i climbed it twice in my life. when i as 3 in 1978 and then again twenty years later, i insisted on visiting goldconda. those steps are tiring, some sardar was making fun of us cuz he said we were young guys and look at how old he is and we were getting all tired from walking up the steps. you can still see the cannon holes from arungazeb's month long siege of the fort. you have to pass through langar houze to get to the entrance of the fort. once your in the gate, the accoustics are pretty amazing. if you clap your hands inside the entrance, the sound can be heard all the way on top of the fort palace. thats how visitors would announce themselves when visiting the qutub shahi kings. they even have a laser light show there too at night. i used to pass by it alot though along the way to visit the town my grandparents were living at so i know those mountains and boulders your talking about. i have heard of this place, hafshi guda, its near tolichowki, its now a developing suburb with new homes being built. and i passed by the charminar every single day, my family hails from the old city, of hussaini alam which is like a ten minute, hike, away from the charminar. i say hike, beacause your walking up a dam hill which makes it feel more like a hike.

INteresting. To me it seems like you liked it there Sounds like fun, i wanna go back again soon. So how did your dislike for desi fobs develop? Don't take it the wrong way, but just curious, what provoked it? did it develop over time? Don't say u dont ;p. I remember the bazaar around charminar, the nariyal pani and what not...oh Happpy Days

oh really, my family has shops there by gulzar house, thats the big fountain in the middle of the road by the charkman, the gateway entrances by the charminar. my dad is there right now, selling off his father's properties in afzalgunj.

i admit it, i dont like fobs. im not gonna lie or hide this fact. i think your people are a bunch of jealous backward bufoons, who are too obsessed with caste and class. the sneakiest, dirtiest people i ever came across. begging is a full time profession for them. you know i have to hide my pack of sqaures in front of desis, because if they see it, a get a pack of hordes of them bugging me for a sqaure. i realized your ways, your thinking, your mentality is nothing but jahil. full of caste, and ethno-centric b.s. memon, punjabi, hydro, marathi, bengali, pathan, muhajir who the hell cares? ya'all the same crap to me.

do you know why im not in india right now visiting with my dad? because if i go there while im still single, everyone with a daughter will be hunting me down for a green card thats why.

besides its you fobs who created this crap? who came up with 'abcd'? did we? we called ourselves 'confused'? confused about what? that we dont walk around in tight floods, wear our hair like an afro, dont walk around saying things like 'uh oh kya eeestyle hai na'? dont walk around holding hands - with other men? you know i made fun of those guys acting like that around the charminar. everytime i saw guys walking around with thier arms around each other, i started making fun of them saying 'ooh hoo ashique banaya hogaya' then they would get embarrassed and quickly remove thier arms off of each other lol. its you people who choose to see the differences, so thats fine, now you all get what you wanted, and now you cry wolf.

YouTube - Chithi Aai Hai - Pankaj Udhas (Naam - 1986)

Chitthi Aayi Hai Aayi Hai

The letter has come, has come

Chitthi Aayi Hai The letter has come

Chitthi Aayi Hai Vatan Se

The letter has come from my home country

Chitthi Aayi HaiThe letter has come

Bade Dinon Ke Baad,

After so many days

Hum Bevatnon Ko Yaad

We, strangers of our own country, remember

Vatan Ki Mitti Aayi Hai,

The soil of our country

Chitthi Aayi Hai ...The letter has come


Upar Mera Naam Likha Hai, My name is written at the top

Andar Ye Paigham Likha Hai

Inside a message is written

O Pardes Ko Jaane Vaale,

Oh the one who has gone abroad


Laut Ke Phir Na Aane Vaale

The one who will not return back

Saat Samundar Paar Gaya Tu,

You have gone across the seven seas

Humko Zinda Maar Gaya Tu

You have killed me even though I am living

Khoon Ke Rishte Todh Gaya Tu,

You broke the relationship of the blood

Aankh Mein Aansoo Chhodh Gaya Tu

You left tears in the eyes

Kum Khaate Hain Kum Sote Hain,

We eat less, we sleep less

Bahut Zyaada Hum Rote Hain

We cry a lot more

Chitthi Aayi Hai ...

The letter has come…

Sooni Ho Gaeen Shehar Ki Galiyaan,

Empty has become the streets of the city

Kaante Ban Gaeen Baag Ki Kaliyaan

Thorns have become the buds of the garden

Kehte Hain Saawan Ke Jhule,

The swings of the Spring say

Bhool Gaya Tu Hum Nahin Bhoole

You have forgetten but we have not

Tere Bin Jab Aayi Diwali,

When the festival of Diwali (Eid) came without you

Deep Nahin Dil Jale Hain Khaali

Not the lamps, but the hearts have burned only

Tere Bin Jab Aayi Holi,

When the festival of Holi came without you

Pichkaari Se Chhooti Goli

Bullets shot through the watergun

Peepal Soona Panghat Soona

The peepal tree is empty, the well is empty

Ghar Shamshaan Ka Bana Namoona

The house has become an example of a graveyard

Fasal Kati Aayi Baisakhi,

The weather passed, the festival of Baisakhi came

Tera Aana Reh Gaya Baaki

Only your coming was left

Chitthi Aai Hai ...

