| BACARDI SWAYS HYDERABAD TOO |
| Bacardi Blasts are known all over
the world for their smashing night bashes. Keeping upto the people’s
expectations, the hyderabadis rocked the Saturday night. It was
the return of Bacardi Blast with a medley of electronic techno and
ambient dance floor from international acts. Organized in a resort,
the venue provided the perfect ambience for the party crowd to unwind.
DJs from abroad were roped in with DJ Chicko from Bangalore who
added the Bollywood masala mix to evening. The poolside of the resort
also was an extended dance floor with rippling water accompanying
the party maniacs. Pulsating music was not the only one being talked
about; also, fire jugglers and stilt walkers were flown in from
London to entertain the crowd. A must attended party, I must say.
Perhaps, a New Year party rehearsal would be apt to say.

| SLEEVELESS WINTER |

As the parties go on in the city,
the sleeveless trend seems to go high and high. “Let the
mercury go negative, we will party”. Sleeveless is in in
Hyderabad revelries with beautiful women and girls sporting sexy
sleeveless tees. From the sporty look to the most feminine look,
these ladies look glamorous in their shortened hemlines. It is
not only tees that have gone sleeveless but also kurtis, evening
dresses and much more. This new trend of hyderabadi women reflects
their braveness and tolerance. The bolder women, be careful! It
appears like these hotties come in with a desire to warm up the
party circuit. Good going ladies!

MALAIKA SIZZLES
SURANAS |

Remember industrialist Surana’s daughter‘s wedding.
Not yet on your mind. Ok. Remember me telling you guys about Malaika
Arora performing in a sangeet party in Hyderabad? I am sure now
you got it. Well, the sangeet was a grand event with Malaika swaying
the crowd to her dance numbers. Her performance started with her
gifting a stuffed toy to the bride. Malaika successfully managed
to get the bride boogie for few minutes. On whole, the wedding
function was also an impressive one with loads of VIP’s
attending the do.

I WISH: ADNAN
SAMI, ME AND MY KEYBOARD |

Hyderabad has a lot of talent stored in its kitty. Now and then
we keep hearing about junior Sania, budding Michael Schumacher
and many. This time it is from the melodious world. 13-year-old
Shazia Azmath, popularly known, as Hina is all set take the place
second to the fastest keyboard player of the world, Adnan Sami.
Though she is young as to give a challenge to Mr. Sami, she aspires
to be the next one after the world player. She is already out
with a remixed album and plans to start working on the second
album soon in the summer vacation. Tuned in with proper Sur and
Tal, the girl is confident of making it big in the music world.

LEFT OVERS AT
DISPLAY |


The most talked about fashion collection to be introduced in
the city was that of Seema Khan’s fabric and Queen Dhody’s
jewellery last week. The buzz among the Page 3 pack is that the
clothes collection and the jewellery collection were the left
overs brought from the metros. Now, that tells us that none of
the Page 3’s liked the stuff, but then how come half of
the collection is already sold out? Well, though it is left over,
still it is new to Hyderabad. At least, we can look forward to
some new attire in the coming Christmas and New Year parties.
|
BEAUTY, BRAINS
AND PURPOSE |
It is not only fashion collection that keeps the ladies busy.
Besides fashion, hyderabadi ladies are also into charity. One
of the ladies clubs of the city organized a play to collect funds
for charity. The evening was a success with ample companies and
people sponsoring it. While, the evening was all geared for the
play, it was a good get together of the Page 3 crowd. Now these
celebs were there to add some weight to the fund or just for news
sake? Keep guessing. One thing is for sure; hyderabadi ladies
are beauty with brains and purpose.
|
SHAADI, SHAADI
AND SHAADI!!! |
| The wedding season is been thoroughly enjoyed by the
hyderabadis. Every function hall or a five star hotel is booked for
some or the other Adam and Eve. With weddings in full swing, people
belonging to all the classes are on a shopping spree. Everywhere,
be it the shopping malls, the boutiques, the jewelers or the gift
shops, everyone is running out of stock. The Page 3 crowd is busy
buying designer stuff for each wedding, as they cannot afford to repeat
the same dress again and again. What man! If they repeat whose gonna
call them Page3. Whatever, Hyderabad itself has taken a bridal look.
The theme is “Its party time, so rock n roll. |
APNI SHILPA REDDY |

