You are reading this and secretly admitting that you are, after
all, a true blue Hyderabadi [J] You know one thing..... Once a
Hyderabadi, always a Hyderbadi



going the other way round as a hyderabadi ishtyle.
point no 21- reminds me of how we narrowly missed an accident on the highway...credits to my mom who showed her hands to stop the lorry driver and navigate the car out

no 16- no gammends... almost all south indians face this.

no 15 my dad always says that a mumbaiyya bechne wala and hyderabadi khareedne wala make a sure disaster for the bargaining a hyderabadi does. reminds of a friend who bargained a commodity quoted for 40 bucks as 21 rupees... (21????)


no 12 i dont have a boss, but we name some pecking pals the same

no 9 getting so used to asking this question, when i gotscared i will be asked teh same thing, hyderabadi funda..i d say " kabki bolo.. aa jaathi main"

no 8 and no 7 very significant and typical.
atleast one reddy is found at a closer circumfrence.

the tea after caramel custard has fortunately not happened to me. but folks here die for a irani hotel "one by two chaai" with irani samosa.

speaking about aam ka chaar... i used to call up my friend at 6 in the morning and ask her to get aam ka achar to college coz my mom wud have decided to pack curd rice for lunch
