There is a huge gap between rich and poor here. Everyone here wants to become rich. So Businessmen here are a bit unethical. Even a small shop owner takes 1 or 2 rupees more for the cool drinks giving you the reason of company not pays them for keeping the drinks cool. My newspaper boy everymonth collects 5 to 10 rupees extrafor the Economic times i have subscribed.
We live in the outskirts of hyderabad. Here for 3000 we got a house with one bedroom hall and very small kitchen. Its near to main road so despite many obstacles we decided to stay here. Moreover the owner rarely complains about the neatness.
The main city is almost 14-15 kms from where we stay. We rarely go that side because most of the things we need we get in sorroundings. When I came to this city this area was not so developed but now almost big brands have opened their outlets.
We dont get variety of food as in Bangalore. Hence most of the times we eat at roadsides in the mornings. These Roadside hotels mostly operate till 11 in the morning. Dosa and Idly are the specialities. For 10 Rupees we get a thin plain Dosa and for 12 Rupees we get Egg dosa. Most of the times we eat 1 Eggdosa and a plain dosa which fills the stomach for 5-6 hrs.
Cinema Industry in Andhrapradesh is bigger and even for second shows theatres are crowded. Every star have their fan following. Most of the big stars release a film in almost 1 1/2 year and the films pull huge crowds. Most of the films are mass and Telugu film directors know well how to play with emotions.
When Bangalore was crowded with software companies and when the city couldn't provide proper infrastructure few companies looked at Hyderabad. So as this city has proximity to Bangalore, IT Stepped in to Hyderabad which made few middle class people become rich. Many people went to foriegn countries.
Girls of Hyderabad are a bit traditional than Bangalore. Most of them wear Salwars here. Almost Everybody are attracted to IT.
Andhrapradesh is bigger state in south India. There is a demand for separate Telangana state but the movement is losing its streak because no one really wants a split because there is no big cause for the separate state. This was reflected in poor perfromance of the Telangana separatist parties in the recent Elections. Most of the agriculture happens in Godavari region and parts of krishna river basin. North Andhra areas like karimnagar Medak face drought like situation and here poverty is high. Royalseema is another region where there is lesser irrigated area.
At first i didnt like the state and city much but as i got few friends here , slowly i am liking the city. The state has a culture and struggle to achieve something in any route which is delaying me to leave the state.
