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.

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

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

I love the Christmas-tide, and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give!
~Carolyn Wells


Wouldn't life be worth the living
Wouldn't dreams be coming true
If we kept the Christmas spirit
All the whole year through?

John & Sophie

"I promised you Sophie,I will never ever leave you .
And tonight I am keeping my promise"

He held his grip on her. Its been 7 years....7 glorious years...though he has crossed his prime..she still appeared the same as she had looked before 7 years. Bold & Beautiful.That's what he always looked for, that's why he waited and never rushed into things.

When he saw Sophie in one of those famous magazines while waiting in the airport, he immediately booked a ticket to Germany just to catch a glimpse of her. When he finally saw her in the grand party hosted by her family,he was breathless.He kept on gazing her , her curves, the intensity in her looks, her boldness,her charisma which made her stand out of the crowd.

The next day he made his offer,an offer which took their breath away,for he was a man who would not take No for an answer.He didn't want to take any chances with her.The heritage of her family was globally known and even though his friends & family were worried that he took an hasty decision without consulting anybody,once they met her, they couldn't help but to let it go and simply stood gazing at her.

Some of them would say "Man, you are the luckiest man in this world"
He would simply smile and say "I know"

Arrogant Fools We Are

I just finished reading “Winner Stands Alone” by  Paulo Coelho. Although it was a good read,it did not leave a impact on me except for a small part.The Lead character at one point raises a question about global warming and so called Man’s cruelty towards Earth.

“How can we be so arrogant? The planet is,was and always will be stronger than us.We can’t destroy it,if we overstep the mark,the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing.Why don’t they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?”

Nasa_blue_marbleIts a valid question…isn't it? I mean we shouldn’t be worried about the earth but about ourselves,Human Race as we are collectively called. Actually the posters and banners should read “Save Mankind” (from the atrocities of Man actually) But that would be just selfish,so we try and paint a different picture and say “We Strive to save Earth”

They say the water level is rising and we are cutting down trees,so many species have become extinct etc etc..So what?, May be there will very little land or no land above the sea…may be the world as we know it will become a Water World of some sorts with underwater forests and aquatic creatures.Only thing is we may not be alive to see how the world turns out…may be millions of years later, the new intelligent species may figure out that millions of years ago,that two legged animals ruled the land..

I am not rejecting the views by scientists or activists,I am just saying may be they should convince people to save electricity and reuse & recycle as much as possible not to save Earth ,but to for our own survival.
