In my previous post I said that there are different ways Hindi is spoken in different parts of India... but the spoken Hindi at it's best is - Hyderabadi Hindi!!!
Don't believe me!!?
"Kya mamu, kya baataan karte tum" (Dude, what are you talking), says me, "tumku maloom nahi kaisa twistaa dete wordaa mei yaha" (nowhere in India could you match the hillarious twist in words that comes here - watch the extra As) ..."aage kuch bhi nakko poocho miyan!" (don't ask anything more dude)
Yesterday I was enjoying a spicy "vegitable soft nudle" with onion and lemons on a "chinese bundi" (roadside stall of Chinese fast food - Thela, Khomcha etc.) with my friend when some "howla" (idiot) asked for directions ... the typical answer you get in such situations is "seedha chale jao" even if "tumhaareku pachhees turnaa lena padta" (you have to take 25 turns) to reach your destination... "hau re, Hyderabad me to aisa hi hota" (Yes buddy, this is how it happens in Hyderabad).
Now the best part is when you go to a shop and the shopkeeper asks, "kya hona?" (meaning 'need something?' as if doing some 'ehsaan' to us Northeners) ... my friends, who are Northeners like me, use to whine to this "dimag kharab" (annoying person), "arre, kuch hona nahi hai bhai! ek biskut ka packet chahiye!" (Hindi - need a pack of biscuit buddy! - watch hona versus chahiye) ... "accha to biscut ka packet hona!", Shopkeeper grumbles, "pata nai kaiku dimag kharab karre subah subah"
"Yaaro, unne dhakkan logaan hai, unno kya maalum ki Hyderabadi hindi aisai bolte" (Pal, what should I say about those jerks, we speak Hindi like this only in Hyderabad) .
I met an old collegue today and he asked "kya mamu, kaise hain tum... aaj kal dikhraich nai?" (Hey dude! how are you... long time no see) ... then "hona bol ke" we asked an "aatu" (Auto or Auto-Rickshaw) - "Jaate kya?" and hired it... reached office.
Well, there's no better place than my office. Not long ago, I use to have our "maaki - kirkiri" boss (no comments!) ... "abbaaaa!" (a form of exclamation with triple XL size As!)... "Yaaro jabse aayi dekho sabko dimaag ka faaluda karetoh sab bolre!" - watch the missing punctuations! (Since she the time came, she has made everyone's life misrable everyone's saying!)
Hope this was enlightening enough. Because living in Hyderabad for so long, I haven't been able to learn Telugu... so "Hyderabadi kaamchalatu" (I use Hyderabadi only) - "Hyderabadi se kaam chalata hun" Gosh! can't squeeze it like Hyderabadi Hindi!
Ain't it fun!!! "Chindiyaa hai" (Superb)!!!

Kya kya kaamaa karte logaan! - If you are confused from the above, well not your fault. This is well apreciated by those who have or are living in Hyderabad.

Just back from Hyderabad and learnt two great phrases-
1. Light le lo yaar (take it easy ya)
2. rodaa mein kitna bassaaa hain ya pe (so many buses on the road here)
...and of course the use of the word 'compulsary' :)
