I came across this great mail forwarded in pure “Moral Obligation” by one of my friend.. and I could not resist but to put it on my blog. I don’t claim any content pasted below to be mine and if you dont like anything leave a comment and rest will be taken care of

You don’t buy tickets for a music concert or cricket match, but try to use your political contacts (the private secretary of the deputy secretary to the minister of state for khadi industries)

You always ask the vendor “Bhaiya, yeh gol guppe aate ki hai ya sooji ke ?”

You use the word “setting” or “jugaad” at least once a day

You overtake people from the wrong side and stare into their eyes while doing so

You have fought at least once in the last 30 days with your neighbours over parking

You pride yourself on drinking only on Monday, Wednesday and Thurday to Sunday evenings. Tuesday is a religious day, you see !!

You always praise the Metro lavishly, but you yourself only travel by car

You’ve lived in Delhi all your life, but have never visited the Red Fort. It is for tourists !!

You don’t find it strange to call a complete stranger “bhaiya”

Even if you live in posh colonies, your wife / mother will say to the vegetable vendor “Bhaiyaa, dhaniya hari mirch nahi di”. Even with half a kilo of carrots, she expects dhania and hari mirch free !!

You believe you’re an excellent driver because you can always correctly guess what the driver in the vehicle in front will do

You address the waiter in the restaurant as either “boss” or “pappeey”, depending on how many stars it has, or doesn’t have

You look down on people who call gol guppas “pani puri”

Your idea of a great time is meeting up with a friend for “daaru shaaru te kabbab shabbab”

You refer to your vehicle as “kanvense” (conveyance), as in “Apni kanvense howe na ta badi kanvinyance hondi hai ji”

You are familiar with the sight of middle-aged aunty-jis wearing Gucci shades and carrying LV bags, eating gol guppas in GK or bhelpuri in South Ex (with Diet Coke, of course)

When going to to Lajpat Nagar / Rajouri Gardens / Kamla Nagar / Karol Bagh, you park your car and take an auto-rickshaw instead. But to go to CP,  you always go in your own car although you know you’ll never ever get parking space

You refer to East Delhi as “Jamuna Paar”

You refer to AIIMS as “Medical”

You use “jugaad” (contacts) for everything, from getting movie tickets to restaurant bookings to play-school admissions

You have hit 120 kmph at Nelson Mandela Marg (Ring Road) at some time (even if it’s only after midnight)

You think every South Indian comes from “Madras”

You refer to people from North-East as “Chinkies”

The only time you went to the Delhi Zoo was on a school picnic in Class IV, and you still call it Chidiya Ghar

You  insert the words “yaar” or “bhai” at least once in every sentence

You have eaten anda parantha outside Vikram Hotel / bun omelette at Dhaula Kuan / kulfi at Karol Bagh / gol guppe at India Gate / dosa at Madras Hotel / chaat at Chandini Chowk

You are completely at home with teri maa di, teri bahen di, oye, madar …, oye, bahen…. etc

You refer to any pretty girl as “baamb”

Your favourite song is “Dilli hai dil walon ki. ….”. Of course !!

Cheers

Loku
