Every year a 7-weeks cricketing extravaganza called the IPL; short for Indian Premier League is held in India which by virtue of its ensemble of cricketing superheroes leaves an indelible mark on the cricket crazy nation’s minds.
In its 6th year now, it captivated the entire nation in its frenzy but one team which man-aged to capture everybody’s attention above all else was the Sunrisers Hyderabad.A new franchise under the tutelage of media baron and industrialist Mr. Kalanithi Maran, owner of Sun Network, shone like no other team this season. The transfer of ownership from Deccan Chronicle worked wonders for the new fran-chise as they not only won consistently, they were consistently in the top 4 all season.
While T20 regarded as a batsman’s game, the Hyderabadi Risers showed the batsmen their place and commanded the respect they deserved on and off the field. While the batting worked in fits and starts, the bowlers including the Protean import Dale Steyn along with Ishant Sharma formed a lethal bowling pair, the spin department not to be left behind had the guile and experience of Amit Mishra and shrewdness in the form of Karan Sharma.The batting though good wasnt formidable enough to intimidate the opposition with .
The likes of seasoned campaigner Parthiv Patel
and the latest Indian batting sensation Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order and Cameron White, the skipper and a vital cog in the middle order, the rest of the middle order comprised of Biplab Samantray and Hanuma Vihari.
Lankan Thishara Pereira and St. Lucian Darren Sammy filled the all-rounders slot to the T. Who could forget Darren Sammy’s brilliant all round abilities and his pacifier dance dedicated to his new born daughter.The local flavour in the form of a quartet comprised of Akshat Reddy, Ashish Reddy, Hanuma Vihari and Prashant Padmanabhan who rose up to the ocassion whenever required.
A special mention of the great Waqar Younis who made the amazing turnaround possible and the head coach Tom Moody under whose wardship the risers rose up.A team devoid of any cricketing superstars bringing down the high and mighty of International Cricket, a team lording over batsmen in a batsman’s game is stuff what dreams are made of.
We give an ode to the team which defied pre-dictions and turned cricket pundits wrong. To quote Simon Helmot “Thanks Sunrisers for rewarding IPL-6” and as the name suggests ‘A new sun has risen’.
See you Sunrisers Hyderabad in April 2014.

Har jagah se hum ko dabaya gaya,
Har ek ne is team ko dhudkar diya,
phir bhi hausla tha un ka buland,
haar kar bhi jeet gaye hazaron k
dil...
SRH rocks
baat haar jeet ki nai hai... magar hum jab bhi maidaan mein utre
ache achon ku buri buri jagah se paseene choortgaye.. waise bhi apan jeetjana badi baat nai thi..
magar paise leke haarne walon ke sath hyderabadiyan nai khelte...
Mumbai Indians won the IPL. Sun
risers Hyderabad won the hearts of the
millions watching IPL. Sammy’s dance,
Steyn’s fierce bowling, the Mishra
Madness, the Dhuwedaar Dhawan and
all the other players connected to the
people, and even if you weren’t sup-
porting SRH, deep down you were wish-
ing that SRH doesn’t lose either.
We don’t depend on single
player.. We don’t win if just one
player plays .. Everyone in our
team needs to contribute some
to win a match. And that is what I
love in this team.
Sunrisers have been a surprised
package to all the teams and “With
steel hearts, you can steal hearts.”
Sun risers of Hyderabad was truly mesmerizing through-
out this series under the cap-taincy of kumar sangakara the team did surprisingly well so
their is a saying “if its not this time their will be always next time” inshahAllah next time IPL cup will be ours

SRH.....The real TEAM where
every player contributed to the
success in one way or the other....
played like a team and were look-
ing to rise in every match as the
name suggests....... Aaaraaam se
aaaye shaaan se hyderabadi dilon
ko jeet ke le gaye phatte....
Weakest team they said,worst jersey they said..still will qualify for playoffs
they never said..
Mumbai won trophy n sunrisers won d hearts
SRH mein ek khaas baat thi.. bowling
department match jeetaya.. batting
mein confidence nai tha magar
bowlling mein pakka bharosa tha
match jeetanay ka.. aur aaj kay final
mein woich strategy kaam mein aai MI
kay wastay
Why do people love watching underdogs win? Why is there
a smile on everyone’s face when teams like SRH win? Its the
beauty of life where we consider ourselves the underdogs and
cheer the team just as we cheer ourselves. We see ourselves in
that team. SRH has been an epitome of that feeling. We jumped
with joy when they won, we frowned when they lost and at the
end when they went down fighting everybody still had their
heads held high because we punched above our weight and more
importantly stole millions of hearts and smiles!!

Chowmahalla Palace, also called as Chowmohallat Palace (4 places), was a palace belonging to the Nizams of Hyderabad and the center of Asaf Jahi dynasty . This was also the official residence of the Nizam.
Chowmahalla Palace acquires its name from the persian and arabic root words Chahar & Mahalat. Chahar means four and Mahalat (plural of Mahal) means palaces. The name itself means that this royal palace signifies four palaces or Chowmahallat.
From the accession of the Nizams to the Governor General receptions, all ceremonial functions were hosted in Chowmohalla Palace.

