For someone who has spent a little over two decades in the city, I can safely say that Delhi is a city where thousands of strangers pass each other in the lanes of Connaught Place, metro platforms, and many other dampened sidewalks. These are 10 Signs you are from New Delhi!
This place never goes out of food. You can get diverse cuisine over here with mouth-watering taste at any hour of the day. Price range varies from very low to super expensive but remember that your pocket will surely manage to buy food of your choice.
We have our own colloquial terms and words that the rest of India fondly refers to as ‘Delhi’s Slang’. The word Bh**c*** might be offensive for everyone else, but in Delhi it’s a way of expressing your emotions – anger, frustration, helplessness etc.
You must have heard people talking about ‘Dilli ki sardi‘(Winters of Delhi). Well that is true. You’re gonna freeze in winter but still this city gets amazing in winter. You will see the true fashion sense on Delhiittes in this season.
If you’re from Delhi you should already know the metro network is almost all Delhi and it connects you to NCR as well. You just cannot get such convenient ride in any other state. You can roam around in Delhi with such comfort. And that’s not it Delhi Metro is still expanding itself, in near future it will connect everyone to even more places in Delhi and NCR.
Is that a sculpture? A fountain? Giant globes of steel floating in the air? We don’t know either. Yes! I’m talking about the masterpiece at AIIMS flyover. If someone asks you about it, do what I do – shrug your shoulders and keep driving.
There are people who travel from one part of the town to another, and its normal for most but if you live in Delhi you’d seriously rather travel to Jaipur, two hours away, than go to Gurgaon or Noida which is around 20 or 25 kilometers away because it will that take forever to get there.
In a city of over a million people, it’s difficult to avoid crowded areas. We find it adorable when people from other states get flustered by the crowds, because to us, it’s perfectly normal.
There are around 200 small and big bars and pubs in Delhi and there is always an occasion. So you will drink on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and on weekends, of course!
If you are unfortunate enough to get lost while visiting Delhi, asking for directions from a local will most likely result in something along the lines of “Take a right at that red colored monument and then turn left when you’ve passed the giant statue.” Only to realize that there is no monument or statue for the next 50 Km.
Delhiites are used to battling it out with each other for a spot to stand in. So should you!
