Neither North nor South - confused culture Hyderabadi cultur

[sri]

in recent months I have been in this twin city .I still cant understand in which culture you twin city people are interested.Be frank dont give heroic statements.You know I like the simplicity.But I am angry that you people are acting different from other parts of Andhra pradesh.

[hiall]

will be pleased if u clarify...whats the difference between north and south indians....and how do u think ppl r behaving differently in andhra pradesh...?????

[raghu]

first of all can you pls let me know.. what differences you have found..... i think it will make much more sense if u point out things....

[pavan]

you r the confused person and not the hyderabadi culture...
this is one place in india.. where u can find people from all regions.... it really reflects the true culture of india.

[sri]

first of all i want to know the language which you people prefer. I observe that the hindi spoken by you can never match with the original one. still you people talk abnormal hindi continuously. leave it even telugu you people try to avoid or acting as if to avoid.I am a person moving all parts of the country and seeing things practically.why you people have the false prestige of speaking false hindi.
then come to the point of English.i can never see the enthusiasm among hyderabadi youngsters to use English as medium of communication. Pl note any upcoming metro should encourage the international language.

then comes the food i can hardly find any common place where traditional vegetarian andhra food is served.I had run around to star restaurents like tajtristar to get andhra food that too in food festivals.This means you people forgetting the basic food habits also.you know hyderabad city is developed by using the tax money paid by all people of the state.then comes the Biriyani after so much searches in net pages i went to the restaurent Bavarchi at rtc cross roads. there the biriyani rice was almost not boiled at all. I discussed with the manager he then promised me another plate of biriyani.Alas that too very dry rice.he finally told me that biriyani here is like this only. I dont think hyderabad is in stone ages eating dry rice.Then every where chat bunder serving useless items like paav baaji and paani poori which are of external unwnted items.How come you people got this habit.is it artificial or related with your taste buds?

though we have to get the benifits from the center we should not forget the regional values.OK??

in this net section one person called mama is praising the preindependant rule this tells the old mentality of this part of the country it seems he dont want independandance itself.

dear hyderabadis come out and be modern

Hi Sri,

I appretiate your gallant display of ignorense.

People of hyderabad speak deccani urdu and not hindi. If you take it as hindi, it is your problem.
As of english, youth of hyd do speak good english. Let us, for the sake of argument take your point that they do not use english to communicate,(which is ofcourse not true) this does not anyway suggest that they do not know english. How can you jump to conclusions? Have a little introspection!

Andhra food, I am very positive that you searched in your back yard for a hotel serving andhra food. Come on dude, there are restaurnats around the corner which provide you andhra food. To name a few, Southren Spice, Costal Spice, Malgudi etc etc. and if you want to have it for a little lower price, Abhiruchi is a better place, there is also swathi, pennar and many more. Last and not the least, ameerpet and SR Nagar are packed with andhra messes. Do u cover your eyes while going out ? By the way, who said andhra food is basic food ?

Biryani, probably you are the only guy who dosent like hyderabadi biryani on the face of this earth, apart from some tribals from deep southren africa. If your taste buds are poor, again, thats your problem.

I have a question for you, what do u eat when u stroll out in the eve just by road side, do u prefer steaks,lasagna,falafil, gyros or pav bhaji, pani poori, samosa, mirchi etc ? Dude, from which part of India are you who says pav bhaji and panipoori are external, they are very much Indian.


Now, \'mama is praising the preindependant rule\' I did not see his writings so, no commenst from my side.

[raghu]

Dear Mustang,
excellent answer... you have covered almost everything and i am very happy that you have drafted your comments as a true hyderabadi... hats off..

[sri]

dear musthang thanks for your comments first of all i want to say that southern part of africa is now a days more rich and more modern than the pre-independant hyderabad i am sure have you gone to botswana and other African countries? which i am sure 100%more modern and disciplined than your charminar city. Internet can be watched by millions of people around the world.so unnecessarily dont insult the southern african countries. I never raised the african question.my aim is hyderabad should be more modern in the map of the world not in the map of deccan. my original question is why should you people speak in deccani urdu which is highly local type why not english or telugu ENGLISH I AM TELLING because of the high tech city announcement.regarding the chat pavbaaji paani poori and all i have no grudges. but i want the traditional andhra food also to available in the road sides.i am basically from bangalore and presently living in chennai.for mamas comments please see the fullhyderabad netpage No1
bi for now please be a glbal thinker not a local deccani thinker.

[sri]

this is only a question .but i strongly beleive that hyderabad/secunderabad twin city is definitely south indian only .the problom is littlebit surprise for new outsiders like me. you know it is like Boris becker playing cricket for India and Kapildev playing tennis for germany. the surprise is the hyderabadi south indians (by look and politeness) behaving differently in some accounts .this is the basic idea behind creating this page.i appreciating you peoples politeness and the way of inviting and respecting outsiders which is not seen in other indian cities. if hyderabad becomes still more modern it will become No1 city in India.

[sri]

dear mustang I am sure English is not widely used as compared to other southern metroes like bangalore and chennai.my aim is you should come out from local deccani urdu and go for English which is definitely language of the world and definitely the language for food also.

