4. 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 ]:)

5. A place to meet is Mocha, (CCD), Barista, Hookah.

6. You use the word "setting" or "jugaad" at-least once a day.

10. You always ask the vendor "Bhaiya yeh Gol-Guppe Aate ki hai ya Sooji ke?"

11. 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.

12. You have been to a wedding at a Mehrauli farmhouse at least once.

13. 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.

14. You call the waiter in the restaurant "boss" or "Pappey" & tack on "yaar" "bhai" to almost every sentence.

15. 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!

16. You describe practically every other person on the planet as "Vehla". ('Idle' or Nikamma in Punjabi).

30. Metro rail is your Pride but you travel in your Car.

31. You think EVERY person living south of Mumbai hails from ' Madras ' !

32. You feel indicating which way you are going to turn your vehicle is an information security leak.
