Yeh Dilli Hai -Part 2 :

Dellhiwallhas: And now few words about the people. It’s said that 50% of Delhites are VIP’s and rest 50% are known to VIP’s. A typical Delhi wallah is aggressive competitive, believe in getting the work done ( By any means off couseJ ) and loves to celebrate life in his own way by public display of wealth ,and emotions. He is open to everyone irrespective of caste, creed, region or religion the bottom line being it’s should be profitable for everyone.
The zeal, the highly energy levels and happiness from within is unmatched and he lives on the motto of work hard and party harder.
Another particular trait of Delhi Guys is their quest for networking, so next time u meet a Delhi wallha outside Delhi , probably the first question you would hear would be , “ Any more Delhi guys around here?”J
Politics : Well if Mumbai lives by Sensex then Delhi definitely lives by Sanasd . It’s a national hobby of every Dilliwala to dissect analyze and comment upon latest geo political scenarios and as mentioned above half of the Delhi population is VIP and rest are know n to a VIP every political move is taken close to heart J

Climate and Culture : Delhi is a city of extremes , If its summer , you sweat like the newly Inaugurated Dam with water rushing out from every pour of the body , And when its cold , the only difference you can find between the south Pole and Delhi is absence of Snow
There is no other feeling like sitting in A Rajai and sipping red hot Tomato soup and discussing India’s Politics with TV switched on at Full volume and a news reader reading out the entire day’s news in the back ground.
And in summers, taking a nap under the dense shade of a Neem tree in a community park ,after savoring safeda aam and playing a tiring match of cricket.

And some words about culture:, Its amalgamation of people from different region section and levels of society . Punjabi Boastfulness exists equally with the South Indian Intellect. Anyone who comes here become a Delhiwallah. Delhi is for everyone.

Delhi Music: Punjabi Pop rules, Karan Johar’s flicks sell like hot cakes, SRK is God and despite recent likings to English Rock , pop and Jazz .Venga Boyz and Daler still rules the wedding bands. In fact inclusion of any song in a Delhi Wedding band is the greatest honor the piece of music can get from people of Delhi

Delhi Weddings : One must attend at least one Delhi wedding in his life time.
They are the 5 days extravaganza , it begins with Kirtan or Jagran (A whole night public broadcast of your religious allegianceJ) , then there are ceremonies with peculiar names like Mehndi ki Raat , Mundoyoon ki Shaam( bachelor’s night) followed with wedding Baraat and ending with a reception with wine dine and dance.
Pages can be written about these wedding but one must watch out for specially Delhi Wedding Bands , mixing with ease Punjabi Pop and songs from latest bollywood block busters. “Taqila” and “Yeh desh hai veer jawanoon ka” are mandatory numbers
And At the end of the Barraat is a Maruti Omni van usually Driven by some one known as shoki, vickki or Bunty and has unlimited supply of liquor.
People come to back pep themselves up and go in front and dance till they drop in the front and then come back again .Also Never miss a sight of overweight ladies loaded with heavy weight ornaments moving hapzardly in 2 meters of radius in a zig zag fashion and describing these elegant movements as dance ,But yes it is something to be loved and admired for its sheer innocence and happiness.

To Conclude, Delhi is like a Bollywood superstar lot of show biz , lot of glamour, layers of makeup , multiple role plays , shades of white and shades of green , A couple of flops and number of hits but in the end even the bollywood star turns out to be a simple human in the night on his bed and do note that Delhi goes to bed a bit earlier than rest of India J.
