WWith the city under lockdown, many have been going overboard with their social media uploads out of sheer boredom. Just about anything under the sun makes the cut when posting on Insta these days. One lady, Ms. A, in particular, is getting a lot of flak for her foodie pics. Trying to fashion herself as the Hyderabadi Nigella Lawson, this particular socialite has been showing off pictures of each of her fancy meals, completely oblivious to the pandemic, the strife people are experienci­ng and the general mood of the country. Mary Antoinette part 2, people have termed her thanks to her oversharin­g.

Former MP Diwakar Reddy has bought the Tesla Car. He’s the only one in the city to own it. He has beaten the other billionair­es here to possess this first.

Eid season, which usually consisted of several iftaars and sumptuous meals was a damp squib this year round thanks to the present scenario. “The best Eid soirées were given by Asif-Nihal Aladdin, Sherry Javeri and the Alam Khans,” one socialite was heard reminiscin­g about the good old times, when they could tuck into some stellar haleem, biryani and sheer khurma.

Guess we’ll have to just wait for next year now!

The occurrence of black fungus in Covid cases has scared even the most diehard Covidiots, who are all now sitting at home in fear of catching the bug. Better safe than sorry my friends. Stay home, stay safe… you don’t need a deadly fungus to teach you that!

Apt advice

WHOSE family has been infected by Covid for the second time! A former MP’s. All the members got it again!

WHAT are people saying about Dr Reddy's, Virchow Labs and Biological E? That these homegrown companies are truly at the forefront of the country’s war against Covid, making everything from the antiviral drugs to the vaccines. Hats of to our Hyderabadi Covid-warriors!

WHERE did people start gossiping about a certain well-known pharma-family? At one of the exclusive lockdown parties, where everyone was lamenting on how

Member of Parliament, RR, who’s in the news now for having been arrested and slapped with few cases, will be saddened to hear that not one of his many businessme­n and political friends — they were all part of an ‘entreprene­urs club’ that met every month — have come out in support of him. Infact, they are saying, “He lost the plot... his TV appearance­s hitting out at few communitie­s was the limit. He deserves what he got.” this particular family is extremely stressed since many of the inheritors are up in arms about what they’ll get.

WHEN is everyone planning to jet off to Dubai again? From June 15th apparently, when Emirates restarts its flights to the country, according to the grapevine.

WHY is Vishweshwa­r Reddy, former MP, being praised by many? Apparently whoever calls him for help regarding a bed or medicine or treatment for covid, he goes out of his way to ensure it’s done. A true do-gooder.

Star Hotels across the city have made arrangemen­ts with hospitals and given out rooms to Covid patients who can stay there under the supervisio­n of some skeletal nursing staff. This has caused many in the city to become vary of ordering meals online from some of these places, since they don’t know if the food coming to them is safe or not.

It doesn’t peeps!
