kuch bhi, haan?!

In the state capital of Andhra Pradesh how do you identify the children of gentlemen in the Indian Armed Forces?

* Their domestic grocery is all about Ratandeep Super Market, and aaloo aur tamatar.

* The limits of their geography tend to Trimulgherry, Bolaram, Vikrampuri, Alwal, Gunrock, and of course, Sainikpuri.

* The farthest they would have travelled to in their city: Secunderabad Railway Station, and in the past, and that too rarely, Begumpet Airport. Madapur? Wahaan jaane ke liye kaunsi train leni padthi hai?

* Music, celebration, festivities, fun and frolic do not remain music, celebration, festivities, fun and frolic if they don't happen in Secunderabad Club. RSI is for ballroom dances, you dimwit!

* Dilsukhngar, Barkatpura, Hussaini Alam, Yakutpura, Malakpet, Mir Alam Mandi, Barkas, Kukatpally; What are they, places in the neighboring Orissa?

* Alright, I exaggerated. As always. Their servants and domestic helps hailing from Telangana are aware of these places. People such as Sarita didi, who makes amazing aaloo gobi and Venkat anna /bhaiyya who gets their clothes ironed.

* If coming from other places, say up north, or back from a vacation, their destination is Secunderabad and not Hyderabad.

* The only train's name they are aware of is 2723. What are Narayanadhri, Venkatadhri, Godavari, Padmavathi, Repalle Passenger? Some rivers ?!
