Indori Midas

Well I should first of all filter the readers as they may not expect some good English here nor some 'vocab' words so, the students appearing for CAT, GMAT, GRE, TOEFL and likewise highly intellectuals may skip reading this.

In English Literature there is a very famous quote that
“To Err Is Human” but it is modified in Indori Shtyle as
“To Aeeeeein Is To Indori”


This accent mixed with a multiplicity of tone variations has many features which Indori people use as their shield in many situations, like
when they are Surprised, when they are Confused, when they Agree deeply and this Aeeeein is also used as a replacement for “Pardon Me”, I couldn’t hear you or “Come Again”.

So you see how expressive and multitalented Indoris are. Well for our non-lndori readers, you can easily qualify to get into this category as there is no eligibility criteria or qualification required to get into this bracket.

Probably the only one you need is to alter your accent with some add-on special words like “Aur Kya Bhiya”, “Knee Ho Payega” and many other slangs. Most Importantly you will have to develop a complete love for street food.

Well talking about food, there are some things that you will find only here. I am not talking about the Sophisticated 5 stars in vogue, they don’t represent the true spirit of Indore, I am talking about our Birthright Food- Sev, Poha, Jalebi, Samosa, Kachori. I can imagine the Saliva revolving around your Spice loving Palettes. This is what makes Indore different from other cities. We may not be the Commercial Capital of India or officially recognised as a Metropolitan city, but in the food industry no one can beat us. If you eat the same food in any other part of the country you may realise that the "Midas Touch" is missing.

Despite the Auto-Correct feature continuously retaliating me with my illegitimate slangs, I couldn't control myself for expressing the non-communistic love for my city.

I remembered the signature day in college while reading this, the word that hit me was "Kachouri". I still remember the the words you wrote on my shirt "No Sabzi only Senv Kachouri".
