22 Reasons It's An Absolute Bhasad Moving From Delhi To Bombay

    Been a while since someone asked me if I knew who their dad is.

    1. The size of the new place you're moving into could be shockingly small...

    2. And you'll most likely settle for a small place because bigger the place, bigger the hole in your pocket.

    3. There is no such thing as a spacious balcony to sit, stand, chill, or dry your laundry in.

    4. Getting over the Delhi metro will take a while 'cause let's be real, local trains tear you apart, mentally and physically.

    5. If you're attempting to board a local, think of your body as a competitive sperm that's gonna push other sperms aside to win.

    6. You're going to have newfound respect for autorickshaw drivers here because they charge by the meter and not by bid price.

    7. People around you will overreact to "Bombay winter" and you'll judge them 'cause you've been through ~real~ extreme conditions.

    8. You'll miss the convenience of hopping on to one of these.

    9. You will have to settle for Bombay's bootleg version of Delhi's aloo tikki chaat.

    10. The version of butter chicken served here is blasphemous compared to the genuine kind from Moti Mahal.

    11. And possibly no Mumbaikar around you will understand your love for authentic momos.

    12. Colaba Causeway and Hill Road street shops will never satisfy you like the vast spectrum of choices at Sarojini Market did.

    13. There are no bowered, pretty, wide-ass roads in here.

    14. Though not entirely non-existent, eve-teasing is relatively less rampant so you'll get to feel a lot safer on the streets.

    15. You'll get desensitised to being starstruck with celebs because you will spot them way too frequently around here.

    16. Nobody says "tu jaanta nahi mera baap kaun hai" in an altercation on the road.

    17. You will be met with renewed bafflement every time Ganpati Chaturthi hits this place.

    18. There are no scrap dealers screaming "kabaadiwaleeeeya" in the streets, to buy the raddi straight from your house.

    19. You'll miss the road trips to Dharamshala, McLeod Gunj and Kasauli.

    20. Because now your long weekends will comprise trips to Alibagh, Lonavala and some unmade plans of a trip to Goa.

    21. People around you will say "fuckall". A lot. And you'll miss overusing "shady" in daily conversations.

    22. And this is probably the worst adjustment you'll have to make: your fave ₹5 Fun Flips don't exist here.

    But all differences aside, you've lived in two of the most baller cities in India you're a total tope for doing so.
