H-Town, Top of the Food Chain Dawg!

Just a few random Hyderbad videos and links for you to check out.

The first is a rap song called Hyderabad Biryani by some dude named The Angrez, Hyderabad's answer to Eminem. It does sound a little like his song is sampling Zamfir though (and no, we don't use it as a recruiting video). Fyi, Hyderabad is well known for its biriyani, which is a rice dish made from a mixture of spices, rice, meat/vegetables and yogurt.

Next is s a video showing the new Hyderabad airport that is being built -- I think it's supposed to be ready in two years or so. Needless to say the current airport (which probably hasn't changed much, nor been cleaned, since the advent of the talkies) looks NOTHING like this -- nor is there Kenny G music playing in the background.

There's more footage of typical Hyderabad traffic here and here and this video will give you a feel for what the typical street looks like.

Finally, here's some info about George W's visit to Hyderabad a few years agao. Not sure if he asked any of the local Indians he met about where he could meet Sitting Bull, Tonto or Pocahontas.
