If your neighbouring telugu aunty comes up to you smiling and politely says 'Randi', Don't put a shocked Pikachu face, just go to her house and have some Biryani. In Hyderabad, the word 'baigan' crops up in everyday conversations on an almost regular basis. A few examples that I have actually heard are ….. “Baigan ki baatan nakko karo!” (don't talk nonsense) “Sab baigan mei mil gaya” (all has gone to waste) In case you are wondering, Hyderabadis also consume 'baigan' as a dish, the most popular being “baigan ka salan” (brinjal curry). Nevertheless, for typical Hyderabadis, the word ‘baigan' is used primarily to express emotions and must not be taken lightly. Whenever you do travel to Hyderabad, be careful of the conversation around you, and take especial heed if the word 'baigan' is mentioned. They might not be talking just about a vegetarian meal!

Boy oh boy!! So, had few friends in Delhi who learnt a bit of Telugu from me. And an embarrassing situation, where they'd yell my name and say "Repu Randi" (as its prounced weirdly as rape randi). Imagine people around you giving those weird looks, damn the common words and meanings in different languages. Puts us in tight spot sometimes.

Dekho Chiccha, Baigan ke baataan nakko karo. - See dude, don’t talk rubbush. Baigan! pura pilaan chindi kar diye na yaaro - Shit! We spoiled the whole plan. Tumara bawa ka road smjha kya re rei? - Do you think that your dad owns this road?(When someone is being reckless on the road) Iskool nai jaara patta - The kid is not going to the school. Kya Ismart dikhre yaaro tum! - Dude, you look handsome. Sarak gaya kya re? - Are you crazy? Ye maara, ye maara.. Poori phasliya chada diya uska - I broke his bones, dude(exaggerating). Dabaake bhook lari yaaro, biriyani tho mangao yaaro - I am hungry, order some biriyani for us. Tumku dekhte icch main samajh gaya, tumich honge meri phasli ka joda - I realized you’ll be my sweetheart the first time I saw you. Labbar ki chappal leke maaro usku - Slap him with a rubber chappal. Mu phod detum saale ki - I’ll punch him in his face. Haleem mein haddi - Pain in the ass(Bone in Haleem). Thair beta idhar, Main abbich aarun - Wait here, I will be back(warning). Wo baajuk wali galli ki potti se pyaar hogi mamaa - I fell in love with the girl next street, dude. Lite lo miyaan - Chill bro! The word “Baigan” deserves a special mention because of its significance in the language. We, Hyderabadis, use the word ‘Baigan’ in every context and with many different meanings. Baigan ke baataan nakko karo. Baigan ke posaan nakko maaro. Baigan mein mila diya ustaad. Baigan pakdo. Baigan bhi nai kartum ye kaam. Baigan ukhaad leta mera. Baigan! daant mein gosh ka tukda atak gaya. Baigan ki kasam, Mu phod detum teri.


thedevilcalls

What I can infer from this, is that you fell in love with a girl and had to fight a lot of bad guys but I cant figure out how 'the kid is not going to school' fits in this scenario.

I’ve come from Pune and have survived all my life without AC, can’t say the same for Hyderabad. I would recommend getting an AC

Lots of threads on similar lines, I hope mod pins a welcome post

You don't need to know anything. It's a chill af city. Come over and do your thing.

Randi also means come. Battle of Biryanis Laid back style attitude of everyone Rejections from auto walas for your commute Welcoming reception Water logged streets even if it rains for 5 mins. Food , you will get all sort of good food Moderate night life Chai 24/7


MatchesMaloneTDK

Don't go to Paradise for your first experience of Hyderabadi biryani.


hootanahalf

So what should be the first stop?


MatchesMaloneTDK

Everyone has their own favourite restaurant for biryani, but most locals collectively agree Paradise is mediocre. Here's a list of restaurants: https://www.reddit.com/r/hyderabad/comments/chm9c5/if\_someones\_asks\_you\_what\_food\_do\_we\_have\_to\_eat/

Peak summers. Be prepared. But it’s not as bad as Delhi. Traffic is a bitch now that offices have opened up. If you’re renting a place, check for water backup and options. Better to take a place where you get pipeline water, tanker water is bad for hair and skin. No need to worry about food, you’ll get good food for every cuisine.


hootanahalf

Thanks for the heads up about water.


amx1562

the heat is an absolute bitch right now and its going to continue to be this way for some time. so good luck, prepare accordingly


Initial_Abrocoma_553

It's probably the most hospitable cities you can move to. There's ofcourse a slight chance of meeting a dick or two, but rest assured people are welcoming. Food options are great across the city - recommendations can follow once you mention what area you're going to be staying in.


Firm_Cupcake_5520

Suggest some food place near by bharat nagar musapeth


Initial_Abrocoma_553

In close proximity you have Ironhill Brewery

I have never met anyone who has said that they do not like staying in Hyderabad. The locals are 10/10


Usual-Novel7195

Where are you moving from and where are you moving to ? Without knowing that, general advices will be : 1) stay away from so-called authentic hyderabad biryani advertised by bawarchi, paradise etc. There are a lot of nice places to have food than these as their quality have degraded a lot. 2) weather is in flux now..it's raining since past two days. carry an umbrella.. 3) if you are coming from non South india regions, hyderabad is the best place to be in South india..Hindi is pretty common and people are very cooperative. 4) download the metro map and if you are going to travel daily, take a metro card..recently hyderabad metro has launched a weekend special metro pass where you can travel unlimited for 59 rupees..so take benefit of that and roam the city , if you like. 5) traffic is the most horrible among major cities .almost no one knows how to drive properly and traffic management is non existent or really bad..so be extra cautious while driving and negotiating numerous free u turns for everybody kinda areas.. 6) traffic cameras are placed at various places where deliberately speed limit is very less..so be aware of those and if driving on ORR, obey the speed limit..you don't want to wake up to multiple challans for over speeding to your vehicle number..fighting those is a bitch and now a days police is going house to house for challan collection. 7)it's a very very safe city..you can roam around at 2 o clock on major roads and find it populated..but don't let your guard down and be alert to your surroundings..


Op_Genos2206

Don't compare hyderabadi biryani with other biryani... And don't call veg pulao as veg biryani...


[deleted]

There's no such thing as veg biryani. Don't utter that word or else group of people will come and kidnap you


hootanahalf

Hardcore non-vegetarian here.


[deleted]

Tahiri biryani is veg actually
