HOW TO KNOW YOU'RE FROM MUMBAI

You say 'Town' and expect everyone to know that it means 'South' of Churchgate
You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you
You have never been to the Gateway of India
You don't hear sirens anymore
Hookers, beggars and the homeless are invisible
The trains make sense
Your door has more than three locks
The most frequently used part of your car is the horn
You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression
You call an 8' x 10' clustered room a 'Hall'
You consider beyond Andheri as 'Upstate'
You think of Chowpatty and Juhu beaches as 'nature'
You're paying Rs.10,000 for a 1 room flat, the size of a walk-in closet and you think it's a 'steal'
You've been to New Bombay twice and got hopelessly lost, both times
You spend more time travelling than you spend at home
You haven't heard the sound of true, absolute silence since 1977,and when you did, it terrified you
You take fashion seriously
Being truly alone makes you nervous
You have 14 different menus of 'Free Home Deliveries' next to your telephone
Going to 'town', is considered a 'road trip'
You take a taxi to get to your health club to exercise
Your idea of personal space is no one actually standing on your toes
Rs. 500 worth of groceries fit in one paper bag
You have a minimum of five 'worst cab rides ever' stories
You've mentally blocked out all thoughts of the city's air quality and what it's doing to your lungs
If you look up, somebody is throwing waste on you
Even in the morgue you have to form a line, first come first served basis
You speak in a dialect of Hindi called 'Bambaiya Hindi', which only Mumbaikars can understand
Train timings are really important events of life
You have the following sets of friends: school friends, college friends, neighborhood friends, office friends and train friends, a
species unique to Mumbai
Cabbies and bus conductors think you are from Mars if you call the roads by their Indian name they are more familiar with Warden Road, Peddar Road, Altamount Road and the like
Stock market quotes are the only other thing besides cricket which you follow passionately
The first thing that you read in the Times of India is the "Bombay Times" supplement
Your idea of personal space is no one actually standing on your toes
You love wading through knee deep mucky water in the monsoons
Only in Mumbai, you would get Chinese Dosa and Jain Chicken
You call traffic policemen as 'Pandus" and expect of out of towners to understand that

Lol Pajju...

My Comments are as under:

You say 'Town' and expect everyone to know that it means 'South' of Churchgate.

Its not "Town" its "fort"...as in "Today I am going to fort area ..you comming"

"You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you"... definitely...a lot of them could be doing AMWAY ;)

"You have never been to the Gateway of India"...ABSOLUTELY wrong...Everyone has been to Gateway of India.

The trains make sense - they are the lifeline of Mumbai....they stop...Mumbai Stops...Sensex crashes.

Your door has more than three locks - Yes

You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression - ABSOLUTELY CORRECT....unless you are a girl eying a guy. No Staring in Mumbai!

"You've been to New Bombay twice and got hopelessly lost, both times" - Never lost there.

You spend more time travelling than you spend at home - Nope again.

You take fashion seriously - Yep

You have 14 different menus of 'Free Home Deliveries' next to your telephone - This is WRONG...as everywhere in Mumbai you get eatery stalls...there is one in every lane!

Rs. 500 worth of groceries fit in one paper bag - Yeah

If you look up, somebody is throwing waste on you - Nope

"You speak in a dialect of Hindi called 'Bambaiya Hindi', which only Mumbaikars can understand"..ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

Shane

Train timings are really important events of life - CORRECT Again

You have the following sets of friends: school friends, college friends, neighborhood friends, office friends and train friends, a species unique to Mumbai - YES

Stock market quotes are the only other thing besides cricket which you follow passionately - Yes. If you meet a Mumbaikar dont discuss local politics with him but you can discuss Share Bazar with him :)

The first thing that you read in the Times of India is the "Bombay Times" supplement - Not Exactly.

You love wading through knee deep mucky water in the monsoons - ABSOLETELY CORRECT - and EVERY JULY :)

Only in Mumbai, you would get Chinese Dosa and Jain Chicken - Heard of these but never tried them....not all hotels serve these....only one or two.

You call traffic policemen as 'Pandus"

Those who does not understand the meaning of funnies should not post comments in a thread which is posted in funnies. It doesn't matter if the person is from India, Pakistan or USA. Those who cannot tolerate comments which are posted with humour and take the thread to bashing others and making offensive posts should keep out of such threads.

If you throw mud on a community or religion you will get it back in a higher pace. Read the guidelines before you post such offensive comments and replies.

What about the recent incident where some Mallus cut off the hands of a Priest? Thank God, sure you will not want to settle in Mumbai, hope all the other Mallus think the same.

This Herbert Desilva is also fake. I am sure he will be working with a bunch of Mallus and bashing them. At present nobody from Kerala will be willing to live in a place like Mumbai which is famous for sectarian violence (there is no wonder why there are that much sectarian violence - your comments are more than enough to evaluate).

Herbert Desilva, Looks like you are a baby. If you tell me you are from India then I will ask you from where in India then you will tell me you are from Mumbai or Goa? So the Keralites are cutting off that second question.

Cheru, u can bring whatever statistics u wanna reveal it to us..it's not gonna to make us start hating MUMBAI/BOMBAY..ok..

By soniya• 20 Jul 2010 10:23
soniya

Cheru, so i m bk..

Coming to ur allegations for the people who resides in mumbai, as i told u before MUMBAI is really not meant for those who can't keep their eyes and ears open...Those who get sick of it are most welcome to leave this beautiful city..No one has compel them to stay here till end..

Regarding shifting to new location, mumbai is expanding..People prefer to buy home which is cheaper than other locales..it doesn't mean that that the previous place was having ne drawbacks..

By Rizks• 20 Jul 2010 10:22

lol Speedy.....

if a bombayite wears a lungi in the wrong way - the malabaris will not laugh they will throw Coconut Shell on them and RUN....:)

By Speedysid• 20 Jul 2010 10:20
Speedysid

Which one wears a Lungi and which one laughs at him.... coz there mite be a Bombayite who'll wear a lungi the wrong ways and get laffed at by a Malabari!

:P

By Rizks• 20 Jul 2010 10:13
Rizks

Malabaris...Mumbaikers !!

wat a conincident both of them start with the letter "M"....:)

I think both are same....lol, the difference is one wears a Lungi and the other laughs at him...:)

Soniya, Before you post (I know what you will tell me hahaha)read the below (I know this is posted in funnies)

Three Indian cities, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai are among the 10 worst cities to be working in says a survey.

The survey by ORC Worldwide and Business Week, ranks Mumbai at number 5 followed by New Delhi at number 6 and Chennai stands at number 10..Lagos, Nigeria is at the top spot as the worst place to work in, due to the poor infrastructure, pollution and sectarian violence.

Sorry if I sounded rude, wasn't my intention that...

Its just that we need not stereotype people for the heck of it... be it anyone.. Because, I've seen from the previous QL posts, debates which got personal... I hope that it doesn't restart again, that's my only concern...

By Colt45• 20 Jul 2010 09:50

Soniya, I have many friends from Mumbai and in Mumbai who would like to move to a low pace location. If you run with the pace and the situation of Mumbai you will get sick. You will not get time to enjoy your life there as you will be spending most of your time in the roads.

If you can live in Mumbai, you can live in any place any where... Mumbai builds your character, my friends... if you hate a place, please keep it to yourself... don't go on bashing up a place just like that!
