A person IS, in large part, their place and this is strikingly true of us. So much so that in many communities the name of your family village, birth place, or place of origin is folded into your name and is carried through the generations, even though this makes less and less sense among a globalized, itinerant, and spreading South Asian diaspora today (New Jersey Rajagopalan? For that matter, Kal Penn?). However, with a collective global nation that numbers well over a fifth of the world’s 7 billion, every nook and cranny is a social space! So, more so than our places of origin, it’s our places of frequency, the hangouts, gulleys, hoods, and adda’s, that hold those special places in our hearts and those central places in our conversations.

On the chath, children play many games, including Vish Amrit and Ice Pice. Clever and athletic denners can keep a large group of screaming children enthralled with the prospect of capture.
Then there's kite flying. This latter one can be of the harmless variety, where engsters gaze at the soaring kite on the end of a string, their uncles and fathers looking on with approval, or the less benign kind, involving a deel and manja and other chaths, engaged in chath-to-chath kite warfare across the neighborhood.
From your chath redoubt you can gaze safely out upon the busy urban landscape, contemplating electric wires (which may snag and dangerously end the aforementioned kite flying), the traffic, wildlife (including monkeys, crows, small worms in the tulsi plant, the occasional parrot, and sometimes a maimed mouse), and then the people themselves, who will appear multitudinous yet miniature, like toys.

Mumbai now has its own logo. Issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) the logo is supposed to represent Mumba Devi, the deity the city is named after. "Majhi Mumbai" or "my Mumbai" is the slogan on the logo.
Indian obsession with a woman's maternal role (see above mother there is no other) is clearly visible in the city's logo where a blue dot atop a black circular outline of arms denotes a mother embracing a white flower, symbolic of a child it simms.
If you ask us, it looks like a Fatty Bombalatty fellow rubbing his stomach after consuming jalebi mixed with a small ganja leaf or a post-prandial Mumbaikar ambling around Chaupati after eating Bhelpuri!

Some call it a collection of villages.
Has extreme weathers and a strong immigration culture making it a truly Indian city. So there are punjabi, sindhi, bengali, bihari, madrasi, chinki, african and tibetan ghettos among others.
It is also the city will most roundabouts, most things are gol gol in Delhi, from the Parliament to the India Gate circle and to the way the Government functions.
Other mammoth like ungli-ready cities of India have changed their name to their "original" names when they had perfectly normal names like Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and Bangalore.
No, the ungli-readies had to go with ridiculous pronunciations of those names and rename them Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkotta and Bengarurururururuluru or something.
Delhi is confident enough to let people call it what they want and logical enough to know that people who speak different languages will pronounce words differently.

However, now the term 'rave party' is used loosely by conservative gorement officials and brandished by morally righteous parents to refer to any gathering of young people engaging in fun and frolic considered threatening to traditional Hindu values.
Rave parties have been in the news lately as IPL players were tested positive for drug use at these parties and in a absurd lapse of judgment, the Karnataka Government threw its own rave party to boost international tourism, much to the chagrin of everyone else, as so called foreigners were found having sex and putting kai in public at the party: Check out this link..
