And a little more to it from my side. You are a hyderabadi if

18. You are at the cross roads waiting for the opposite lane's signal to turn red instead of looking for yours to turn green.

19. You shout at the fellow commuter “Dekh ke nai chal sakthe kya?” after you just jumped the signal and took a right turn where it is not allowed.

20. You run across the busy roads instead of using the foot over bridge...

21. You see a religious construction in the middle of the road and made it an island instead of moving it to the road side.

22. You eat biryani more than white rice.
