Hyderabad, A unique and surprising trend in Hyderabad has gone viral on social media, where people are using road dividers as informal spots to celebrate birthdays. The case came to light when a reel shared by a creator showed several groups cutting cakes and celebrating birthdays on the same road at night.
The video shows different groups continuously celebrating birthdays with their friends at the same location, taking photos and cutting cakes. The creator humorously wrote, “Business idea: I will sell cakes on Hyderabad’s road,” after which the video went viral on social media, and people named the place “Birthday Road.”
The location is reportedly near Khajaguda Lake Road, where such informal birthday celebrations have been observed for some time. Many users say this trend is not new and that people have celebrated birthdays there before.
Debate on safety and civic discipline arises with jokes on social media
Mixed reactions from internet users have been seen on this viral video. Some people called it a fun trend, naming it “Birthday Road,” and made plenty of jokes in the comments section. Meanwhile, some users described it as a sign of the lack of public spaces in the city, saying people are forced to use places like roads for celebrations.
However, on the other hand, many have expressed concern. They say gathering in groups on a road divider at night to cut cakes can be very dangerous, as it increases the risk of road accidents. People have also demanded that the administration increase surveillance at such public places.
This viral reel has not just been a source of entertainment but has sparked a new debate in Hyderabad regarding the use of public spaces, youth celebration culture, and road safety rules.
