To live in\u00a0Gurgaon, India, is to make a statement. Being a resident of\u00a0this southern suburb of Delhi portrays you as\u00a0rich, upwardly mobile, modern and supposedly progressive.<\/p>\n

However, there are some things that most people would find amusing, if not outright weird about\u00a0life in Gurgaon.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of things that only a ‘Gurgaonite’ would understand:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You are used to ‘home delivery’ for everything\u2026 including medical tests, chopped vegetables, haircuts, massages and a bikini wax.<\/li>\n
  2. Your life revolves around the word Cyber\u2026 Cyber Greens, Cyber City, Cyber Park, Cyber Hub\u2026<\/li>\n
  3. The words ‘Glitzy Building’ and ‘Dirt Road’ seem associated somehow.<\/li>\n
  4. You don’t flinch paying a hundred bucks to park in a landfill.<\/li>\n
  5. You are used to taking a 5 km detour to drive to the point opposite you on\u00a0the highway.<\/li>\n
  6. 100% power backup is the first qualifying factor when choosing a house.<\/li>\n
  7. You drive 100 meters to the main gate of your\u00a0condo, to drop your kids\u00a0to their school bus.<\/li>\n
  8. Your neighbours have been living next to you for 4 years. Yet, you have no clue who they are.<\/li>\n
  9. Your maids just arrived from Malda or Murshidabad, and all\u00a0of them have a ration card, voters card and an Aadhar card, while\u00a0you’re still waiting for yours.<\/li>\n
  10. You have no qualms driving up to an open roadside bar in your BMW, then sitting on a ‘khatiya’ and drinking imported liquor, surrounded by cows and buffaloes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/h5>\n
    Got stuff to add to this list? Add it\u00a0in the comments below.<\/h6>\n
