It was 12.25pm on hot summer day in Bangalore.
“I will have a Lychee chill”
DJ was in CCD in Forum Mall.
“anything to eat sir”
He usually goes to Kalmane Koffee when he goes to Forum.
“hmm..u have anything sweet?”
“of course, would u like a muffin?”
“nah that won’t be chocolaty enough”
“pardon sir?”
But this wasn’t an usual day.

10 things I learned in Hyderabad

Recently I went to Hyderabad and these are the 10 most important things I learned which I think everyone who is going to Hyderabad should know, but seldom told.
So here goes
  1. People say biryani at least 5 times a day
  2. Biryani is available for breakfast,lunch & dinner – 24/7
  3. People eat biryani at least once a day..unless they are dead
  4. People don't say lets meet for lunch or dinner, they say lets have a biryani together image
  5. Not being a hungry is not an acceptable excuse for not having biryani
  6. Its rude to even ask what's so special about biryani.(caution,u may face physical danger)
  7. Impressing a local girl requires extensive knowledge about availability of biryani, capacity to eat more biryani than her and of course ability to afford it.
  8. Its never a pretty sight to see a girl dunk a whole biryani by herself ,no matter how pretty she is (solution-look at your biryani & eat)
  9. Any biryani is best as long as it is made in Hyderabad
  10. BIRYANI.

“Good Morning Sir calling From Spark technologies DJ here……..later sir? sure i will call later”
(regional racism)
“DJ can you get this call.Its one of ur ppl”
(airhead colleagues)
“DJ I haven't got ur mail …

(bad joking obnoxious boss)
“Sir,ur coffee

(cost cutting )
“wat?? no bonus this festival???” 
(sour grapevine)
“did u hear? they broke up. no no that was last week now they are living together
(recession )
“did u hear ?? 2 of the big 3 are downsizing

……………………………………………………
12.30 am   
“ eeegggggggghuuuuuuuffffffffeeennnnnnnnmmmmmmmm”
DJ was  stretching his arms as far as possible,slowly rotated his sprained neck, trying to relax himself..still 8 pages to go in the report. He couldn’t  look at the screen anymore. He got up and started to walk around the hall.

"Oh no...not again"
DJ's irritation was so radioactive .that even a lizard nearby would have become Mozilla..err...Godzilla. He ran the network troubleshooting wizard again, but it was still showing no internet access.
"Troubleshooting wizard could not identify any problems"
DJ suddenly in his imagination became Quick Gun Murugan wearing yellow coat and green trousers with fringes & a cowboy hat. He could see modems branded "Trouble” hanging on wires in a distance .He took out both his revolvers and started shooting them A la' matrix time slice. After the first round, he blew the smoke from the guns and said
"Ennada Rascalas, I am the ultimate Trouble Shooter.... Nan nenacha...."
His dialogue was interrupted ..........DG Calling...........
DJ decided to cut the scene short and simply said "Mind It" and picked up the call
