You Are Hear: The Spooken Delhi

"Are you a delight?"
"Umm depends…"
"Then where are you from?"

"I believe in mouth to mouth publicity."
"How is it done?"
"Arre, I tell you, you tell someone else and so on."

"You like Undie TV?"
"What's that?"
"Uff, that English channel with Barkha Dutt."

"Sir, you need urine taste."
"Ughh."
"Oh it is better than blood taste."

"Your pant is wet."
"I don't think so."
"See it is also leaking."
"What?"
"Please put sticker on your door so nobody touch wet pant."

"Myself in garment service."
"You mean 'business'?"
"No, Delhi State Garment, Primary Health Department."

"You have balls?"
"F'course"
"Okay, get them for ice cream."

"Please sir, entry from backside."
"Why?"
"If others see they make problem. Today trader strike, no."

  1. Hilarious! The only one I didn't get was balls and icecream. But yes, I've heard variations of every other snippet at some point or another in Delhi.

    Undie TV indeed!
