Twitterlok! Tell me what you miss about Mumbai life. Not the usual stuff - trains, vada pao, seaface. But sweet little things that matter maybe just to you. I miss:
1. Shopping at Phoenix Zara & hearing 'Yusuf, pliss come to the cash counter' on their intercom every 10 mins.

All of the servers at Rama Nayak, King's Circle, who call me 'Dinosaur Madam'.
(Long story. Don't Ask)
(Long story. Don't Ask)
Parel's extra long traffic signal, during which people pop their head INTO the taxi, see that I'm sitting in it, then ask the driver, 'Khali Hai kya?'
Alam, who gives cheap and best ladies haircuts at Colaba Jawed Habib, which he calls 'Wash & Wear'. Meaning I don't have to style it.
Mother Mary Juice Centre in Kala Ghoda, whose Rs 30 Beetroot-Carrot-Lemon juice (no ice) I have had so often, they now start prepping when they see me smilingly approach.
CALLING PEOPLE 'BOSS'!
Trying to guess, as the train rolls into Borivali, whether it will stop at the old or new platform, and how much closer I'll be towards the Dahisar end.
Taking JJ flyover and smelling nankhatai when I'm over Suleman Usman, and smelling smoky ghosht when I'm over Al Rehmani.
Yaar.
Yaar.
Getting mad excited if the Metro is passing over and across the flyover I'm on.
Billboards on the WEH. Esp the gimmicky ones that light up or have moving parts. As long as my city is trying to sell me something, I feel it's doing all right.
The tang tang tang tang sound of pao bhaji being prepared on that HUGE tava.
Hot MM Mithaiwala dhoklas outside Malad West station. Yes yes their lassi is good. But I like dhokla.
The KFC lane on Linking Road and the hundreds of trendy kids who know exactly what they're shopping for.
Pronouncing it HewJizz Road so that the taxi driver understands. #NotGonnaFightThatFight
That SUPERFAST cash-for-parchhi exchange at the Sea-Link toll. They have the right change for every denomination. And I always yell my thanks a microsecond too late!
Two-wheeler dudes who are dressed so dope. With bike sticker that says Aai Tuzhaa Aashirvad.
Saying stuff like 'Khaali Fukkat Ka Magajmaari' dismissively.
