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 ...

The Curious Case of Indian Graffiti....

The thing with Indian graffiti is that in most cases only the guy who writes it can make out what it is and have a good laugh about it.. cos either his handwriting would be a graphologist's nightmare or it would give the creators of spell check a massive heart attack.. over the years ive seen things written on,in,below,between,along,above.. using up every possible centimeter available of various canvasses from restrooms,to trees.. to UNESCO world heritage sites! and the all time favorite Indian graffiti muse.. " the public transport ". But the thing that struck me most was the passion with which they do it, so much effort.. chiseling on sandstone or concrete is not easy... Although you would have seen a thousand examples of this dying art.. some of them just stay with you, either for their stupidity or uniqueness.. below are some of them that most of you might have seen.. but lets revisit to see if they were Write or wrong ! Fast fact : Most of the graffiti is bas...