The letter has come…

Pehle Jab Tu Khat Likhta Tha

When you first used to write letters

Kaagaz Mein Chehra Dikhta Tha

I could see your face on the paper

Bund Hua Yeh Mel Bhi Ab To

Now this meeting has stopped also

Khatam Hua Yeh Khel Bhi Ab To

Now this game has stopped also

Doli Mein Jab Baithi Behna

When your sister was sitting in the wedding palanquin

Rasta Dekh Rahe The Naina

The eyes were searching in the road

Maein To Baap Hoon Mera Kya Hai

I am a father, what is to me

Teri Maan Ka Haal Bura Hai

Your mothers state is very bad

Teri Biwi Karti Hai Seva

Your wife serves

Soorat Se Lagti Hai Bewa

From the face she looks like a widow

Toone Paisa Bahut Kamaaya

You have earned a lot of money

Is Paise Ne Desh Chhudaaya

This money has made you left the country

Panchhi Pinjra Todh Ke Aaja,

Bird, break the cage and come

Aaja Umar Bahut Hai Choti

Come back while your still young

Apna Ghar Mein Bhi Hai Roti

There will be bread in your home

what can i say, people must find me that interesting or something. and that charminar restaurant at devon and campbell is a rip off, $8.95 for a buffet. come on now? whats a buffet? they cook it in one big pot and then serve it, thats the same thing that ghareebon nawaz does and thier biryani is only $3 bucks! i dunno to me all desi food tastes the same. i really dont know what the big deal is about sabri nihari. i see your freind sitting in there all the time, we just wave hello to each other. i think he has seen me in jame masjid.

i tell you what, why dont you come tommorow to jame masjid for jummah, i lay out the tarpas, ill lay one out of your in the back.

Yes,I have been to other places, I'm from the Lucknow/Alahabad/Banaras area, so I've obviously lived there, also have been to Delhi and Bombay. It's funny, how each state is so different yet so same. Like in Delhi, it some parts you won't see the RICKSHAW that much, and theres a SUBWAY / Metro system there now.

Bro, you seem the know the places very clearly and seem to know the culture as well. From what I can tell you were born and raised there aswell. Why so yo keep on saying FOBS. Are these Fobs (Fresh on Board Indians Living in USA), are they: "a bunch of jealous backward bufoons, who are too obsessed with caste and class. the sneakiest, dirtiest people i ever came across. begging is a full time profession for them." And they're doing all this in India? The fobs in India are the whites who moved there from here.

Do you think all the beggars and poor people there do it all on purpose? Do you not feel for what they go through because of being poor? Almost every man tries to work there, and begging is a last resort. They live in those dirty situations because they don't have a choice, the government in India is so corrupt that that municipality doesn't do anything. In India theres two groups, the RICH and the POOR, there are middle class, but theres a huge gap, and the gap is closing quickly.

- Why do you keep saying 'YOU' people? Are you completely denying the fact you lived there for sometime and were brought up there?While living there all you saw was the negative aspect of life?
- When you were saying "ooh hoo ashique banaya hogaya" were u there for a visit or at that point you hadn't left India?

From what you're telling me, the way you were brought up to me it seems that at an early age you realized you're not an INDIAN and that you were adopted from a foreign family. Because you hate your nationality that much. What do you mean we created the term ABCD. When we leave India, were leaving the dirty filthy Lifestyle right? Will you agree that the poor you're talking about, the ones who beg and who cry and who are the dirtiest, MOST likely will not make it to USA or other countries. Agreeing on that, We can determine that most of the FOBS "Fresh on Board" in the US are either wealthy or of the middle class. India has its own culture, YOU keep on trying to compare it to USA. Sure they are a little behind, if they had to try to become americans, and If India tries to mimic the WEST, then would that make all of them FOBBY? India is a culture in its own, from the gallian, to the mehals to the kheti badi. My dads whole family lives in the village, they are all farmers. Sure when i go there it is dirty, theres a hygiene issue but that's the life of INDIA man. Living here in the west in the "Modern Time" were so occupied with our personal BUSY life, everyones gotta go somewhere, everyone for them selves. People die and their own relatives are too busy with their lives to be there for them. Time goes by way too quickly living here. In India its a different story, you actually feel the earth you can smell the air (not always good ;p) But you feel more free...to me at least. Theres so much underlying culture in India which you can't really tell unless your there, you gotta live life Optimistically. Theres this pazaaz being there. I know that when I go there I'm going as a foreigner and I know that I have a pocket full money, but believe it or not, I take the rickshaws and the autos and walk and the trains and the beat up buses. I spent my 2007 new years eve on a Bus from Lucknow to Basti in a beat up bus in the cold, and it was the best new years I had

We gotta look at things Islamicaly too, the Caste system and all those are in the Hindu culture primarily, i think memons are just those specific people in Pakistan, the business minded people, some say they are very "cheap" ;p The marthi's the bengalis the pathans I wouldn't say those are castes, more like different social groups from different regions in the country. The problem with the Muslims in India is that they're assimilating too much with the Hindus and are not looking at their deen and their life styles islamically.

Sure theres flaws in every culture and this one is no exception. What do you mean by, "its you people who choose to see the differences, so thats fine, now you all get what you wanted, and now you cry wolf." What are we crying wolf for? What is it that we wanted and what is it were getting? Living here the US, i see the flaws in the Indian culture, buts thats not all I see.
