You drink only on Monday, Wednesday , and Thurday to Sunday evenings.
And try not drinking on Tuesday.
Treating a friend means - Daaru Shaaru te kabbab shabbab.
Even in the most posh colonies, you hear, "Aloo lelo !!!, Bhindi le lo
!!!! Pyaaz le lo !!!!, Tamatar le lo......"
And you hear women asking the vegetable vendor "Bhaiyaa dhaniya hari
mirchi nahi diya!" [Even with Half a kilo Carrot - Dhania & Hari Mirch
is expected free ] ;-)
A place to meet is Mocha, (CCD), Barista, Hookah.
You use the word "setting" or "jugaad" at-least once a day.
You have not visited either of - Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Lotus Temple.
It is for tourists.
You ride on the cycle rickshaw - haggle over the price but still pity
rickshaw wallas' condition and give him what he asked.
You glare at people who call Gol-Guppas- Pani Puri!
You always ask the vendor "Bhaiya yeh Gol-Guppe Aate ki hai ya Sooji ke?"
Schooling is best is Delhi not because of CBSE but because......you've
had school canceled thrice due to cold in winters & summer vacations
preponed due to sudden increase heat in Summers and at least two Rainy
Day off during Monsoon.
You have been to a wedding at a Mehrauli farmhouse at least once.
You understand all important words in Punjabi & punjabi "helping
verbs" like teri maa di, teri bahen di... oye madar ... oye
bahen.....Almost every Delhiite understands Punjabi to an extent.
PUNJABI unites everyone.
You call the waiter in the restaurant "boss" or "Pappey" & tack on
"yaar" "bhai" to almost every sentence.
You know that Pappay Da Dhaba or Kakkay Da Hotel has better butter
chicken than Taj. You've at least tried it once! And you see a BMW, a
Porsche OR a Mercedes parked outside it!
You describe practically every other person on the planet as "Vella".
('Idle' or Nikamma in Punjabi).
You see middle-aged Aunties wearing Gucci shades and holding LV bags
having Gol-Gappas in GK or Bhelpuri in South Ex along with Diet Coke !
You call every stranger 'Bhaiya'.
You refer to East Delhi as "Jamuna Paar".
You refer to AIIMS as Medical.
Pretty girls as Totta, Maal or Bamb (Punjabi for Bomb).
Aashiq mizaz boys as Majnu di Aulad !
You dont buy tickets for a music concert or cricket match, but try to
use political contacts .. of the deputy secretary of the chief
secretary of the Minister of State for Khadi.
You overtake everyone from the wrong side and stare into his/her eyes
while doing so.
You have at least two cars and a motorcycle at home.
And you have fought at least once every month with neighbors over parking...
You park your Car and take a Auto-rickshaw to Lajpat Nagar / Rajouri/
Kamla Nagar/ Karol Bagh. But CP, you don't get parking space easily,
yet you go always in your own vehicle.
And then you say Apni Kanvense (conveyance) howe na ta badi
Kanvinyance (convenience) hondi hai ji !!!!!
You've hit 120 kmph at Nelson Mandela Marg and waited for midnight to do it.
You have bribed a traffic policeman at-least once - every month.
You know that a farmhouse has nothing to do with cattle or farming. It
is luxurious hangout for whole night.
You use "contacts" (jugaad) for everything, from getting movie tickets
to restaurant bookings to playschool admissions.
You have had Anda parantha outside Vikram hotel and Bun Omelet at
Dhaula Kuan, Kulfi at Karol Bagh , Gol Gappe at India Gate, Dosa at
Madras Hotel and Chaat at Chandini Chowk !!!!!
Metro rail is your Pride but you travel in your Car.
You call people from north east chinkis.
You think EVERY South Indian comes from ' Madras ' and is Madrasi.
You feel indicating which way you are going to turn your vehicle is an
information security leak.
You are a good driver coz you are correct in your guess of what the
driver in the front vehicle will do.
The only time you went to the Chidiya Ghar (Zoo) was on a school picnic.
You expect around 10 FM STATIONS in every city! Woho.!
DESPITE all the good and bad........You still Love Delhi...You keep
singing ..... Dilli hai Dil Walon ki. ......
  Studies indicate that listening to music is good for digestion. |

if u ask for directions the ans is always 'Golchakar se mood jana' (never saying which way though)
the problem with valuing art is, till u dont understand it, it's worthless but wen u do understand it, it's priceless!! |
