10. You believe firmly that Mumbai might have the rich, Delhi might have the powerful people, Bangalore might have its techies but the REAL intellectuals live in Kolkatta
9. You grew up with you two names - one official one and one good name .The good name will embarrass you as you grow up but will remain for the rest of your life
8. Bandhs are normal to you and part of life. In fact, all bandhs are on Monday or Friday and published in advance so you can make travel reservations. Work can always wait....that is left to to those always busy Mumbaikars
7. You love sweets - period. No meal is complete without it sometimes it is a meal by itself.
6. You recognize easily that you are entering a Bengali neighbourhood by the aroma (smell to others maybe) of mustard oil.
5. You can call any guy a Dada irrespective of the fact that you might have a romantic interest in him
4. Every street has its own Phuchka valla (okay golgappas to the hoi polloi) and everyone claims he is the best one in town. The same is true for rolls too or any food, for that matter!
3. You know the best pandals in town and Pujo is the best time to shop irrespective of religion.
2. You have the answers to every issue in the world and can discuss them passionately in the "adda"(Of course, none of them get implemented in your own city)
and the number one way of recognizing a Kolkattan (drum roll please)
