My journey to OZ land - Part Une

i am sitting in the security lobby of the airport here.. and narrating my experience of my flight journey abroad... :)
got a laptop.. so i can type as things happen.. but i thought my company gave me a laptop for different reasons.. !!


my hand baggage was no where near the stipulated 8Kgs.. and my shoulders are swooning.. the total luggage itself crossed the limit.. but the guy at malaysian air.. knew mom..so things were cool... and here i am, carrying more than what im supposed to..
there are nothing but clothes in my luggage... and yeah.. the usual pickles.. that grandmom made with lotta love and chilli powder...!!there was the usual gathering of guests at the house making it almost impossible to have some time for myself..


it was a nice feeling to stand on the other side of the huge barricade in the Hyd airport..atlast after seeing off 6732 people.. i get to go out of india.. and ppl have come to see me off.. :) :) well.. i know.. i kinda exaggerate a bit.. !!
just saw the Lufthansa airhostess's go by.. hmm not bad.. but i saw a whole fleet of them.. got a feeling that they are going to board the titanic.. and not a boeing..!! everyone around me is thinking that i am doing some important work on my laptop.. :) but little do they know.. that i am kinda working on a blog...


am just waiting to get into the flight.. i put a window seat for preference.. lets seeif i get one.. even if i get one.. i dunno what i will be able to spot in pitch darkness.have been attending calls all day long.. it is vijaya dasami now.. i mean it is past 12..what a day to begin your journey..
ok i conclude my pre flight episode here.. it is stretching too long and i dont wanna give ekta kapoor stiff competition... byebye.. till i get into the flight.. and hear that oft repeated phrase.. "Fasten your seat belts.."

The Reluctant lyricist - chronicles of the Insane..

After a self imposed hiatus due to my inability to maintain a work life balance , i am back to doing wat i really like.. writing crap and spamming ppl's mailboxes to read it :) So here i am being a reluctant lyricist to satisfy the gulzar in me... Apart from a few aberrations like himesh reshamiyya, altaf raja, anu malik (non-filmi) and their kin.. hindi music has been pretty enjoyable over the last few decades.. well that just made me sound like someone who has been listening to hindi music since the 1970's .. but my knowledge is limited to as i said the blips in the last 10 years or so. I was just thinking if i can dwell on some hindi songs with a twist .. the twist being the added knowledge about good old hyderabadi lingo :) as navjot sidhu would say, u can remove anup from hyderabad.. but u can't remove hyderabad from anup ..! (sigh) Following is a refresher course on commonly used/abused words in hyderabad and their marriage with some chart busters wherever i can....

Mera Bharat MyHorn..!!

Just when you thought i disappeared from the face of the most populous city of the second most populous country of the most populated planet... here i am.. back to college after a 2 month ' weight loss ' program called summer internship! ( 4hrs of traveling in the sweltering heat and you d agree with me) Being one of the lucky ones to have been to 5 of the 6 metros (Somehow never got a chance to go to BANDHladesh ... Kolkata for the uninitiated) i thought it would be fun to compare the road manners across the ones ive have lived in sufficiently and have had the privilege to experience : Hyderabad, Bengalooru and Mumbai . Congestion on roads is a common thread that connects all these cities.. but all the misery is to end soon .. what with the Bengalooru,Hyderabad and Mumbai metros coming up within no time.. just another 11-13 yrs ! But you never know.. the mumbai metro with a super charged Anil Ambani could be completed a few days before schedule and may be we can have ...

Pirates of ViharLake : Curse of the black pulse

disclaimer : The views expressed in the tirade below are mine,mine and only mine.No committee or commuNitie endorses it .No offense intended to people connected to the facility.. But pun , definitely intended.. A serene location in west India , where a cook from karnataka prepares panneer for a hungry Andhraite ... globalisation ?? no that's recipe for disaster !! btw welcome to the place i eat or in local lingo Wat is called a ' mess '.Whoever coined that term, saw a pun in it.. at least earlier than i did! Gentleladies and gentleman, fasten your seat belts.. cos the ride is going to be MESS y I keep wondering if our mess is the world's most ' Aloo ' friendly mess.. Mr.Sharad Pawar can back me up on this.. its always 'aloo this' or ' aloo that', and if its not the case, then it is 'that with aloo' or 'this with aloo '. If ever there's a rise in potato prices due to shortage , then hopefully we will get to taste ...
