I am a Mumbaikar...Are you?

You know you are a Mumbaikar when...
1. You travel with 100 people in a small area (local train) and you think you are lucky to be there.
2. If any stranger talks to you, you wonder what’s wrong with them and what they want and start looking after your stuff as if they want to steal it.
3. You are shocked if anyone wants to do a favour to you and you wonder what they want.
4. You address everyone as ‘tu’, and no one seems to mind. (except non-Mumbaikars)
5. You have your own unique lingo consisting of words like ‘fati hai’, ‘vaat hai’, ‘baji hai’, ‘apun’, ‘lukha’ which people elsewhere find hilarious and soooooo grammatically wrong.
6. You are always in a hurry.
7. You love eating vada pav, pav bhaji, bhel puri, sev puri, gola by the roadside and surprisingly never fall ill.
8. If a TV actor or a small time film actor passes by, you won’t even look twice, it’s against your prestige.
9. You have more malls than parks in your neighbourhood.
10. Your small 3 room house costs more than bungalows elsewhere in the country.
11. You have a never say die attitude and are not worried of anything despite terrorists, bomb blasts and everything else the city has faced.
12. You love the city and think its the best place in the world.
