Disclaimer: You might be angry after reading this OR you might not care but if you have no clue of what we are talking about then you are just not from Banswara, and you shall receive an introductory tour on my too-cool-for-words electric bike someday.
Me and my friend (shall remain anonymous, as she is single and has hopes to marry someday) have come up with this uniqe list during one of our many sleep overs during our recent trip to the beloved village/town of ours- BANSWARA. The possibility is atleast one/more/all will be true if you are from Banswara (even if you dont live there)
You know you are from Banswara when.......
1. You communicate by making a face or sound and ur first reaction to everything is to disagree.
2. Your mom hides all the dry fruits (kaaaju-badaam-pista) that your dad sent from Kuwait only to feed you secretly when noone is loooking.
3. You are considered very highly educated if you studied at "St. Pauls Convent".
4. Amri Gandi, Shadulla, Moga, Bobri Banu and Painter+wife- you know atleast one of them.
5. You have gone on a date to Novelty or Danpur Mishthan Bhandaar at some point. (*guilty)
6. You go to Ahmedabad for every tiny bit of medical problem you have or u think u do.
7. One or more of your relatives have sworn to death to never talk to you again, for a reason you both dont remember any more.
8. You know atleast one girl who had eloped or is planning to. (I do)
9. You burst crackers for every other reason (if a baby is born, if someone returns from a trip, if your son came from Kuwait, if you are bored, lights are off...etc)
10. You know people by their embarassing nick names prolly related to some defects on his/her face or body ...talk abt brutal!!
11. Everybody u know has a capability of becoming a mimic or a stand up comedian within seconds.
13. You strongly beleive that everything goes wrong coz someone has an evil eye on you. (that diarrhoea was not coz of the shitty pani puri u ate at kushal bagh, it was EVIL EYE!!!)
14. You eat "Gaakhar" and daal gosht on special occassions.
15. You think you are highly sophisticated compared to other "wagad" people.(Damn right!! we r better than u Partarpuris)
16. You tend to take insults better than compliments.
17. You have gone to dargah for a picnic and not for religeous purposes. (*guilty)
18. You think riding an auto rikshaw with your entire clan mounted one on top of the other (and the fortunate/unfortunate kids right upto drivers lap) is the best value for money and more fun (so what if its dangerous and suffocating).
19. You sit outside your house with your other neighbors to discuss any human (or cow) that passes by and you still keep saying: I am not the kind of person who bothers about others.
20. You add- "ayi ayi" or "aa zu" or "ago za" or "ago mar" or "alee bai" to the start or end of your sentences.
21. You have atleast one picture of urself at the "most ultra happening-hot spot"-- the Kagdi pickup. (I have 5 :p)
I love where am from even though it can be nerve wrecking to deal with the likes of my own. I miss my place and people though I cant wait to return the moment I land. And I may feel like I cant take it anymore, I'd still blog about it!! I may have lived in Kuwait from the time I was born but if anybody asks, I am from Banswara (escuse me, for I need to make a sad crying face using my lips, nose n eyelids)
