A little more enthusiastic about dining and getting around in Hyderabad than the average Chicha.

Hosted a movie screening at a hotel's lounge today evening - chose to go with Chazelle's Whiplash, and the audience was HOOKED 😊

@suitcaseindian @hameedsyed981 It's all fun and games until that croc baby he claims to have picked up and brought home in his childhood decides to show up. I'd like to see him pull a "Magarmachh se mera bahut puraana naata raha hai" then 🐊

@suitcaseindian @hameedsyed981 meanwhile all aquatic life keep wondering why all the nutrient rich parts of the sea keep getting given away to two nasty looking sharks.

@sarayupani Also earlier this year, the 27 yr old in NOIDA whose car ended up in a water-filled pit and waited for ~90 minutes while slowly suffocating to death. No help came there, too, despite numerous bystanders calling in for some, or attempting something themselves.

Traffic at a standstill on the KPHB-HITEC City stretch even at the non-peak business travel hours late in the noon. This wasn't the case until a few months ago. What changed? #Hyderabad

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@IExpressSports @pdevendra I suspect @gauravsabnis will be celebrating with a steak dinner tonight 🙂

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@guiltypressurre I actually stopped RIGHT after this moment, believing nothing could top this, and never managed to get back to S3 and S4 🫡

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

What a day for anime 😄😄

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

Oh Patricia you've easily entertained me more than ANYBODY else this year 😄 Ultimate Scream Queen Boss 👑 So many genre tropes upturned! I CANNOT be more appreciative of the writing on this #WidowsBay episode. Patricia and her 1% charged taser against the demons of the world ☠️

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

Binge-watched all 5 episodes of Widow's Bay that are currently out on Apple TV, and this easily makes it to my best views of '26. Gets it all right - terrific cast (comedic Matthew Rhys is 🔥 but that supporting cast is no less), aces the dark horror comedy tone and atmosphere...

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

This week's episode is a great showcase of how Widow's Bay operates. Drag out a ~400 yr old demon-possessed corpse/man (played by Hamish 'Midnight Mass' Linklater!!) from his coffin and put him in frame, then throw in a jumpscare... by making a lady walk in to get her purse 👍

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@guiltypressurre I'm pretty positive this was on our intermediate text books! 🧐

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@hameedsyed981 caught with their pants down - took over 45 minutes to reach the spot. I really hope they're pressured into major operational changes, considering this time even foreigners are among the victims

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

Every single day of survival in this country is a miracle. These are just the occurrences that happen to make it to the news...

Watch & listen to the Audio

People are saying that Firebrigade is very late, has not arrived

Half burnt foreigners are desperately jumping on mattresses to save lives

Remember - Fire station is 3 mins away from this incident.

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

If you think this isn't an upmarket problem, remember a few years ago when pretty much every posh fine-dine and brewery on Rd #45 Jubilee Hills was flagged for violations during raids by the fire safety dept.

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@pillimeow I've been to Ficus multiple times and connected to Durgam Cheruvu park from there, but couldn't spot the elevated platform from where you can catch the sunset against ITC Kohenur/Knowledge City in the horizon. I think @crime_kumar has also shared clicks from the same spot earlier

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

Anyone here know how to get to the Durgam Cheruvu elevated sunset view point from around BNR Hills? #Hyderabad

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@Aakar__Patel look cheetah!

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@guiltypressurre A little surprised they haven't gone ahead and simply called it a surgical strike again - the scope of impact is that miniscule anyway.

[Ashish Chowdhury @ash_chowder]

@CommunitieHyd would love to connect if these events need spaces.
