Hi I am from delhi! ..hi I am from mumbai!!.
Since the time i have come to this place. The only two cities from which people hail are mumbai, and delhi. It appears the other cities in India don't even exist. I am not sure why people fear telling where they belong. Dude there is a difference between the place of work and your home. The former was the place where you were planted when you matured to grow further, the later is the place where you got those strong roots that help you make a niche for yourself anywhere.
Just dig a little deep and you realize wow the guy belongs somewhere where I actually am from and you have a certain momentary sense of nostalgia. I mean I do. The job really keeps you away from that place and meeting somebody from the same place takes you back in time, and all of us have loads and loads to share.
The other cities are like distant unconnected civilizations of the mesopotamian era when people knew they exist, but never thought they could be better or equals. Forget the villages and towns, they are like long lost islands (one of those where you can actually make CAST away. The beauty of a country is not how similar it is across it's length and breadth, but how fast the canvass changes, the language the people and lots of things change. Travel teaches you how to appreciate all this.
I am pretty much sure, most of them never stepped out from their home other than going to school, college and then work and now back to college.
Being from the Two cities has a snob value, good lord,,help them overcome this stupidity...they too are your kids, kindly give more attention to them..seems you have neglected them till now.
