A party in Vizag!!

teja | 6 Mar 2005, 11:53am

Hey ppl....well the last blog i was explaining a little about my "experiences in the US". Last week i landed in Hyderabad ..relaxed for a couple of days and moved to Vizag...this silent port city or town not sure yet of Andhra Pradesh.

What a contrast to where I was for 3 months .....US. Its definately hotter....people are friendlier ....the beaches are cleaner....

I was so shit pissed that i had to come here for my project for HSBC. But when i landed here the impression that i had has changed a little. with 3 discotheques.....TEN DOWNING STREET and Shoppers Stop coming soon....this place is cheap man!!!! Nothing like going to the beach and sipping a beer over the weekend ....looks like the cops are cheap here too.....

been to a place called "Chrome" a pub in vzg. The interiors were great and ambience was ok but what impressed me the most was girls with Skirts !!!! Not that i drool over it but i was told that this place is a piece of orthodox shit ....but the crowd at the place amazzed me...probably i would have felt that the place was shitty if this was in hyderabad .....but not bad for vzg....way to go....

the only shitty thing abt this place is that you pay before each order!!!

keep blogging....keep breathing.....

Story of a Hyderabadi in the US

teja | 2 Mar 2005, 7:01pm

United States Of America.....

My port of entry was Philadelhpia and was supposed to drive from there
to this silent state of Delaware. Cleared immigration pretty easily
(as supposed to some regular grilling) and my first impression about
the country was already made....an african-american guy walked right
infront of me with two kids..on his t-shirt was written

"Why are these Kids calling me Daddy??"

Got picked up by a guy who was holding a placard with my name(literally raped my
name)...an experience has begun...one that is gonna teach me more about
my country in the days to come...comparision is ineveitable for a person
landing in the US for the first time...


Driving on the Route 95 inter-state highway to this small town of Wilmington
in Delaware, i could feel the freeze in the breeze already...what americans
call Wind-chill. Traffic signal...no body around..our Limousine was the only car on the X-roads...
lucky,my driver stops the car and waits for the signal sipping over his coffee...country music being played in the background.
Sub-consciously my Indian brain was gettign rest less...remembered punjagutta x roads ....2:30 am ...red light...no cars around
...no cops around...wroooooooooom....there i go...but here this guy was sipping coffee ...huh....tough for a guy whose mind set
about driving on the roads was "Hyderabadi". Dint understand if i had to be proud about that.

Been two weeks...the place was getting colder and colder...being a strict vegetarian (on the dinner table..heheeh), was finding
it a little difficult eating the bread-butter-jam shit...everyday i used to look at the menu at my office cafetaria ..vegetarian
section had only two options....1)cheese pizza 2) egg-plant topping Pizza....Two weeks and have been eating only dish 1 ..remember
i am a pure vegetarian. Now I was gettin frustrated and asked Kim, the lady at the counter if i could have a look at "EGG-PLANT"..
told her that this plant is rare in India...she was amazed and went in to get one for me...to my suprise it was a fukin Brinjal..
may be most of you know this ...i dint ...remembered this song from hyderbadblues2 "Hi-Tech vitech bhaingan ku bolo...". Realized
having been educated so well....i am still an illiterate in this country.
