Yeh Hey Mumbai Meri Jaan

1. If you are a real Mumbaikar and away from Mumbai, you get sentimental
   even if you hear words like Chembur; Dadar; Andheri, Bandra.

2. Mumbai – the only city where people no matter what language, religion
   and caste, express frustration by saying ‘chyayla’
3. The only place where even bus conductor motivates us “chalo aage
   badho”
4. For Mumbaikars – Burger bole toh bakwaas, vada pav bole toh jhakaas.
5. Mumbaikars – we will stand in empty trains and will fight for seat in
   crowded ones.
6. Mumbai – A city where people come to make their career and end up
   making their life.
7. A city with blend of different people and three things, ‘pudhil station’,
   ‘agla station’, and ‘next station’
8. Slow local trains – the one which halts at all stations Fast trains – the one
   which halts in between stations.
9. Everything is fair in love, war and local trains.
10. You never say you are angry. You say “dimaag ka dahi ho gaya hai”
11. Mumbaikar to auto wala – Sakinaka chaloge? Auto wala – nahi.
    Mumbaikar – saale Dubai chalega?
12. Some words we use often – waat lagayi, aai shapath, pandu, faadu,
    party to banti hai, kat le, jhol, ek number.
13. Local trains are the only place in Mumbai where men are more civilized
    than women.
14. In India we drive on the left of the road. In Mumbai we drive on what is
    left of the road.
15. That awesome moment when in local trains you don’t have to move
    towards the exit, you are simply pushed towards it by the crowd.
16. While giving directions you say right / left maaro aur waahan pe ek
    bridge girega.
17. If Borivali passenger gets into a Virar fast train, that’s a serious crime
    boss.
18. Once you survive in a Mumbai local during journey from VT to Kalyan or
    vice versa during peak hours, you can survive anywhere in the world.
19. Train timings (7.27, 8.49 etc) are really important events of life.
20. In every local train journey you will find at least one person asking “arey
    yeh platform kis taraf aayega?”
    
21. No salsa, hiphop, moon walk, B’boying or
22. jazz can beat our visarjan dance.
23. No Starbucks Coffee can beat of our own
    cutting chai.
24. Nobody remains “untouched” once you
    enter Virar / Karjat fast local.
25. 99% fast trains halt at Goregaon station,
    but still not indicated…
26. We dont understand “humko and
    tumko”. We prefer “tereko and mereko”
27. Second class ticket Rs 10 and first class
    ticket Rs 110. No difference. You can’t sit
    in either.
28. Getting a Virar fast train from Andheri/
    Borivali during peak hours is more
    difficult than getting into IIT and IIM.
29. Aur yahan Mumbai mein ghadi sab ke
    pas hai, lekin time kisi ke pas nahi hai.

Yeh hai Mumbai Meri Mumbai, Meri
Jaan… And am proud to be a Mumbaikar…

Ankin bolaaichcha kya.
