You know you're in Delhi when....

I was sitting idle yesterday and came up with the 'You know you're in' series. These are supposed to be about my take on a particular city.

Will add more when I remember. None of the stuff I write in these series is to offend anyone, it's to be taken with a pinch of salt and a whole lot of chuckles.

You know you're in Delhi when....
