The T issue is seTTled , once for all?
One wonders how an 800-year-old city like London remains the same? The same names we learnt through Monopoly remain, deluding one to think one knows all about London! I remember hearing about the Dean of Harvard poking his head into his Indian Vice-President’s office and asking “… by the way where on earth is Mumbaaaaaiii?”
What’s done is done and now what an opportunity there is for each of us to do something to shape the future. And what a lot to do? Hydera BAD can be Hydera BETTER and finally Hydera BEST and what about the rest of Telangana? Telangana Tourism? Telangana Cuisine? Telangana Tours, Telangana Travels, Telangana Takeaways…
Tolerance and Toleration of all The changes that we are going to see all around is what we need to pursue with a zealous zeal.
Going on a Tangent: Those of us who were lazy to stroll down further from Arunachalam to Andhra Pradesh while booking a ticket online will have to stroll from bottom upwards to Telangana? It means five steps up from West Bengal and below Tamil Nadu: Down is Up from now onwards.
What are going to be The Tangible differences to us in Hyderabad? Postal addresses/ Pin codes?
All shops and establishments will have to change their boards? Printers and screen printers will be busy re-printing visiting cards at least?
As to number plates? All cars, trucks, two wheelers’ number plates? The change industry will thrive at least for sometime.
What about the Telugu film industry? Since ‘T’ belongs to Telangana, the industry which will virtually have to start afresh as almost all stars are from over the border? There has to be a Tacit understanding for all parties to Tango?
Some say it is Tacky to live according to fortune tellers but for those of us who still Tolerate such Things: Tarot reading on T according to Rebecca reads:
The Time has come to sTop clinging To The shadows and dreams of the pasT and look forward To The hope of an evenTually brighTer and more peaceful Tomorrow, as the changes happening around us now are ineviTable and unavoidable.
As a Tailpiece will there be a Tacit understanding to eat Telangana non-veg and Andhra vegetarian food and the Tangible difference to both cuisines would make everything ever so Tasty!
I asked an old Hyderabadi to sum us up in Deccani and he answered: “ Zarra Thairo”.
In short: Hum Hyderabadiyaan aiseech hotey.
