FLASH BACK & SKELITON BRIEF OF OLD AND NEW HYDERABAD (TS)

Way back 1950’s to 1960’s, the days at old Hyderabad belong to Tangawala days (Jhatka days) i.e. cart with one old horse for transportation of people and material items from one place to another place. Very few by-cycles were seen on the roads with small kerosene lamp. There were single and small narrow roads and mud roads. The days were such, one who owns a by-cycle was better rich, one who owns a Lambretta scooter was a medium rich and one who owns a small car or a jeep or an Ambassador car was a rich person. There were very few two wheelers and countable cars were seen plying. The days were one paise coin, two paise coins, five paise coins, ten paise coins, 25 paise coins, 50 paise coins and one rupee notes were in circulation. The population in those days was very thin. There were few busses plying for peoples transportation. Very small villages existed then. There was no electricity shortage problem, no water scarcity problem. Those days were golden days. Everybody was living happily and leading the life. Government job opportunities were plenty and there were no dearth for employment. Those who qualified minimum 10th class used to get permanent jobs like helper, orderly, LDC and other equivalent posts. There were small petty businesses running including ‘chaoos’ kirana shops.
