Its often said and believed that Mumbaikars dont like Delhi and is wisely reciprocated. Never have we met a Delhieite and the conversation of city superiority ever reached its conclusion. This stands true for all topics of conversation right from City Location, Infrastructure, Politics to which place bears the most good looking gals that make you say woooooooow .... :D
Well, the conversation still continues and I still believe Mumbai is best in terms of Gal Quotient.. some of my friends disagree :P... I though admit Delhi has some amazing roads and infrastructure.. but then it has the space for it. We cant do that on our island.
The below list is taken from one of the Mumbai group on Facebook -- The group has 100s of them, I took few out of it.
You know you are from Mumbai (Bombay) when
1. You say "town " and expect everyone to know that*this means south of Churchgate.
2 You speak in a dialect of Hindi called 'Bambaiya Hindi', which only Bombayites can understand.
3. Train timings (9.27, 10.49 etc) are really important events of life.
4. You spend more time each month traveling than you spend at home.
5. You call an 8' x 10' clustered room a Hall.
6. You're paying Rs 10,000 sq ft. for a 1 room flat, the size of walk-in closet and you think it's a "steal."
7. You have the following sets of friend: school friends, college friends, neighborhood friends, office friends and yes, train friends, a species unique only in Bombay.
8. It takes longer to get off from your house to the station than from one end of Mumbai to another by train.
9. You actually pay for your rickshaws by the meter.
10. your idea of personal space is no one actually standing on your toes.
11. At 3am in morning you can still get wadapav or butter pav bhaji and when u r stuck in traffic even at 1:30 a.m
12. you call the cabbies n waiters BOSS
13. Every time you speak Hindi in front of a Delhitite they have the WTF expression on their face.
14. you behave like a foreigner in any other part of the country.
15. Chal, paka mat!" is an overused part of your vocabulary
16. You drink 2 sips of tea called 'cutting' more than thrice a day
17. you know that 'khamba' does not only mean pillar
18. When even at 8 in the morning you can see couples sitting and cozying up at Marine Drive and Worli Seaface
19. You get photographed at three parties and you're suddenly a page 3 regular
20. You know what the term "video coach" stands for in the local trains... (My Fav)
:D
My earlier trips there weren't exactly the social types and neither was this one... but on the last day of our training we had some time to make good. Having our drivers waiting to take us to airport, we took them to take us around Delhi. Expecting little dissatisfaction for doing more work than usual, my driver was more than happy to show us places. We could catch up only Kutub Minar and it was awesome. I had seen Lotus Temple last time ... so Qutub Minar was on the top of the list.
