When someone says ‘I’m from Mumbai’, do you notice the pride, joy, and superiority they exhibit? Well I have. Because I’m one of them. It’s really easy to move out of the city in search of independence but fucking hard to let it go. So intentionally or unintentionally, you bring up Bombay a little more than necessary, especially while whining.
So here is everything your friends are sick of hearing and you should probably stop saying. But you won’t.
1. People roam around on the streets of Mumbai till like 2 or even 3 am and here everyone’s asleep by 9. That’s like dusk for us!
2. To the general store guy, ‘Bhaiya aapke paas sausages aur salami hai?’. Shopkeeper: ‘Kya? Schezwan sauce?’
3. It’s so hot here, atleast in Mumbai it’s humid. Do you know how horrible it is for your skin?
4. This traffic is nothing. In Mumbai, traffic means being stuck for 2 hours, otherwise it’s just another Monday evening
5. Oh my God, I wouldn’t be caught wearing this in Mumbai but here it doesn’t matter
6. Mumbai is so full of energy, it feels like energy comes to die here. Who shuts shops in the afternoon?!
7. Where’s the sea? WHAT! YOU DON’T HAVE A SEA? Where the fuck do all the couples make out?
8. OMG everything is so cheap here! It’s like inflation never reached this place.
9. What do you mean you don’t go by meter? It’s not a choice you know!
10. Oh Damn, the apartments here are so big. OMG, is that a balcony??!! *Shrillscreaming*
11. Woah, there are so many trees here, it feels like I’m living in the wilderness
12. I can’t sleep. I guess I’m used to sleeping in the background of incessant honking
13. That girl is such a Townie. Wait what? You don’t know what’s a townie?
14. Damn, I miss Bombay. No, not just the Vadapav
If you’ve said any of the above things more times than one, then you’re friends are probably going like…
But you won’t, because if you decided to leave our beloved Mumbai, that means there was a good enough reason.
But it’ll always have it’s special place in your heart.
