Heralding New Year by
travelling to Nagarjuna Sagar, Sangareddy for catching fish and eating desi
chicken!
|
Hyderabad: As fun-loving Hyderabadis ushered into New Year, they left behind some funny and interesting banter with cops that left them bewildered.
Some while away time by sitting on the Chabutra in front of their houses, others go places in search of good food or fish hunting—jhak marna!
Hyderabadi
Nawabs, the hit movie reflects the unique Hyderabadi language, dialects, and
way of life, which is unique in the country. Cops saw some the other day.
On one
midnight drive before the New Year, cops in Old City of Hyderabad were
bewildered at some of the Hyderabadis late night outings to Nagarjuna Sagar,
Sangareddy and other places.
Santosh
Nagar police Inspector (SHO) P Shiva Chandra and his team were stumped at
Nawabi style by some in his area.
These and
many such interesting encounters between patrolling cops and people are doing
the rounds in social media. Some are quite hilarious.
The
conversation in Hyderabadi Urdu went something like this…
Fishing
business
Inspector to
auto driver: “Roko (stop), KaaNh se aare? (From where are you coming)?”
Auto Driver:
“Talab katte se aare (Talab Katta, also known as Tank Bund)?”
Inspector:
“Talab Katte se kya lekar aare (What are you carrying from Talab Katta)?”
Auto Driver:
“Kuch naiN saab. Fish hunting ka saaman (Nothing sir, fish hunting equipment).
Inspector
(with bewildered look): “Fish hunting? Kidhar (Where)?
Auto driver:
“Nagarjuna Sagar.”
Inspector:
“Abhi auto pe Nagarjuna Sagar jaathe? Fish hunting ke liye (You are now going
to Nagarjuna Sagar for fish hunting now?)?”
Auto driver:
“Hau saab. Wo sirf 120 kilometer hai (Yes, sir. It is only 120 km).
Inspector:
“Fish hunting ke liya kya kya items hai. Batao” (What are the items in fish
hunting? Show me).
The auto
driver shows the items placed on the back seat.
Inspector:
“Tum fish pakadney wale naiN dikh rey (You don’t look like fish catchers).
Auto driver:
“Sir I am an educated man…but it’s my hobby.”
He shows
some documents and an ID card.
Inspector:
“Time pass ke liye jare… ya fish ke liye? (Going there for time pass or for
catching fish?). How many are you…who are you?”
Auto driver:
“We are not professionals (fish catchers) but it’s one of our hobbies. He is my
brother and other friends.
Inspector
asks the constable to check inside the auto-rickshaw. He found some food stuff.
Inspector:
“Kab aate kal (When do you return tomorrow?).
Auto driver,
“Kal shaam tak… (by tomorrow evening).
Inspector:
“Ok jaoo (okay you can go).”
Another car
tried to whizz past the inspector when he signaled to stop and asked the
driver, occupants to come out of the car.
In search of
Desi Murgi
Inspector:
“Kahaan jaare (where are you going)?”
Car
occupant: “Sangareddy.”
Inspector:
“Dikki kholo (open the trunk)…Sangareddy meiN kya karney jaarey? (What do you
do in Sangareddy?)”
Car
occupant: Khana khaane jare saab (Going to have food there).”
Inspector:
Khana khasney ku Sangareddy jaarey…Kya milta udhar. Achi cheez milti (You are
going for food to Sangareddy? What do you get there? Something special).
Occupant:
“Desi murgi (country chicken).”
Inspector:
Desi murgi? Yaan naiN milti? Kaam pura chhodke khana ney ke liya Sangareddy
jaarey (Don’t you get country chicken here? Wasting precious time and going to
Sangareddy?).”
Car
occupant: Going after office time Saab.
Bewildered
Inspector: “Abhi machi wala gaya Nagarjuna Sagar ku…ab tum desi murgi ke liye
Sangareddy jathey. Chalo accha hai (Just now some guys have left for Nagarjuna
Sagar for fish and now you are going to Sangareddy for desi murgi).
Besides these incidents, the cops had a tough time in dealing with drunken driving cases, where many two-wheeler riders picked up arguments with cops and created scenes at some places in Hyderabad.
