The Spirit of a True Indorian




Well, am I not sure how apt I am to comment anything regarding the true spirit of an Indorian? Cause I have realized in ages that I do not meet all the perquisites of being one. So here are a few checkpoints (as per me, views may vary) to find a real Indorian:

The first and easiest way to find an Indori is the crazy, undying love for food. Indorians are the ardent lovers of Food, Food and Food. This claim can be supported by just a visit to well known hangouts like- Chappan, Sarafa to name a few. A true Indori is always well versed with his knowledge about the hangouts (which he/she would not have even frequented). We are always game for a pani-puri and our breakfast menu includes samosa, kachori and jalebi, most of the time though not always. We really give a damn to the ill-effects they might cause to our tummy.

We just need excuses to have a get-together. Be it a victory in the world cup (for occasions like these we save our diwali fireworks), or the first showers. Indorians easily find a reason to smile even on the most mundane days. You would find the hangout brimming with the crowd even on a weekday.

We don’t really love to follow the rules. If held up in traffic we would forget rules and our brains would be immediately switched off. The only thing we remember is to make zig-zag way out for our Gaddi. Traffic in a fizz is not out concern. By the way we can drive even on the worst roads or even if there aren’t any rods- somehow it is in our blood.

We are very good or must say “the best/unbeatable” in giving witty replies, repartees or sarcastic comments. We have our indori words for which even Google can’t help you with the meanings…

And most of the Indorians are really helpful. One just needs to ask a help, an Indorian would jump to offer his services (If you ask us a route, we’ll somehow help you find it. We never walk off without a reply or a cold look).

This is just my way of looking at some funny aspects. I hope not to offend anyone and would love to see the inputs coming from the rest of the True and proud Indoroians. I am proud to be one <wink, wink>.
