6 Things You Should Never Do When In Delhi

Arrogant, fiesty and hardcore momo lovers - this is exactly what non-Delhites think of us Dilliwalas. Well, today we’d like to clear the air and tell you guys that we Dilliwalas are much more than these stereotypes. We have a heart of gold and a smile brighter than the sun. We might hurl abuses in traffic sometimes but we’d be the first person to lend forward a helping hand whenever anyone needs it. However, there are a few things that really do trigger us and here’s a list of all of ‘em things that you should NEVER do while in Delhi. So, Non-Delhiites take some notes ‘cause we’re going to tell you 6 absurd things you should never do while in Delhi.

1. Don’t Ever Tell A Delhiite That The Big Chill Cafe Is Overrated

We Dilliwalas love our food more than anything and our fave eateries (read: The Big Chill Cafe) have a very special place in our hearts. And, if you hate on ‘em, we might take it personally, after all, who wouldn’t? The Big Chill is literally a foodie paradise and tumhe koi haq nahi ki tum use overrated kaho!

2. Never Say No To Breakfast At AMA Cafe

If a ‘good’ morning for you equals fluffy pancakes and delicious coffee then never say no to breakfast at AMA Cafe. Their amazing varieties of coffee, tea and shakes can make any day a good day. Not to mention the English, Himalayan or American breakfast options that are just yummy. Ah, we’re drooling already!

3. Don't Call Everyone "Bhaiya"

Although we Delhiwalas have a really cool slang and we take the utmost pride in introducing the world to words like ‘BT, Bhasad, Chull, Pataka, Chep, Jugaad, Kya scene hai aaj ka’; we still don’t appreciate using ‘bhaiya’ for everyone you come across the street.

4. Never Say Sarojini Sucks!

Doesn’t matter if you’re an avid shopaholic or not, Sarojini Nagar is one place that you should never criticise. This one is unequivocally a paradise for all shopaholics. From clothing to footwear, accessories to home decor, SN has it all and we won’t hear anything against it.

5. Never Tell Us How Oily & Unhealthy Chole Bhature Are!

We Dilliwalas just can’t have dal chawal every day, can we? There lives a bhukkad in us all whose love for chole bhature is unmatched. As soon as we spot a chole bhature wala, we know we have to stop by for a bite, and by ‘a bite’, we know we mean a plate or two! And well, we really don’t like when people tell us the calories in Chole Bhature ‘cause in the wise words of joy - ‘we’re curvy & we like it!’

6. Hop Onto The Crowded Metro When The Other One Can Arrive In The Next 2 Minutes

Delhi Metro is known as the lifeline of Delhi and we totally agree with this title as commuting would’ve been an utter nightmare without it. It has made travelling to faraway places a cakewalk and we’re really grateful for this magical invention. But, here’s our pro tip - Do not hop onto the crowded metro because a new one literally arrives every 2 mins. So, spare yourself from all the pushing and wait for the new one.

So, folks, which of these points do you agree with, the most?
