Well, old Hyderabadi culture gurinchi cheppatam seems to have not gone well with some people ..

naaku telisina Hyd was a lot different .. My dad as a young guy in his 20s came to this nawabi shehar from another nawabi shehar (Bhopal). Since then, city has gone undergone so much of change that I some times feel, how unfortunate to have chosen 'development'!

veedhi chivara chai kosam cafe laki badulu .. area ki okati rendu coffee day lu vachayi .. those innumerable pani puri/chat bhandars at street corners .. tiffin centres .. rajasthani snacks .. "patang udaana" .. holi .. ganesh chaturthi .. diwaali ko bamb .. dassera .. eid mubarraks .. curfews !

I still remember going to tank bund and spending there with my family for 3-4 hours in a good evening .. these days .. tank bund is developed so much with good paved roads, hi-fi joints like eat streets .. imported decorative items along the bund .. but it destroyed what was a "natural habitat" for humans and today we can see, no body opts for sitting at tank bund !

Shawshank:

Hyderabad used to have a certain charm before the 90s ani naa feeling !


I agree my fav article on Hyd

Hyderabad is a charming city with a most delightfully unhurried air to it. A city where ambition left its nemesis, satisfaction behind and moved towards another civilisation. To the average Hyderabadi, time is something to be savoured, not lost to the dizzying speed of modern life. He's a left lane man, the Hyderabadi, drives his scooter contentedly while the limousines hurry past.

He cannot, for example, understand the fulfilment that the Bombayman gets in scrambling aboard the 6:18 fast from Churchgate, his left foot perennially aspiring to be ahead of his right. Or that obsessive all encompassing urge to get 99.3 per cent in the optionals in the 12th standard. He'd much rather let a crowded bus go by and continue talking about Madhuri Dixit in Tezaab. Or better still, walk across to the Irani restaurant on the corner and chat over a bun-muska and one by two chai. On a good day, he would order a pauna instead. Again one by two.

* Former Pakistan skipper meets his mates from Aliya School


quote:

HYDERABAD: Asif Iqbal went to Aliya School not for academics sake alone! But, for those breaks during which he enjoyed playing cricket. And, this former Pakistan captain's joy knew no bounds when some of his schoolmates assembled at the residence of Ghias Babu Khan (younger brother of Bashiruddin Babu Khan) in Banjara Hills on Monday night.

After 10 years

"It was a fantastic feeling to see all those familiar faces. I always believe that friends are those who were with you in school and college. All those who enter your life later on are only associates," says Asif. Visiting the city after 10 years, the 66-year-old is an 'original' Hyderabadi having represented Aliya School, Nizam College and Osmania University in those days.

Recollecting his school days, he said, "Well, Ghias always used to be the permanent 12th man despite not being good in any aspect of the game. Just for the sake of real good company he was always there."

"Nothing has changed between us in the last 60 years. We discuss a lot of subjects except cricket," says Ghias.

The former Pakistani captain reminds how he took special permission to bring his entire national team on the 1980 tour to Ghias’s residence for dinner despite stringent security measures. "It was a memorable evening," he recalled.

Not a foodie

Some of the best friends of Asif in Hyderabad are Ghias, Javed Hassan and Arvind Rao. Interestingly, this illustrious cricketer of yesteryears is not a great eater by his own confession. "I love dal roti, chawal and mirchi ka salan," he remarked.

"I don’t really prefer going out. But, spend as much time as possible with these friends," he says.

On the changes in the city’s contours? "The world itself has shrunk considerably. And, after a certain stage you are no more a tourist in any part of the world," he says.

Arvind Rao reminds that it was he who drafted Asif into other sports for Nizam College like athletics and hockey too. "He is a charming personality. An affable character and a perfect gentleman," says Rao.

'Mitti Ki Khushboo'

Asif says he always believed in the depth and meaning of a slogan on a hoarding opposite the Nizam College in 60s -- Times change, values don't. Why he still loves Hyderabad? "Mere khayal mein, ye to mitti ki khushboo wali baat hai. I always love to be here," he said before signing off.