[seetharam]

It is damn surprising to hear from a person who is from chennai to comment on Beautiful Hyderabad. Chennaites are generally accepted as the Most conservative people in India. I am from Hyderabad and proud to be One. And the argument about English speaking people of Hyderabad, My friend from Chennai needs to be given some statistics, \"The maximum number of people who leaves to USA per annum is from this Great Hyderabad\" which proves the significant english speaking base of Hyderabad. One point i would like to tell before i wind up is \"Hyderabad is as modern as it is Historic, and the city is the epitome and epicentre of Indian culture\"

[sri]

hey seetha cool down dont get boiled. i told you i am not specifically from chennai.i am basically from tirupati but i never stayed either there or in andhra itself. mostly we were in all areas thanks to my fathers central govt profession.most of the time i spent in bangalore.presently for few time i have been in chennai. I
never saw any place in india any city in india which is trying to follow good english habits. dear seetharam any person in india will not reject the basic Indian rule. only hyderabad this type of thinking is there that is why fellows like mama are freely passing comments downgrading indian rule .
coming to the modernism hyderabad is going to negative too. i can see in pubs girls started coming freely smoking freely i dont know this is positive or negative. the pub culture is slowly spreading from pune and bombay towards hyderabad also. this is good or bad you have to decide. the pubs like passport, 10 downing street, outswinger are tiny examples. my another question you people are thinking about your benifits. you know any capital city is developed by all people of particular state. but i think only in andhra pradesh the culture of the entire state is one your hyderabad is another why this upsidedown changes?? before putting any statement in net pages dont get boiled see all of my statements in this net page. another shocking thing i observed recently is only andhrapradesh and jammukashmir are not allowing thier medical graduates (young upcoming doctors) to appear in central govt pg exams. this is ok or not i dont know. i consider whole andhra which had given more important for traditional values i think except hyderabad. thanks for comments. bi for now

[hiall]

SRI.....IT\'S GOOD IF WE END THIS DISCUSSION HERE......i guess u r not dicussing any useful matter here...it is just provoking ppl.

[Mama]

It is amazing to read postings where persistently you are failing to convince the readers with your point of view and still holding the incorrect version of hyderabad and its culture in your mind. The problem is with your mobile life accompanying your father - you naturally cannot understand and appreciate any culture at any place since you move to a different place before you could understand the place and appreciate its cultural values. And please read my message carefully and you will understand it from its intent. Every Indian is proud of Independent India and I am equally proud of it. Hope this helps you in understanding properly.

[sri]

This is the spirit. Be towards India by thought, words, more importantly by action also. At the same time get respected in the National arena.

[Radha]

Sri, We are hyderabadi\'s and belong to hyderabadi culture, you have to say that other parts on Andhra Pradesh are acting different than Hyderabad, the Capital City(then we can discuss the point and iam sure some people on this board are from Andhra to give you the reasons)
(for your information Hyderabad was built before Andhra Pradesh so the others should adopt our culture.) And if we are not using english frequently, it doenst mean that we cannot speak english, only the thing we want to talk in our language Deccani Urdu so that we keep our heritage.

[sri]

dear Radha this is an new era. we are not slaves to anybody.Neither to british nor to anybodyelse come out from old habits start new life new language new lifestyles.are you a lady or gent if you are a lady go through this part of the page fully. Young ladies of hyderabad have started feeling thier freedom IN ALL ACCOUNTS. anyway bi bi

[Proud Hyderabadi]

Ayyayo Sri baba, Hyderabad is already no.1 city in India. Which world do u live in Sirrrrrr. Your problem as one Hyderabadi told earlier is you roamed around too much thats why your roots are no where( please don\'t do this with your kids. Let them live at one place so that when they grow old they will have some roots). You will find Hyderabdis in any corner of the world mixed with the locals BUT they still carry their culture and heritage with them. Not like others who still think that you have to communicate in English.....big deal. Sorry to say that British left but some pseudoBritishers are left behind .

[sri]

sssspecal thanks hyderabadi, think twice and thrice which is the useful language, local deccani urdu or English.If you feel urdu so tell MrNaidu to ban English and make deccani urdu as compelsary in all schools. otherwise atleast tell and make your kids not to learn English. lets them become pundits in deccani urdu. will you do so?

[Pasha]

Dear Sri,
I have been reading the discussion with some amazement.
Dear Sir,yane sri,Hyderabadi will remain Hyderabadi whereever he or she may be.You can mingle with Indians, Pakistanis etc but Hyderabadi language yane pakki hyderabadi
can be recognised clearly.
Miyan bekar bahas chodo aur no khud confus ho aur na doosron ko confuse karo.

[Proud Hyderabadi]

Problem with people like you is, you still want to live the life like a - - - - -. People from bordering state of AP wants to communicate in a foreign language but not in national language. About Deccani, may be you don\'t know but even English has different dilects like any other language and so does Urdu. Deccani is one of the dilects of Hindi/Urdu. Your grapes are sour sri. Better go back to Chennai.

[Hyderabadi]

Find your roots you rootless man. Even if you find them in Timbaktu go and grab them.

[Gokul]

Don\'t you know Hyderabadis are extra intelligent people. They are masters of Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, and English. You just beat your drums in Anglais. Also they master in computer hardware, software, medicine, engineering, many more professions and top of that MANNERISM.

[masterblaster]

dont go beyond the topic I basically dont want to purify chennai. But want to suggest corrections to purify this mysterious place(HYDERABAD) which still doesnot follow standard language.A person who want to do so many things doesnot succeed in anything, OK??
