Are you a delhiite?

If say you have been living in Delhi for years and you thus are a delhiite,think twice before you use that term for yourself. The term "delhiite" comes with a caution in itself,and it shouldn't be used so lackadaisically.
If you are a true delhiite,then you are born with traits that distinguish you from people from any other part of the world. Its most likely that the "outsiders" would not like you for who you are,but you are so much imbibed in yourself that you hardly care about it!

To what extent are you a true delhiite ?

1.ATTITUDE, you feel it in everything you do. From fb statuses promulgating how much you love yourself,to initiating talks with a person. Why should I take the first step to sort the problems out with my friend? Why should I send the add request to her (So what if shes my classmate!)? Something about me has saddened her and that's why she is not talking to me,never mind! "I DONT CARE!" are their favourite words. Delhi people are born with attitude(its "mah" way and you cannot change it!) Its in their blood,everyone has it,just the amount varies.

2.FAKENESS is something that they cannot rid of. I believe more than 70% of people here in Delhi are fake in its true sense. You bought a shirt from a flee market and claim it out to be from a mall,that's a common practice,isnt it? They are intelligent(or selfish?) enough to pretend to be amicable to you,leaving not even a single trace to make you doubt their hatred for you,or how much they back-bite about you.."Dushmani kyu palni..patani kab kaam ajae yar!"

3.You love to binge on anything for free. Its funny though,because on on hand you fake to have a free hand for money infront of others(oh,so these are similar shirts,just the price difference?I'll still go with the costlier one) and on the other hand you dont spare the free ketchup sachets that you got with the burger. In less than a minute its inside your purse.Wow,you are such an expert.

4.Sadda haq,ethhe rakh! 
You are not bothered about what others might be think about you in this regard,you do not feel ashamed to claim your right,then be it about the free chutni with the samosa,or the free water you get with gol-gappas :D

5.Street food? "I just cant get enough!"
From Roshan di Kulfi to parantheywali galli,from kababs of Khan chacha to iced-milk from Keventer's,there's nothing that can satiate your voraciousness.

6.Delhi or Dil-hi??
Heartbroken and gloomed,life doesnt seem to become easier,and you dont know where you have to tread.
Still,you do not lose hope and you are out for a new venture,venture to find a new mate. In everything and everywhere, the "lonely" and heartbroken try to find out their love,then be it in metro or in a public bus(My personal favourite column in the daily's magazine HTCity is "dilse".Read it once,you will get the answer why I like it so much,it amazes me how people start loving each only by a single eye contact!)

7.Am I rowdy?Thats call coolness you pig!
I need not to give instances to prove myself here. Delhiites are famous(rather notorious) for this.While some of them enjoy being such,others misinterpret to be their "kewlness".This whole situation is healthy,until and unless it takes a monsterous form,as in the case of increasing road-rage accidents nowadays.

Now,are you proud of calling yourself a dilliwala?or are you conscious about the image it will make about you in the minds of  those who do not hail from delhi??

I heard you saying "chal na..bhaad me jae what they think about us".
Voila,You are a true delhiite!
