Wanna have some tee and snakes?


One funny man once asked: Why is it that writers write, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham?  

It seems we Hyderabadis too are likeminded. Displaying freaky graffiti on bikes and cars are Hyderabadi youth’s forte, it seems. Look at those various funky sounding one-liners. You are sure to get befuddled to note some of them. A one liner on the back of an auto rickshaw reads: Love for all, hat red for none! Didn’t understand a thing? Hello, that is HATRED, now you got it? That’s the basic knowledge of average Hyderabadi.

If you happen to sip a cup of tea at the stall just opposite the Jubilee Bus Station in Secunderabad, you are sure to vomit once you notice the signboard. It says: Murugan Tea Stale!

A bakery on the main road which leads from Tad Bun to Bowenpally proudly displays its board: Breads 2 Kakes!  Worst still, an Irani tea stall in the old city reads: Naaz Restaurant: Tee and Snakes!

A gate in front of a house in the opposite lane of Chandana Brothers at Chikadpally carries a warning board. Don’t park in front of the gate: The air from the tire will be taken out!

Howzzaaaaat?
