Pity Andhra

by **raju** » Wed Oct 17, 2001 12:30 am

pity andhra - may be only state in India where the capital itself (under the garb of cosmo..) doesnt care to speak its language(telugu)... and the telugu food(available at very few places) is named \"andhra food available here\" as if u r in gujarat etc

by **Jay** » Thu Oct 18, 2001 12:30 am

I think that shows how andhra really promotes the value of \"cultural diversity\". I dont know if you have ever heard anything about \'cultural diversity\'. It\'s really a pity on you if you didn\'t.

Dear Jay,
For me “Cultural Diversity” means co-existing with & enjoying the positives that every culture has to offer AND it doesn’t mean losing or disregarding one’s own cultural identity. If your definition of “cultural diversity” is different (we all know that you know a thing or two about “cultural diversity”), pray let us know that…

I would really like to know what made you think that hyd is losing or disregarding its own cultural identity. And who did u mention as \'we\'? Are u talkin on behalf of others too? Jus give ur opinion, u coward!

what the hell do u mean by pity, first of all r u from hyd or a person who migrated from rural areas??......hyd was, is and will be cosmopolitan.....narrowminded fools like u will be dumb witnesses.....and if people r speaking in urdu,hindi and english it is good for hyd.....and if telangana state forms, then there is no looking back.

by **Nag** » Thu Oct 25, 2001 12:30 am

What I meant was it was YOU who are losing & disregarding YOUR cutrural identity (I don\'t know whether you are equating yourself to HYDERABAD)....
coward? me? \"cosmopolitan\" in you showing up????

Dear Jay,
use this discussion board only when you have a logical argument to present, don\'t just shoot your mouth off.. there will be other forums to do that

by **Jay** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 12:30 am

Hey Nag, what did u say about shoting my mouth off? Mind your language pal. Before typing something, juz think what you are writing ok? I did write that i would really like to know what made u think that hyd is losing its cultural identity or whatever... and about me.. u dont even know me. So dont say anything about me...and one more thing..did i mention anywhere that iam from hyderabad?? Iam not from hyd, so dont make any assumptions ok? and u pls dont \"shoot your mouth off\" you moron.

by **Jay** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 12:30 am

Do you even know what my culture is and where iam originally from? Dont just \"shoot your mouth off?\"... one more thing... you dont need to type two seperate messages... just type everything u wanna say in one message. u \"are still a\" coward!

by **Jay** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 12:30 am

What is your \'logical argument\' in your above statement? Just to remind you, we are discussing about hyd here.. if u wanna talk anything about me, let me know and i can arrange that. Reply only if you have a \'LOGICAL ARGUMENT?\'.

my dear raju, please give a second thought to your statement.hyderabad has its own secrets and charms,which cant be explored,with a mindset like that of yours.its cosmopolitan nature is accepted by millions,and you are in a minority of one my dear.i pity your vision and wish you join the mainstream of this unique city.

andhra is nothing but chandra babu\'s bullshit.... sorry for my language. I strongly support for telengana. Telugu people should have their state like everybody else have their own state, look at bihari\'s, marathi\'s,punjabi\'s why not telugu people have a telugu state for them only. Why do they have to merge with Hyderabad. When there are lot of muslims and christians in hyderabad. I think the telugu culture is dying in this process of cultural divercity crap. I totally understand that we are one umberella called india but we should have our own autonomy and own land for specific people.
Thanks

I have to tell you vikram that even though I am a christain by birth I am very much a telugu I have travelled miles to come back to my home so i dont say that the telugu culture is dying out... there are lots of people out there who preserve this culture so be quiet...

by **Seayen** » Thu Nov 22, 2001 12:30 am

Jay and Nag, its miserable to take it out on each other in a forum like this. Others are neither interested nor are they able to see any logic in either of your statements. Grow up guys!

by **Nikita** » Thu Nov 22, 2001 12:30 am

We are already finding a number of smaller states. Do you want further breaking up of the country? Why not use our resources for better causes than ponder over illogical things like these. Was \'Divide and Rule\' limited to only Britishers???

by **Jay2** » Sun Jan 20, 2002 12:30 am

Vikram\'s argument is a joke. Andhra Pradesh is the first state that was formed in India on the basis of a language... Telugu. That does not mean that Muslims or Christians cannot live in AP. Telugu is a language and Muslim/Christians are to do with religion. Please do not confuse issues...

This city of Hyderabad was invaded by the Marathas, the Marwaries, the Punjabis, the Gujaraties, the Oriayas and the Bengalies, who took refuge here during the Nizam\'s period. They slowly mixed with the local populace and influenced Andhra food and cultural values.

by **jammer** » Fri Sep 05, 2003 10:18 pm

Like you express your prayers in their best form only at a place of worship (temple/mosque/church) and not on the streets, similarly, you Andhra Culture can be expressed in original Andhra areas (and attract tourists at the same time, like Rajhasthan does).
 
 
If an opnion poll was conducted all over India, nobody will agree that Hyderabad is the right place to display Andhra Culture. People want to see Hyderabad as a cosmopolitan city with direct flights to London, Paris or Hong Kong.

What\'s wrong if we have some Norhtern influence on Hyderabad? There may be a similar Southern influence in the Northern states. There is a big beautiful world outside Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh. Why alienate ourselves from it?

"Desha bashalandu Telugu lessa\". Anyways, I was wondering what language will the \'Telangana\' people have? Hahaha... What script will they write that language in? Are there any writings or books written that say that this belongs to the so called \'Telangana language\'? Don\'t fight over language or creed. Be happy that you are called a part of Andhra, and the Andhra meals are its part just like Hyderabadi Biriyani is. Hyderabadi Birinyani is called so to let the visitors know that it is the local recipe.

Well said Mayavi Morpheus!

by **jammer** » Sun Sep 07, 2003 12:02 pm

Hi Anil,
 
 
I think \'the editing\' is taking away the masala out of posts. My tandoori chicken has turned into a boiled chicken.
 
 
This reminds me. We (me and my best friend Dada and two girls), besides other items, ordered a duck at a Chinese restaurant in LA. The duck looked pretty decent in the menu pictures (you know how they design menus - very attractive). So when the waitress brought the duck it was totally different. So, Dada goes WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DUCK!!!

by **Mayavi Morpheus** » Sun Sep 07, 2003 1:48 pm

Now a Jingo will frown at you for preferring Duck in a Chinki restaurant over butter chicken available in the myriad Artesia kitchens.

Hey MM!
 
 
I usually avoid Pioneer Blvd - fear of the exes!!!