The constrution was initiated by Salabat Jung in the year 1959. It was completed during the Afzal ad-Dawlah period during the reign of Asaf Jah V. The Nizam ensured the completed on this palace between 1857 and 1869. Believed to bemodeled on the palace of The Shah of Iran, the palace oozes style and elegance. Till today, the magnificient palace stands as an epitome of architectural elegance and influence.
The Palace consists of two magnificent courtyards-the northern and southern courtyard. It also claims of the grand Khilwat (the Durban Hall) gardens, equipped with beautiful fountains.
Originally covering 45 acres (180,000 m2) of land, only 14 acres (57,000 m2) remain today.

The Southern courtyard signifies European neo-classical architecture style. This is the oldest part of the palace. It consists of four beautiful palaces, Afzal Mahal, Mahtab Mahal, Tahniyat Mahal and Aftab Mahal.
Of all the palaces, Afzal Mahal exudes the royal splendor of the Nizams of Hyderabad. A two storeyed building with a European facade of Corinthian columns,it is also called as the crown of Chowmahalla palace. The royal guests of the Nizams were treated at the Afzal Mahal.

The Northern courtyard has been restored for the public to view. The Bara Imam - a long corridor of rooms on the east side- housed the admin-istrative wing of the Nizams.
Shishe-Alat (literally the mirror image) was once used as guest room for officials accompanying vis-iting dignitaries.
The Clock Tower houses the Khliwat Clock which was installed when the palace was built. The clock has been ticking away ever since.
The Council Hall was often the home to official meetings between the Nizam and important officials and dignitaries. It houses a rare collec-tion of priceless books and manu-scripts.
Roshan Bangla was named after the Roshan Begum, the mother of the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad. This exquisite part of the northern court-yard was also home to the sixth Nizam.

Khilwat Mubarak (The Grand Durban Hall), the pièce de résistance, is believed to be the heart of Chowmahalla Palace. This is the seat of the Asif Jahi Dynasty. The construction was influenced by Mughal architecture, signified by the domes and arches. Its ornate stucco work is believed to be influenced by Persian architecture. This grand pillared Durban Hall has a pure marble floor which hosts the Royal seat, fondly known as Takht-e-Nishan.

Princess Esra has spearhead-ed the restoration initiative to restore glamour and splendor to the halls of Chowmahalla Palace. Currently, it is one of the most sought out venues for select individuals and cor-porates for hosting their din-ners, receptions and cultural evenings. Chowmahalla is a venue that’s clearly a symbol of exclusivity, and offers an exquisite experience guests will never forget.

COVERSTORY

“ Aaj mere paas Ghar hai, EMI pe khareedi hui Gaadi hai, Credit card pe khareeda hua Note 2 hai, tere paas kya hai ??? Mere paas light aur paani hai “
So filmy its actually ironic to current situation hyderabad is facing. “ Arrey chalagai phire se “ a normal reaction this summer to erratic powercuts that add to people’s misery. “ Kab aati light ? “ Clueless people keep swinging their news-papers for an hour or two before “Electricity” is bestowed upon us. Life during summers in hyderabad gets frustrating, People passing out due to heat, most men forced to roam around in boxer shots, unpredictable powercuts as well as their bills. You can go to a xerox shop, to get wheat grinded or to your fav local internet cafe. your slammed with a standard statement across all verticals, “ Bhai abhi light nai hai, ek ghante ke baad aao”. We need to be well equipped this sum-mer when temperatures soar high.

Just when you’re pissed off enough when it comes to electricity, water shortage poses a bigger threat. Your half way through your shower and the water goes out, you go “Mummy!!!!!!, paani nai aara“. To your surprise the last bucket of water you finished was all you had to use for the rest of the day. Even if you have a borewell, even borewell requires electricity, to your fancy it isnt there.
The moment electricity is back, life resumes. Kapde dhone se leke, cooler chalane tak, sab kaam chalu hojate. Basic necessities control the basics of our lives, be it hyderabad or any other place in the world.

If you have answered yes to the above questions then this article is certainly for you.

Over the last couple of decades, women have become more aware of their femininity and take measures to look adorable.
Nail art is in vogue these days. From celebrities to college girls every-one is flaunting it these days. Nail art has grown from a simple French manicure to trendy and peppy designs.
We will show you simple nail art methods which can be easily done at home and would make your nails look beautiful.

