on my own here i go once again.

i don't intend to hurt or offend anybody by the contents.

You have to be a real hyderabadi or have a strong bond with Hyderabad’s culture to actually relate to and understand the following:


Here it goes.........


So who really is a real hyderabadi???

He is someone who never hesitates using phrases like “baigan ke baal”, “maa ki kirkiri” et al.
He/ She is someone whose no sentence is complete without words like “nakko, hao, kaiku, nai,katey, hallu,kidhar” to mention a few.

Most of the Hyderabadi youth go to bed at around 2 am in the morning and would wake up only after the clock strikes 9.

They drink singal chaai what is called pauna almost half a dozen times a day with some usmania biscuit or bun or fine biscuit. Once out of the café a cigarette or a paan seems mandatory.

Rice is the staple food for all hyderabadiz, moreover hyderabadis will die if they don’t get to eat rice atleast once a day. “Chaaval khaaye tak khana khaaye jaisa nai dikhta ustaad” is a common sentence of grief. No meal is a good meal if its not one of the following. Dum ki biryani, nahari, marag, haleem, tamtaon ka sherva, khaattti daal, khorma,dhai ki kadi, aloo methi kheema, bagara khaana dalcha, mirchi bhajiye, khurbaani ka mittha, kaddu ki kheer etc etc… No other cuisine is accepted, though the some of the Arabic junk food dishes like shawarma, filaafil, khabsa laham etcc are soon gaining popularity thanks to the enormous presence of hyderabdis in middle east and the arab students in hyderabad.

The youngistaan of Hyderabad has both bad shouq(hobbies) and bad zouqh(taste). For them a dual visit to places like Alhamdulillah, prince, 4 seasons, shehran, Victoria etc is a must. They feast on many of the junk dishes available and chai acts like an appetizer. Each one of them is a dude who compares his style quotient with the like of Shahrukh, Hrithik, Salman, Govinda etc. Also there is a gigantic fan following of Salman Khan especially amongst the old city folks. If they are not going to the eateries, they can be found near any girls college or a billiards café, or at necklace road/KBR park pulling some stunts or they’ll go to IMAX or GVK or city centre for bird watching with flashy clothes and cool sun glasses and in-style mobile phones with loud speakers and receive every glance with utmost respect as if it was in appraisal. When they are not doing any of the above they’ll just chat on the internet with total strangers or wander around in the markets and streets aimlessly. They have no aim in life (most of em) and all they desire is to be an engineer or a doctor or an MBA. Getting a US visa would be dream and a Saudi visa is considered a blessing. They earn by themselves nothing yet think that it is their right to splurge their parent’s hard earned money on fruitless purposes.

Like anywhere else in the world the fairer sex of Hyderabad is not far behind. If they are not studying at St. Anns or Villa Marie or St.Francis their career is ruined. Shadan is an absolute compromise. HIjaab for these college going hippy gals is a fashion commodity not a religious obligation. They could be seen draped in veils of various styles, colors , fabrics and yeah bling or frills is considered chic. (CORRECT ME SOMEONE IF I SOUND INCORRECT). For those girls who stay in old city , Stanley and Islamia degree college are the only options. Begum’s beauty parlor is on everybody’s hit list of favorite spots. They are like fish out of water if they are not attending any kind of tutorials. They are constantly in a race to perform better. No, not academically. I mean in terms of fashion. A dress once worn for an occasion shall never ever be seen again. Every young lady is obsessed with bollywood and its songs and yes all the saas bahu sagas are a hit with them and a favorite pass time.

The young Hyderabadi’s always enjoy a discreet desire when they chat about their respect bf’s or gf’s. Guys follow the notion ‘hasi toh phasi’. If at any super mall or at an eatery if a girl glances some ‘dude’ she becomes his girl friend and a topic for discussion with his peers. The girls are no angels on the other hand. They never miss no opportunity to grab attention and have a clever knack of getting their tasks done through their male counterparts by a mere smile.

When at a marriage party, the decision of attending or not depends on how sound the invitees are financially. Nobody is interested in wasting the money on fuel if the menu is presumed to be of sub standard nature. The groom despite taking the dowry would deny it ,saying “sab badey logaan baat karliyeh sheikh mai toh nakko bola tha!”. At the function everybosy greets everyother person with an active ear to hear what they came for i.e. “aaiyeh”. When called for the dinner every body leaps like a hungry dog reserving the tables and chairs within their reach. Every other dish is demanded as if they are the owners and as if it were their own hotel. Once done with the dinner everybody looks for a quick escape and on return, a cool drink with a paan or cigarette is a must. It is justified by saying “Bhook khulti aur haazima hota yaaro”.

Every household follows the dress codes with precision. SHERWANI for marriage and SUIT (BLAZER) for the reception or what they call it? VALIMA DINNER? They wear it as if they would be barred from entering if they wear any thing else. The groom never arrives on time and takes pride in coming late. If in case he arrives the bride or the qazi sahab would get late.

There is a whole lot to say and discuss, when it comes to Hyderabad and its nawaabi people. I know that the entire community doesn’t behave in the manner I discussed but a handsome majority does. I would also like to acknowledge the hyderabadi guys and gals as hardworking but only when they realize the ugly truths of life and would leave you all by some observations and interactions one sees and hears on the streets of Hyderabad day in and day out.


1. When someone tries to correct these folks by morals and stuff the evergreen answer would be ; ‘khaali peeli dimaag kharaab karra saala’

2. When someone tries to be street smart ; ‘dhedh hushaar hai saala’

3. Whenever an address is asked, the elaborate answer comes as ; “who saamme joh paan ka dabba dikhra naa, uske baazu ki galli me jaao, thodi dur pe ek ghosh ki dukaan rahti waan se I right lelo, who galli me chutha makaan hai dekhiyeh, laal darwaaza rahta aur peeli colr ki badi gate rahti: woich hai”

4. Calls heard early in the morning: ‘Cheetey waaley mauz ’ ; ‘koheer ka adrak lahsan’ ; ‘pyaaz, das rupe me 3 kilo’; ‘har ek maal waala’ etc etc.

5. Behind every other auto you’ll find “maa ki dua”.

6. When a kid is found playing in the streets during school hours, a passer by yells : “kya hai re school nai jaakey gotiyaan khelraa?, their beta terey baawa ku boltun sham me”.

7. The kid won’t be frightened, he’d reply: “jaao ji jaao kisku daraarey, apnaa kaam dekho”
