Every Nagpurian Must Read This: D Aamche Nagpur 😎;-) Highlight 1: language Hi-rathi( hi ndi + ma rathi) For example Hao. When we say hou we do not mean how we mean yes. It is derived from the Haan(hindi) + Ho(marathi)= Hao..Bingo!! Sahi means Good Bum Sahi means- very good Ek number means- excellent and MAHOL- means out of this world!! Actually you will find “Mahol” being used like water!!! “how’s my new dress..?” Mahol! “how was the movie?” Mahol! Abey kidhar means wassup? yeh apna raasta kidhar ko girta hai? doesn’t imply where the road falls but rather where it leads to!! Every old man is referred to as “Bawaji” and every other autowala, rickshawala, shopwala, etc as kaka . And no sentence is complete without Abey, yaar, saale, jaa naa bey!!! Highlight 2 : The weather The weather is a huge topic of discussion in Nagpur! We have 3 seasons- Summer, Wet Summer and Chilled summer! The most discusssed figures in Nagpur are the temperature figures! Aaj, 42 tha be..! Boss iss baar toh 50 cross karengaaich dekna!!! Abey kya AC , mera coolerich ghar ko ekdam thanda karata hai.. ekdam chilled... (bole toh 25 degree) And when the climate is hot can ice creams be far behind? Ice creams either mean the Haldiram softee, the Dinshaws ice creams and not to forget baraf ka gola!!! Highlight 3: Girls! No matter how they look, No matter how the weather is , No matter how they travel- You will never find a girl without the mandatory scarf on her face!!! Sun screen creams?? Chal Hatt! who needs them in Nagpur? if a girl happens to meet with an accident or hit someone, there will be 50 men trying to help her. But if it happens to be a guy then the same people will say- “ Kyaa re bhokney... dikhtaa nai kya..? Baap ka rasta smajha kya bey..?” (are u blind can’t u see, is it ur dad’s road?) LAD is the most wanted college here… Wonder if it is a coincidence that Wockhardt heart hospital is situated next to LAD girls college!! Highlight 4: food Oranges! The fruit we are most famous for! Though we grow them, yet we eat imported oranges, because all our homegrown ones get exported! And we do not get them cheaper at the local markets than any outdoor do.. We regularly visit temples here, not because we are very religious or god fearing, but because we get the best samosas and bread pakodas next to most temples!! Poha is “the” most heavenly food and when it comes with chana tarri it is divine! Actually to serve it without the tarri is crime!!! Naak bahe yaa aankh, dinner me toh chicken main chicken -- Saoji chicken!!!! Aalo bonda is our “Big Mac” and Soya milk our version of “Red bull”. Every Pavi bhaji cart is named “Srinath Pav Bhajiwala” The only thing other than god which is omnipresent in nagpur is the “pan tapri”. Every guy has his tapri and that is the first place you should look for him!! And never underestimate your friendly panwala, he may be a millionaire!! Highlight 5: Local Dance No baraat is complete without a Naagin dance!! You see, Nagpur is derived from Nag meaning snakes so we tend to take the name very seriously!!! Sandall dance is our Prom, and every occasion, whether it is Ganesh Chaturti, Navratri, Holi or in short wherever the occasion merits dholaks, we break into Sandall dance which is our own invention!! Even a smallest party with friends means, dinner accompanied by a small group dance!.. luv u nagpur...😎