Part onebeing laidbackBy appearences all Hyderabadi’s including myself look very preoccupied with work, little do you know that we are currently multi-procrastinating, never concerened or not bothered. Wonder how can someone do all that, Lets take a poll to decide where you stand while dealing with day to day life.
a) Perfectionist b) Overachiever c) Workaholic d) Worrier
Whether you have chosen any of the above answers or not, you’ve probably envied people who cut through life like a sword, smoothly never bothered about what’s in store for them. Perhaps they might not be you ideal choice for motivation, they might not be the perfect example of accomplishment, but they do seem content. If you happen to be on the other side of the spectrum, always working your ass off, trying to find your place in life, never satisfied -- Here’s Hyderabad’s Guide on being laid back.

Most hyderabadi’s agree that when we plan our day ahead we mentally note the things we have to do, however we give our undivided attention to one task and end up getting stuck trying to complete it. If we have a list of things to buy and get home by 1 PM and we dont, chances are we got caught up with an old friend and decided to give up on the grocery list, altogeth-er for the next 4 hrs. Finally we arrive at home for supper with a welcome of kings from our mothers - “Areeeeeeey, koth-mir laane subha gaya tha, ab raat ku teri naak main daalon woh kothmir ka katta. “

When hyderabadis have tea it gives them bigger wings than redbull, However when we have it with a couple of friends we end up paying for 12 cups of tea, 23 osmania biscuits, 10 samosas, 12 thumbs up. We might have started talking at 9 am and we’ll be around till 4pm. We dont take breaks while doing our regular chores to grab a cup of tea, We take breaks from our tea sessions to do our regular chores.

When we have high standards, they have their own place. But everything we do, we do it with planning. POORI PILANNING. which requires time and effort, even before the task is carried out. We never allow perfection-ism to become the enemy of our potential. That’s why when hyderabadi’s do something, they do it at their own conve-nience, at their own time. Hum Aisich Hai, Pilan Karke Light Lelete.
As hyderabad’s we calculate time independent of any event that happens in past,present or future. I say : I’ll be right there in 5 mins - Chances are I just woke up and wont show my face for atleast 2 hrs.

With a kind of plot which lends itself easily to hilarious shenanigans and enough name talent behind and in front of the camera, this should be a solid flick (but you never know in the fickle business of cinema).
GHANCHAKKAR

Puri Jagannadh, Allu Arjun and two gorgeous leading ladies-you won’t care if the movie is any good or not, do you? Odds are you’ve already seen it by the time you’ve read this. Here’s hoping it is thoroughly entertaining.

Oddly enough, it shares a lead-ing lady with Iddarammayilatho (no, I’m not her agent). Nani has been doing very well for himself and Krishna Vamsi’s 90’s heavy-handed style might hit home this time.

After a couple of missteps with Cars 2 and Brave, it would be great if Pixar could get back on the right track (although it certainly won’t equal the extraor-dinary run it made in the 2000’s). Monsters U does look promising though; hopefully it delivers on said promise.

2.STRIPESWith Man of Steel round
the corner all men seem
to have given in to their
fancy of looking built.
But for those who haven’t
stepped in the gym this

stripes across the chest
and shoulders. This cre-
ates the illusion of being
broad and gives u a more
confidant look.

As the IPL extravaganza comes to an end, the focus now shifts to the
international arena with the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in England
from the 6th of June. This tournament has receded in importance over the
years and has lost many a follower. The advent of the twenty over format
of the game has greatly contributed to the decline of fifty over format and
Champions Trophy being more or less a smaller version of the World cup
has lost its significance. The ICC has decided to put an end to this tourna-
ment in the future-this will be the final edition of the Champions Trophy.
The teams fielded by various countries bear a depleted look, with some
of the more established players missing in action. India is without Sachin
Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan,etc. South Africa is without
Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis. Similarly other nations have big players
missing in action. From the point of view of the Indian team, we are look-
ing at a transition period and the English conditions would provide a good
test for the younger players to prove their mettle and cement their places
in the Indian team. A good performance in these conditions can never go
unnoticed. The likes of Amit Mishra and Irfan Pathan who will be making a
comeback to the Indian team would be eager to seize the opportunity. With
the conditions in England assisting swing bowling, Irfan Pathan could be the
man to watch out for.

hoping for their team to emerge

The spot fixing scandal has raised doubts
and suspicions in the minds of people, but
a few rotten eggs does not mean all eggs in
the basket are spoilt. People with question-
able morals and character exist everywhere.
They need to be punished severely and dealt
with an iron hand to preserve the credibility
and integrity of the game.
The Champions Trophy will unite the players
who have been playing against each other
in the IPL. They will shed their regional and
franchisee colors and turn up together in
blue. The fans who would have been in a
dilemma whether to support Dhoni or Kohli
or any of the other Indian stars in the IPL will
now have the opportunity to cheer for all of
them together, to cheer for our nation, India.
Dhoni has been phenomenal as a captain
and has every trophy in his cabinet except
the Champions Trophy. With this being the
final edition, this is his only opportunity to
complete his trophy cabinet. Let us unite
from the length and breadth of our country,
from Jaipur to Chennai, from Mumbai to
Kolkata and cheer the boys on. Bring that
cup home.
