hi,
This was forwarded by a friend of mine.
Very interesting.
Now Hyderabadis need to tell if this is true.
Your address reads as 23-404-32/67A-43 (New MCH number 56-678/4A/B-22), while you actually live in the second house beside Zamzam Cafe in the lane behind Anand Theatre on SP Road.
You end up buying only a salwar kameez, whether it is a theatre workshop, food mela, consumer expo, designer jewellery show, science show, or an automobile convention.
Your street has at least one roadside mobile hotel that serves Chinese delicacies such as "Vegetable soft needles," "Navrotten Kurma," "Chicken Manchewurea," or "American Chompsee" besides chat and cutlet varieties.
You mingle with everyone around from whatever region he may be and make him a friend in no time.
You can speak Telugu, Hindi, Urdu (some people), and English fluently.
You are so passionate about working in another country, especially in the US; you go crazy and try very hard to get into the US.
You hang out at Necklace Road or Tank Bund at least once a week.
You have at least one Srinivas, Prasad, Raju, Rao, or Venkatesh within six square feet, or you have at least one cousin, friend, colleague, or acquaintance with these names.
You have at least one cousin, friend, colleague, or acquaintance in the US in software.
Every time somebody gives you a piece of good news, the first thing you ask them is "Party kab hain?" / "Party eppudura?"
You refer to any past as "parso," be it yesterday or long before three hundred years.
You are interested in the real estate biz and always look to buy some land or real assets.
And it doesn't matter where in the Gulf/Middle East you are leaving, you always say you are going to "Dubai." (I know of one family who still keeps telling everyone their son is in "uno Dubai mein hai" but he is physically in Yemen for the past 5 years).
You end up watching every movie you come across and end up saying, "Oh! that was good, but it could be better if it was made that way."
You look at the fixed price stand and still ask "dene ka bolo."
You eat Paradise Biryani or Bawarchi Biryani at least once a month.
You can say the typical "Light teesukora" and be cool without analyzing what the situation is.
You can hang out in an Irani cafe the whole day after ordering one cup of tea and an empty saucer for yourself and your dear friend, and you chat like that's the last day with each other.
You are reading this and secretly admitting that you are, after all, a true-blue Hyderabadi. You know one thing... Once a Hyderabadi, always a Hyderabadi...

This is 100% about HYDERABADI, and I feel proud to say we are Hyderabadies. There is one more thing. If you go to an Irani cafe with a friend, you will get one cup of tea (without asking, they will provide another empty cup) and 5 biscuits or 5 small samosas. Thanks, buddy, for the beautiful post.

Hi All,
I was born and brought up in Hyderabad, and I am proud to be a Hyderabadi. But, as decided by fate, God gave me a chance to visit Hell (Bangalore) for 12 months and I came back running.
The reality of Bangalore:
- They have only three major roads to show: Brigade Road, Airport Road, and MG Road.
- Bangaloreans talk a lot...and work less. Deve Gowda is a perfect example.
- Bangalore's potholes...oh my god...even Infy's Narayana Murthy got frustrated and decided to set up Infy's World's biggest ODC in Hyderabad with a seating capacity of 30,000. Remind you, it is bigger than Mysore.
- Bangalore, I can say, is a remix of the "Saiyan Dil Mein" song, with skimpy clothes and Shilpa Shetty-like legs.
- Bangalore Saree Houses are like showrooms...there, the salesgirls show more skin than sarees. Ha..ha..ha...
However, Hyderabad is Hyderabad, and we are all Hyderabad Nawabs at heart.
Just to inform you all that this Sunday, 10th September, we (Hyderabad HR Hungama) are meeting with around 65 CITE HR members. Can anyone touch that benchmark? If this is the response to the first meet, then just think about the next ones...
Hyderabadis are always Hyderabadis.
All Nawabs, please give your comments on my post.
All the Best.
Regards,

Hi Prabhakar,
Nice to know some more good stuff about Hyderabad.
I was born in Andhra Pradesh and brought up in Karnataka. So both are my favorites. My mother tongue is Telugu, and at the same time, I love to speak, read, and write Kannada. I have equal respect for both.
Coming to infrastructure - I agree Bangalore needs to improvise on it.
I was in Hyderabad for only 4 months and came running back to Bangalore within no time. But still, I don't say Hyderabad is "HELL."
Yes, Bangalore is a remix of all states. We are proud to invite people from all over the country and abroad here. They come to Bangalore with great hopes, so we always welcome them. Nearly 14% of Bangaloreans are Telugites, and we still respect them.
Every state has its loopholes. Even Hyderabad is not an exception. I have undergone very bad experiences in Hyderabad. In one word, I can say it is the most corrupted state.
My request is to stop pointing fingers at each other. "WE ARE INDIANS."
Who is responsible? Remember, it is again the citizens.
Now let us think about how to improvise things and make Mother India proud of her children.
Let us make our country "A HEAVEN" rather than saying it is "HELL."

Swapna

I too have had some bad experiences in Hyderabad. Bangalore is one of the best cities in India.
But I agree with Swapna that we are Indians, and we need to be proud of our own country rather than differentiating between states.

Dear Ladies Swapna and Sarita,
I really appreciate your BSNL Slogan of "One Rupee India" or One India. But it really pinches when you make mazaak of any city like posting what I had seen today.
I just came with some more data about Bangalore:
- 48% of people in Bangalore are suffering from Asthmatic problems, whereas Hyderabad is the coolest plateau - The Deccan.
- Bangalore does not have a language of its own, whereas Hyderabad does.
- Bangalore is even now called "Retirement Paradise," which means you become lazy once you are in Bangalore.
- Since you are in Bangalore, you are very well aware that during the 2004 floods, how many hours of manpower Infosys and Wipro lost when their buses, which transport their employees, could not pass through the Bangalore roads.
- Bangalore does not have any dish named after it or famous for it, whereas Hyderabad has numerous dishes like Hyderabad Biryani, Osmania Biscuit, etc.
- I used to live in Indira Nagar, which was one of the posh places in Bangalore, then in 2004, I ran back to Hyderabad.
It is very sad to hear from you that you could not live in Hyderabad for more than 4 months; that means you are suffering from Bangalore Asthma.
Telgi is also from your place, right?
Why do Bangaloreans/Kannadigas cheat people from other states and take their river water, which belongs to the people of other states?
Thank you.
