The leobond today writes about one of her favourite analogies drawn between two cities in India : the left ventricle (SAY Delhi) & the right ventricle(Say Mumbai)....I call it the war of cities coz people always have drawn conclusion and comparisons when it cums to DILMUM!!!....I call it the LEFT & RIGHT ventricle of the HEART (INDIA)....To begin with Delhi....Since every city has its own pros & cons -so is wid Delhi...The leobond has spend most of her learning time(Graduation/Post Graduation) in Delhi...The moment you see Kulche/chole/chat/tikki/bhalle...glossy/flashy colours and people flaunting on the size of the car they have(hehheee), u knw you are in Delhi....You hear words like keddi gal!!!..bhaiji....Its Dellhi...The big glasses of Lassi...the autowaala asking Rs 100 for 100 m,hehehee...its Delhi....But one very important think -care and love....
On the other hand Aamchi Mumbai is adversely different-Fast paced life, utter professionalism n bindas attitude of moving on!!!....The leobond started her career from here and I feel proud of that....When you see people running faster than a Rabbit, its Mum....so fast that you need to gear up!!!..
I have met variety of people in my life and all have different opinion about the war of these cities : On one hand where Delhi is bit unsafe at night, one would love the night life of Mum...
Searching a house is one of the most tedious jobs in Mum -u can accomodate 5 in 750 sq feet, whereas in Delhi this space is considered so very claustrophobic!!!
Flashy colours all around increases the Beauty of Delhi and the simplicity of Mum touches your soul....
Punctuality : I guess readers will kill me for this....People are so very relaxed in attitude in Delhi may be coz of the atmosphere whereas ; Boss aage badho ,Time nahi hai...Jaldi bolo are a few jargons very common in Mum....;);)...
Analogies can be numerous...but after living in both the places no one can deny the fact that the left &; the right ventricle of the heart(India) complement each other with their own charm and one should try to get a flavour of both...coz without any of the ventricle -Heart will STOP Beating....:):)..
Cheers to DILMUM....

Good Analogy.............just to add on Delhi has far better infrastructure than Mumbai(u will kill me for that) but at the same time Mumbai has better local conveyance(I know we both enjoyed the numerous long auto rides in Mumbai)
ReplyDeleteI cant see dat better infra in Dil...yes i will kill u coz u talk abt local n write vabt auto rides....confused!!!...heheee...decide ur vote to DIL or Mum....Vote dooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteBy local one deosn't assume local train, I have clearly mentioned local conveyance..........
ReplyDeleteRegarding the vote I would settle in Delhi but party in Mumbai :):)
DILMUM...........Interesting Word.All the bollywood filmmakers can fight for copyrighting this word for their next movie coz it is far more interesting word rather than using the old songs lyrics that those guys r using these days :):)
