hyderabad!!

This promise has been kept.. here my updates after the boards start as promised!!im right now typing away from hyderabad.. so what better topic could i want??.. here i go...

im visiting hyderabad after five years. using my uncle's house as base and my aunt and kutti cousin for company, im in the process of exploring this city once again after a long time.
everywhere you see here there are big billboards with telugu film posters(ohh how i miss the billboards in chennai after they were removed).with every step you take you can spot a brand... its really interesting to see levi's,puma,adidas and reebok showrooms all in one row!!(common in bangalore though but its even more here).

malls are so common here.i have been to two of them till now...hyderabad central and hyderabad's city centre-where i had a very very nice meal in the mcdonals-mcveggie burger, coke and fries(yumm!!).and of course the very very spicy hyderabad food... the dum biriyani just took my breath away and made an unforgettable meal.

banjara hills and jublee hills are a must see... from an outsiders point of view just cruising around those places in an auto or a car is a good experience.

the usual visit to shilpa raman(a handicrafts bazaar in banjara hills.. kind of like namma ooru dakshin chithra) was made faithfully. and i went beserk shopping.though the prices quoted were sometimes mind boggling...shopping is never a fulfilling experience with the usual bargaining right??

the best was however yet to come... a trip to EAT STREET - a food court by the hussain sagar lake(remember the buddha statue in the movie saroja??) with the most amazing view-set complete with chairs by railings overlooking the lake.the food court had the usuals-pizza hut,cafe coffe day, a burger place , an ice cream place,tibbs frankie and so on.this was one hell of an experience.. the view is still in my mind's eye.. like the taste of the hyderabadi biriyani still lingers !!

whats a vacation without a litte homesickness?? some areas here remind one strikingly of west mambalam or thiruvamiyur(minus the beach)

its hot here but not humid like in chennai.and whats better than having a 5 year old playing with you and asking you to watch oswald with him??the thought that the board exams are over pleases me immensely(the results are a different topic altogether.. lets not worry about that now)each time i think about my vettiness.so ill continue having a nice time courtesy avvi, g3 aunty and dhruv!!!
adios

sorry about the effects but i PROMISE ill update soon right after this round of exams are over... and about my terminal marks... the lesser said the better.... the outcome is that im going to have to join accounts tuition... so that kind of conveys the general message.....right now im going crazy listening to the jonas brothers( laugh if you want but it is a definite improvement for a person who doesnt listen to english music at all ), waiting eagerly for high school musical 3 , trying to cram accounts into my head... so yup my life is pretty eventful!

ME THE CRICKET CRAZY ONE

the title might baffle many people... atleast those who know me really well....... poorvaja ;cricket crazy???? not really possible.....
however yes it is.....
a few months back i wasn't really following what was coming on the news but heard something vaguely about bids on cricketers and the pictures of dhoni, symonds, and a few other cricketers splashed on the front pages of the newspapers...... i didnt bother to find out more.....
my friend divya in school excitedly mentioned the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE starting from the next day and i told her it was sure to be a flop as no one would pay their money to see states clashing against each other.
however my first spark of interest came when i heard that shah rukh khan was the owner of the kolkatta team... shah rukh was definitely one of my favourites and that tickled my curious bone...

lazily flicking channels one evening i suddenly came to stop when i saw vedios of the crowded bangalore stadium gearing up for the inaugural ceremony of the ipl.... i couldnt stand back any further....
i got down to see the match. what came just out of curiousity became an everyday routine .

it was really interesting to see matches played and finished in such a short time.... not long winding ones like one dayers or tests that seem to be endless.... brett lee hugging sreeshanth.... ricky ponting and ishant sharma high fiveing ... some of these delightful moments left me asking for more... and when chennai super kings.... was one of the best teams with my favourite dhoni as the captain ... i breathed... the ipl had finally arrived!!

i got to see one of the matches delhi daredevils versus chennai super kings... we lost that match after 4 consecutive wins but winning isnt everything after all... the atmosphere, the music , the cheers..... its a once in a lifetime experience...

so what are you doing just grab the remote and watch the ipl... its cent percent entertainment (this is one of the most cliched endings but couldnt think of anything else )!!

poorvaja

so what is it anyways??

im going to ask a question......
what do we write in a blog????????
pretty weird.... after almost 8 posts that im raising such a question....
i write some everyday experiences... so is it like a journal??
i jot down random musings.... so is it like a diary??

i saw some other blogs this weekend.... they made mine look like an lkg student's scribbling pad....

i got to get down to business.....

i first need to figure out what a blog really must have.....

operation blog reconstruction has now officially begun


i think ill just take a short nap

ever irritatingly
poorvaja
