Don't Like Delhi? Kiss My Ass

Most of the people in India do not hold a very good opinion of the place (for reasons I don’t really understand). Given below are the top 5 reasons offered to me by most Indians as to why Delhi sucks:

1) Arrogant people
2) The city is full of cheats
3) No nightlife / Is not cool enough
4) Too hot / Too cold
5) Lack of infrastructure

Now lets look at all these reasons objectively.

Arrogant People: Yes, this city has arrogant people. So are you trying to tell me that the city you live in does not have any? Arrogance mostly is directly proportional to power or money. In Delhi you have many people with either of these; or in most cases both. I can’t help it if your city is full of powerless poor people. If the first 2 people you bump into happen to be arrogant in your perception, sorry mate you are too sissy.

City is full of cheats: Yes, the city is full of cheaters. Every kid cheats his mom when he steals that candy from the kitchen, or money from dad’s wallet. Every man cheats his boss / customers everyday when on work. Every women cheats when she tells people that she has lost weight. Every one amongst the youth cheats when they try to get a drink at a pub when they are in fact under-aged as per law. Yes, all of this is true of Delhi… and in your city too!!! So cut the crap. Caveat Emptor… End of story.

No nightlife / Is not cool enough: Yes, Delhi has no nightlife. In fact the roads are empty at 6 in the evening and everybody goes to sleep at that time. All those who believe what I have written above are requested to jog in the middle of any Delhi road at 7. Please get your insurance before you do this. In case you did not find any nightlife during your trip to Delhi, either you were not with the right people or you did not have enough dough to spend. Period.

It’s too hot / Too cold: Buy an air conditioner or a room heater. Stop whining.

Lack of Infrastructure: Just Shut Up. Delhi has the best roads in India, Metro, Signal-less Ring Road. What are you talking about? Electricity and water are problems in every city worth its salt. Buy a UPS and get private water supply or get a boring pump. Act like a real man.

That was the most objective analysis on Delhi that I have done so far. I feel good.

Cheers.

To this I would say Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! The most amazing review of Delhi I have ever heard. And those stupid, ignorant, dimwitted cockroachcunts who comment on Delhi without stayin for more than a coupla lousy business hours. Worst are the women, who get molested in NOIDA, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gurgaon which are areas OUTSIDE Delhi and come and speak shit about the place. I know I sound chauvinistic. Frankly I don't give a fuck. Kindly excuse the discreet use of profanity.

Awesome! My feelings exactly!

Just for the heck of saying something here, I have lived in Bangalore and have had a short visit to Hyderabad as well as Pune. I can tell you that if you come from Delhi, No other place even comes close to beating it! Delhi is faaaaaaaar better than all these places with all its shortcomings included!

What crap..You don't get a bus on Sunday from Gurgaon to main Delhi after 6p.m. And educated people behave like uneducated when boarding a bus by pushing others.I am not saying this happens only in Delhi but the city doesn't deserve a review like this.

Hi Vasu

Thanks for posting your comment. My "review" is meant to be biased.

When I wrote "the most objective review" it was a satire of sort. Maybe I am harping the obvious but this "review" is supposed to be taken in a lighter vein.
