19 Questions Every Mumbaikar Has For A Delhiite

Mumbai vs Delhi is actually a tale of two competing cities. The two beloved metros of India showcase our cultural diversity in the best way possible. And for the residents it’s always a story of one upmanship over the other. But whether you accept it or not, somewhere deep down in our hearts, we like to stay connected and never let the debate fizzle out.

And given that Delhiites have put upon us a list of questions, we ourselves have our fair share of questions for them. Here you go.

1. Have you guys ever thought of opting for shopping as an alternate career?

It’s your hobby, your love, your timepass. The shopoholic germ is highly viral in Delhi.

2. You seem to be born with an inherent knowledge of labels, but why can’t you pronounce them right?

Prada, Michael Kors, Hermes and Bvlgari seem second nature to you. Even the fakes go down well with you, only for the sake of it.

3. What’s with I am loud, love it or leave it?

Loud colours, loud cars and for all we know, loud people. How and why?

4. Why on earth do you force guests to have five days’ food in a single meal?

Yes, we love your food but not to the extent that we would want to be stuffed to death. Plus, not everyone is as fond of butter chicken and kadhai panner as you are.

5. What’s with the obsession among women to look like a Christmas tree, on every other occasion?

Yes, you do look lovely, but it seems your fetish to doll-up is invincible.

6. Without a speck of doubt, butter chicken happens to be your staple. Isn’t it true?

You eat this when you hangout with friends, dine with family, at weddings, at parties and to top it all to cure a hangover!

7. Why do others’ matters concern you so much?

Your talks mostly start with “Kya aapko pata hai?” or “Kya aapne suna?”.

8. No offence Delhi women, but please explain your love for animal prints and blonde hair.

It’s as if you were born with them.

9. Sarojini, Sarojini, Sarojini ……who is she??

You literally make it sound like Paris Fashion Week.

10. What’s with your love for ‘Tandoor’?

So, now you’re serving tandoori momos too, great!

11. How come the words extra butter, melt you so instantly?

You seem to fall for everything with that extra dash of yellow or white goodness floating over it.

12. Why are weddings such a big deal in Delhi?

You’ll see the big fat Indian weddings getting even fatter here with coutoure gowns, pricey lehengas as heavy as 30 Kgs, exotic themes, gourmet food…does it end somewhere?

13. Is Delhi a track in one of the ‘Road Rash’ games?

Unusually loud cars swishing past you at unfathomable speeds is a regular sight. Careful while you cross the roads!

14. What’s with your flair for flaunting?

It’s never about buying a new car, it’s always ’20 laakh ki car!’.

15. Pray, explain your fetish for deep-fried food.

Even a fitness freak will ditch the soups and salads for chole bhature, samosas and chaat.

16. Is it a mandate to greet everyone with a big ‘jhappi’? Like you are back from some battle.

Yes you guys are warm but being this cozy can actually suffocate someone.

17. Why do you pick up a fight with everyone at the drop of a hat?

It seems honking and cursing on the roads is a part of your life.

18. Are you shielded against inhumanly extreme climates?

Your winters are harsh and summers are like a clay oven. How do you acclimatize?

19. Why would you bluff about your salary figures with everyone?

You add a few thousands to yours and subtract a few from others’ quoted figure!
