After one year,
I have learnt to like the city I call home
I have found a set of people whose company I genuinely adore
I have gone around by-hearting road names
I have sampled the raste ka khana
I have done the tourist round
I have haggled with rickshaw drivers and taken the white line buses
I have mastered the art of making aloo paranthas
I have developed a taste for gol-gappas
I have automatically started saying ‘haanji’
Magar firbhi …
I cannot bring myself to be called a Delhiite
I cannot help but miss Mumbai’s sheer pace and spirit
I cannot forget the taste of the season’s first Alphonso
So many memories … and then, there is this:
Mumbai
26°C
Overcast
Wind: N at 0 km/h
Humidity: 83%
New Delhi
41°C
Scattered Clouds
Wind: NW at 9 km/h
Humidity: 27%

:) aww poor thing..take hug!!
look at it this way.. you got the best of both worlds a bit :P
ps.. no rains here today :( only sliggghtttt drizzle ^$(^($76
So what did you say before you started saying "haanji"?
And what do you prefer? The humidity of Bombay or the heat of Delhi?
PS: Remember the time you said I speak Hindi like a Delhiite?

Hi!!TT, mean Tiny Toinks, reached here thru ur intro mail at delhibloggers group. Welcome aboard.
I know what it means to feel homesick in a new cosmo, esp that Delhi-Mumbai opposite cultures. But seems u've learnt very fast.
U write well, continue that way, all the best.

Cannot say haanji yet...really miss bombay people....but like delhi roads, hate the auto rickshaw drivers, love the food culture and the great bookshops, hate the horrible punju girls in my office :)
