a.k.a. This Townie Gets No Brownie
OJ: Hey, you went to Khandala?
BFF: Yeah, office off-site. Ghattu went too.
OJ: Oh fun! His first trip out of Bombay!
BFF: Not really, he’s been to [the Boy’s former suburban home], no?
Reserve your judgement, people. As a teenager, I used to have a pen-pal in Andheri. We even met once.
Oh my gosh, you’re s-u-c-h a towniee !! 😛
Don’t lunge for my throat, this is what my fellow burbies in Xavier’s used to say to all South Bombay types
Such an awesome sense of geography you South Bombay types have!!!!
How is the cuddlesome Ghattu doing?
You will never know where I grew up. People would ask me if we received Doordarshan Channel 2. hmpf!
Shivani: Wait….you’re a XAVIERITE? 😀
dipali: Ghatlet the Cutlet has learned to: a) walk b) clap c) charm the pants off all and sundry to get what he wants. And today is his first birthday party!
Anamika: Oh tell, tell! I just learned about the existence of a place called Charkop on Saturday, so I may as well expand my horizons further, non? 🙂
I was once asked by a guy “So how does one get to Thane?” (That is where I come from)
And I said “The same train that goes to your Dadar goes to Thane as well” 😛
😀
LOL!
Charkop, eh… is it too soon to mention such remote outposts as Chakala, Vidya Vihar and Govandi ?
hahahaha 🙂
This was delicious!
G: One of my favorite people lives in Thane. My masseuse. 😀
wordjunkie: I will have you know I have a fair indication of the whereabouts of Chakala. Ahem! *scuttles off before WJ can actually test her.*
Nino’s Mum: Oh I am much improved, Nino’s Mum. Growing up, Bandra was a day trip. Now I stun my family and friends by traipsing off to Juhu for the occasional evening. 😉
Yo! The same Xavier’s of the quadrangle, Malhar & Janfest fame 🙂 Et tu?
No wonder you’re so cool 😀
Shivani: I’m COOL? 😀 Didja hear that, world? I’m COOL!
I even went to Fashion Week yesterday and looked suitably bored, so take that!
Arjun is, umm, geographically challenged as well… After explaining to him exactly which suburb we live in, he patiently asks me, ‘Yes, but when are you taking me to live in Mumbai?’
*Grin*
Boisar, Badlapur, Asangaon. All are within reach, so buy your dream “weekend getaway” home now! 🙂
Actually, I’m serious.
Nitya: Told ya he was smart. 🙂 So Mommy Nitya, when are you bringing him to Bombay?
faredoon: So is the Rann of Kutch. Take a hike! 😛
And did you forget? I’m such a hardcore “Thane-ite”. Thane rocks!
faredoon: Yeah right, Grant Road boy! Don’t you forget I have the dirt on you.
😀 yeah – thats what we say when we go to Gurgaon to visit friends
the mad momma: But G-gaon is out of Delhi, non? It’s in a whole other state! 😕
@ OJ I’v been a townie and I’v stayed in Dadar as well _ i’v seen both sides of the fence 😛
@ Mad Momma I travel to and fro Haryana & delhi every day 😛
supmm: You know, these days the boundaries have stretched a bit. Lower Parel is now included in the definition and I’m pretty sure Dadar isn’t considered suburban either. Although for us old-schoolers, it’s an entirely different matter. 😉
