Hyderabad style....

LAIDBACK…

Laidback is the inherent quality of a hyderabadis’. How laidback we are? …. Well, when Ganguly was axed from the Indian cricket team whole West Bengal protested. But when Laxman was axed no one from Hyderabad protested and what do we say for that? .. Well, we say when comeback king Jimmy Amarnath made those many comebacks to Indian cricket team, (guess how many times…... 18 times he made comebacks) why can’t Laxman? …

BIRD flu scare refuses to fly away….

Coming to bird flu… ever since we hyderabadis’ came to know about the bird flu we, stopped eating chicken (just gave a break….) why? (Take a wild guess …...) well, we know if we stop eating chicken, poultry federation people will organize chicken melas’ and will distribute eggs for free as part of a promotional campaign. Poultry business has taken a hit since the outbreak of bird flu. Assurances by the government have done little to win back customers. There was a chicken mela organized in the last week of Feb., people started standing in Q’s for more than two hrs before the mela started. And Chief Guest for that mela was chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. As gates were opened people attacked, the attack was intensive that the mela went out of stock within 30mins. Aur hamare pyaare CM saab ko kilaane chicken nahi tha. This should have given you a clear idea, why bird flu scare refuses to fly away from Hyderabad (the land of chicken biryanis’)

FMs…

Hyderabad is blessed with another FM radio channel apart from regular Vivdha Bharathi. It is AIR RAINBOW FM. Today while preparing this blog was listening to one of the radio show of new FM channel in the morning. This was your choice show and we need to call them to request the song. Today was the birthday of legendary playback singer Satyanarayana, and RJ’s were attributing this show to him for his unforgettable songs he sang for us. There was this B.Tech final yr student’s call; when asked which song to be played for him. He says, “any song new or old, no problem”. Then this female RJ says, “as today is birthday of legendary singer Satyanarayana we’ll play one of his hit song from the movie ‘mayabazar’”. This caller says,” I wanted to ask a question to all RJ’s out there”. The RJ gets interested “yeah go on, please ask” . he asks, “have you all RJ’s seen rang de basanthi?”. RJ blushes and answers,” yeah we all saw that, very good movie.”
The caller tries to flatter the RJ’s saying, “this movie shows the importance radios and RJ’s, so why don’t u play a song from that movie.” The male RJ protests saying, “you already made your request for the song from the movie ‘mayabazar’, we are actually remembering him today”. The caller defends himself saying,” look we can remember him this entire day but for five minutes we’ll give a break and listen to song from RDB!”
Male RJ who was feeling defeated ends the call saying, “yeah that’s fine, this show is for playing your requested song so here we are playing a song from the movie rang de….. Basanthi!”
Last month there were two recruitment camps for two different FM channels, which are yet to go on air. One was Radio Mirchi FM other one was… I don’t know!
