The fullhyd.com Revamp Project - A Name For The Hyderabadi C

by **The fullhyd.com moderator** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 5:07 pm

fullhyd.com is undergoing a massive revamp, at the end of which we aim to rank among the top 3 city guides in the world. A huge team is working on the revamp project, and we expect this to be done by mid-November.
 
 fullhyd.com currently is home to the largest Hyderabadi community on earth. We are looking for a \"pucca Hyderabadi\" name for this Hyderabadi community. And who better to ask than the community itself?
 
 We are looking forward to suggestions for a good name for the community section. A couple of names we are considering are:
 
 1. Ashurkhana
 2. Madina Cafe
 
 We are looking forward to other options, too. Please come up with good suggestions? The name will be made one of the biggest brands locally, in time, so help us with your creative best! Thanks!

Piyaar Ka Gher or Mohabbat Khana.

How about \'Light\' - the classic Hyderabad-ese for taking it easy? :-)

.
 
 
Talking about Hyderabad-ese, my brother visiting the city was recently thrown off gear at the usage of the word \'candidate\'. In Hyderabad, anyone can be called a \'candidate\' even if he or she is not necessarily appearing for an examination or an interview :-)

.
 
 
Makes me wonder if we can call ourselves \'Light Candidates\' :-)

Sir,
 
 
It\'s not clear to me what you are asking. May be I can help you. Please clarify.

by b. » Wed Oct 08, 2003 7:47 pm

\'Ashurkhana\' cannot be a right name for a website, since it ia a religious place for the Shia people. Medina Cafe also is not too appropriate. \'Medina Hotel\' could be considered, since Hydis call even a restaurant a hotel. But again, it is not too right sounding.
 
 
But, I will think of something and get back to you.

I would suggest Golconda, Gandipet or Charminar, if appropriate.

by **Faheem** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 11:08 pm

You did your best to describe what we are looking to find here. Yet, I am confused. Simply tell us if we are trying to change the name from fullhyd.com to something or we are trying to find a name to a section (community) within fullhyd.com? Also, what will be the contents of this section?

How about my favourite Hyderabadi phrase \"Maakki, kiri kiri\"?

by **Anil** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 8:03 am

It wasn\'t clear what exactly is the purpose. However, these are some I can think of:
 
 
Deccan Durbar
 
Bhagyanagar Ki Baatein (or Baatein Bhagyanagar Ki)
 
Lashkari Lafz
 
Hyderabad Hub
 
Hyderabad Blues
 
Hyderabadi Hungama
 
Hum Hyderabadi
 
Hurray Hyderabad
 
Hello Hyderabad

by **Z C** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 10:44 am

Musinagar, Banjara Band/Cafe, Tank Bund, Necklace Road... Think of something like the Hyde park.

by **Hydi** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 11:07 am

How about \'Lad Bazaar\'?

by **Hydi** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 11:10 am

\"Khwabon ka Shaher\"

by b. » Thu Oct 09, 2003 11:27 am

This has been awesome - thanks a lot! The clarifications:
 
 fullhyd.com is not changing name - it\'s just changing to be more comprehensive, useful and colorful. fullhyd.com has several community features, and we are revamping all of them too to make them even more feature-rich and vibrant. We propose to add blogs and an all-new better chat (again!), and make polls user-interactive, so anyone can create polls.
 
 All these community features - Discussion Boards, NetPals, Chat, Blogs and Polls - will be presented under a central head. We want to have a separate name for that section, and that is what we need ideas for.
 
 Thanks a lot for the response! We look forward to more options - credit will be given to the person whose suggestion is selected.
 
 BTW, B, isn\'t Ashurkhana a bird sanctuary in the Old City? We didn\'t know it had religious connotations - we\'ll check that up...

by b. » Thu Oct 09, 2003 2:27 pm

Sir, Ashurkhana means a building where the Shia people worship and perform other religious rituals. You can ask any Shia person in Noor Khan Bazaar or Dabir Pura. They will explain it to you.

How about Hydro Club?

by b. » Thu Oct 09, 2003 2:40 pm

No. It won\'t work.
 
 
Hydro = Water

by **Kulcha Hyderabadi** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 3:12 pm

How about \"Chabutra\"? Chabutra is the raised platform built at the entrance of a house. A common sight in almost all houses in the old city and a good part of the new city. Chabutra is a favourite place for people to sit on and chit chat for hours from evening until late night, especially in summers, with an endless supply of Irani chai and from the hotel. I thought fullhyderabad.com is a Chabutra for all of us to exchange our ideas and discuss on a variety of subjects! Think about it. CHABUTRA.
 
 
Even NUKKAD is worth considering. Nukkad is the corner of a street where youth normally gather and form a group discussing on anything from Cricket to H1 visa regulations, on newly released films, water situation, elections, love affairs, quality of snacks at the local hotel, EAMCET, weddings, deaths, etc. etc.

\"Please don\'t decide without my inputs\"!!! I couldn\'t help smile when I read that. B, you should be an employee with fullhyd.com :-)

! What earnestness!

by **weepee** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 6:16 am

\'Community Corner\' or \'Hyderabad Community Corner\' readily come to mind though they aren\'t flashy or very Hyderabadi.

by **weepee** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 6:18 am

Or maybe \'Cyberocity Community Corner\'?

by **anita** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 6:31 am

Connecting Hyderabadis.

by **Kishore** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 12:23 pm

Nukkad is a good one!

by b. » Sat Oct 11, 2003 12:02 am

Sir, after seeing all these responses I have to ask you a few questions. Some people are suggesting serious \"literary\" type of names and, on the other hand, some are suggesting funny or \"chaloo\" type names.
 
 
So my question is: What is in your mind ? So you want to have a literary name or a funny or typical mazakhi name, so that I can suggest you accordingly. Awaiting your response.
 
 
By the way, some of the names I have mentioned above are kind of literary but still happy names. They are not too serious. So, please let me know.
