I live in South Mumbai or town side as its more commonly known. People here are Different from the rest of Bombay. They're like a totally different species from the usual bunch you find in the other parts of the city. Live here for a while and you Become the city. A few signs to let you know you're turning into a Townie:
1) You actually think "Sophia" college is pronounced "So-fa-ya" and not "So-fee-ya"
2) You go to Cafe Royale and know every item on the menu with 6% alcohol or more
3) You Have a really nice car, but everyone's looking at the chick in the passenger seat with you
4) You have a really nice chick
5) You have an accent, even if you're 13 and have never been outside the country
6) You know all streets by their Anglicized names, and a Cabbie wouldn't know where to go if you used any other variant
7) as far as you're concerned, Mumbai City is what's south of VT station
8) Whenever you travel by a local train, you're in an empty compartment by the window seat, and people moving in the opposite direction are either squashed into a giant sardine can on wheels or are above the train dodging electrical cables
9) If you want to take a trip to the sea-side all you have to do is walk for a couple of minutes as opposed to planning an outing and driving there
10) You're biggest worry is which pub/disc/club to go to on a Saturday night
