After all the brickbats... Credit where due 🫡 Traffic scenes were a nightmare during 24 July's heavy downpour. Videos of the jammed IKEA road (a main artery of the much lauded Gachibowli area) went viral. Social media went livid, with people demanding accountability & solutions from the govt - rightfully so! Authorities swung into action. The main cause was identified —> tens of thousands of office goers exited at the same time in the pouring rain. Departments coordinated with offices all over and sent instructions to implement either WFH or staggered exit timings. Social media updates were sent out. Coordination between various stakeholders showed instant results. Two days later, during peak office hours, the traffic on the IKEA road was drastically reduced despite the rain. Hats off to the police force and volunteers on the ground doing all they could to minimise traffic jams. These are my independent observations and learnings: • No blame game. No whataboutery. Instant action. • Swift coordination between govt, corporations & volunteer networks. • Timely social media updates. • Most importantly, media (tv, newspaper & social media) held authorities accountable. Journalists took up the mantle on behalf of the people. Kudos CP Hyderabad City Police Dr. M. Ramesh, IPS Cyberabad Traffic Police SCSC, volunteer teams and voices in the media. This, of course, is a small example. There are many other issues that #Hyderabad #Telangana is overcoming gradually as we progress. We are by no means an easy populace to govern. The challenges are as vast as our growing and diverse population. The important thing is for everyone to coordinate and work together, responsibly, for the city and the state.

What Hana Mohsin Khan | هناء should have actually married - a big plate of juicy mutton Mandi. 🤷🏻‍♂️👀 Our 1024th time here at our favourite - Mandi @ 36 - devouring the exact same dish. She’s never looked at me with this intensity even once - that adoring, unrestrained, lustful look at that huge plate of unbelievably tender pieces of mutton nesting on a flat bed of aromatic rice - sprinkled with fried onions and roasted dried fruits. For folks unaware, Mandi is an Arabic version of Biryani that’s become the rage in #Hyderabad over the last few years - and deeply polarised biryani lovers more than politics. The kind of Mandi quality available in Hyderabad is something she and I haven’t been able to find even in the Middle East. The process is very simple: mutton is stewed in spiced and salted water until the meat is ready to fall off the bone. Then rice is cooked in the same liquid and laid out on a huge flat plate. Fried onions and roasted dried cashews, raisins and pine nuts are generously sprinkled on top. It is served with salad, garlic mayo and a tomato salsa. The resulting dish is an incredible explosion of subtle flavours that go straight to your soul and cease any conversation on the table. Once you begin eating, all you do is sigh and munch and reach for another morsel, repeating the process until your stomach is full and your life seems delightful. The large plate is shared between the diners - a communal eating experience where you share the joy of good food off the same plate. Hundreds of #Mandi restaurants have bloomed in Hyderabad offering myriad combinations. But our fav and the best remains Mandi @ 36 (this is not a paid or sponsored post). I guess everyone has their own love language. Ours is food and travel, and the alphabet begins with a large plate of Mandi. ❤️ #OneLife
