Immortals of Indore

So here I am, back to my home town... the city of love, the city of food... Indore.

This city has seen my childhood and my adulthood, and in the same way I have seen a lot about this city- the people, the places, and the stories. Each and everything is imprinted in my memory. Now every time I visit this city, I see some changes... population is growing, it is losing its peace, it is developing with rapid speed and there are a lot of things that have changed the face of this city, but at the same time the heart and soul of the city is still the same... they are immortal. This pure heart and soul keeps this city in a special category and that is the reason why most of the outsiders comes here once, never want to leave this place and people like me want to come and visit it again and again.

1. If you are talking about Indore and you are not mentioning the food, then you know nothing about this place. People here love to eat, this is one of the place in the country where you will never have problem with food as food from each and every part of the country is available here. But, you have to modify it in little spicy form otherwise your food will be a big failure here. 

2. Poha and Jalebi in the morning and Pan shops in evening are a part of life here. They are not just eating joints, they are heart and soul of this city. 

3. People here are modern, but at the same time very much attached to their roots. One from cities like Delhi or Mumbai may call them as small town mentality people, but it is something that they are proud of!

4. In this city, social activities really means social activities... those activities are not limited to a club or society. Here, neighbours know each other and they know how to celebrate as well as support each other very well.

5. Indori Language, you probably aware of Mumbaiya, Bhopali and Bihari tones of Hindi... I would like to invite you to enjoy another tone, which is Indori... a unique, funny, and interesting way of speaking Hindi. Search of youtube you will love it. 

6. Most important immortal of Indore is that people know how to enjoy life, they are not just busy in making money or running fast with the pace of life... they know how to cherish it and enjoy little moments of joy.

7. People here love to have small fights, specially on roads when they are driving or sitting in public transport. It starts without any good reason and always (mostly) ends with both parties ending up smiling and having cup of tea together... 

8. Barber shop are men's gossiping points many guys just go there to talk about all issues like social, personal, love, movies or anything under the sun. You will never get bored if you are at any barber shop. 

9. Most important thing about this city which is noticed by everyone is that people here are welcoming and open minded. You will never see people fighting over language, state or any other issue that you see around. Also, they love to have guests and insists you to be a part of their evening as and when possible. 

...these are some of the immortals of Indore from many, I hope I will share some more with you soon.