After passing on the crown to next Mrs. World, Shilpa Reddy seems
to have become a city girl again. Do you want to know what makes
me say that? Well, she has started attending public dos. I mean
she was here having gala time in a fest of a city’s top
college, St. Francis Degree College for Women. Now, that is what
I call a true hyderabadi. This beauty surely has a beautiful heart
with no airs and attitude at all. Hurray! Shilpa Reddy.
|
WINTRY SPRING,
LOVELY! |

It appears like the wedding season has hit the dance floors of
the pubs also. The pretty young ladies of Hyderabad are all going
flowery and feminine by sporting beautiful dresses with flower
prints. From evening gowns to kurtis to skirts and frocks, the
spring season is in with the chilled nights of winter. Looking
truly graceful and sexy at the same time, these hyderabadi girls
are here to kill. Beware!

AFTER HYDERABAD,
VIZAG RUNS |
After Hyderabad’s 10K Run,
it is the turn of Vizag, the next best place to Hyderabad. It was
an 8K Run with 20,000 people running on the road. Nearly, half of
the city participated in the event. Badminton champion Gopichand
inaugurated the marathon that was organized by the youth wing of
the World Telugu Federation. Actors like Sai Kumar, Taraka Ratna
and many senior government officials were a part of Run. It was
the first of its kind in Vizag. The number of people participated
looks like this kind of Runs will be conducted every year from now. |
CHURCHILL’S
LOVE RIGHT IN HYDERBAD |
 The
hero of the Second World War, Sir Winston Churchill found the love
of his life in the city of pearls. This romantic tale of Churchill
came to be known when city born American scholar Omar Khalidi released
his book recently, titled ‘The British Residency in Hyderabad:
An outpost of the Raj’. As it is mentioned in the book, the
heroine, Pamela Plowden went fida over the hero after he won a Polo
match. It all happened in a very filmi style. Well, now you know
how much does Hyderabad contribute to the world’s history. |
FIRST BEST FOOT
FORWARD |

Well, if that was news from history, lets get back to the present.
Hyderabad makes its grand entry into the Oscars, not for any Telugu
film but for a nomination in the student’s category. Ajita
Suchitraveera, daughter of a journalist, first movie ‘Notes
on Her’ has been nominated for the Student Oscar Award.
She is in no hurry and plans to explore Indian culture in detail.
A team by herself, she lives in her own world and is a big fan
of parallel cinema since her childhood days. We wish all the very
best to this aspiring filmmaker.

PARTIES V/S CORPORATES |
With the party and wedding season
in full swing, all the party organizers are busy competing with
each other in terms of entertainment. Entertainment being the largest
source of attraction, party organizers and corporates are running
up and down to get the best performers for their functions. Earlier
it was only Marwadis who conducted their weddings extravagantly,
but nowadays the challenge is “Who is the best?” Well,
be it anything, surely the guests will have a gala time at any event
in the city with best performers entertaining them. |
BUTTERFLY FLIES
IN SCHOOLS TOO |
 Hyderabad
schools are surely going the green way. To make their students understand
life better and make their intervals creative, ‘Butterfly
Gardens’ are been made in the school campus. From the very
beginning children have been fascinated with this vivid creature
of the nature. Students are really happy with this new addition
in their school infrastructure. A colourful way of teaching and
understanding science would be apt to say to this innovative idea
of garden. |
AISHWARIYA NOW
ON THE BUS |
Now buses in AP to be named with
an actor’s or actress’s name. The first in the list
is the beauty icon Aishwariya Rai. The transport department in order
to increase revenue and get the cool tag is planning to name their
buses with a celebrity name. A weird idea I know, but a different
one. May be the public will choose to travel more by government
buses, is what the government is hoping for. Well, be it Aishwariya
or Chiranjeevi, the facility provided to the public will lure them
and not the names of their favourite stars. Right guys! |
ROHIT, QUEENIE
AND SEEMA- GREAT COMPANY |
On the 14th of December was Rohit
Reddy’s birthday. Celebrating it not very grandly, Rohit hosted
his two special guests from Mumbai that is, Queenie Dhody and Seema
Khan very elegantly. The two were in town to launch their jewellery
and fabric collection respectively in Hyderabad. Seema Khan loved
the city and was heard saying that is better than Delhi and its
crowd. Now Seema be careful since you have to go back to Delhi and
delhites will not actually like what you said. |
