When we talk about India, the one thing which is inseparable in the discussion is talking about the most traditionally and culturally diverse state, Uttar Pradesh..!! It is the India's most important and one of the oldest significant places having perennial rivers, dense forest cover and fertile soil. It is politically the most significant places as it has highest lok sabha seats and one other hand, its also Gunda-raaj state and is in the news always for wrong things as well.. On one hand it is homeland of the vintage Kathak dance, and on the other hand we will see people notoriously dancing naagin-dance, peacock dance, etc on any occasion.. On one hand it had a glorious history of good over evil by Lord Rama, Krishna; and on the other hand, it is a land of eternal love depicting the royal Taj Mahal in Agra. On one hand U.P. is heartland of the famous-delicious-irresistable street food and chaats; and on the other hand rich and sophisticated dine-in cuisines like Awadhi and Mughlai food resides here. Here, accent, language, eshtyle and tradition changes in every few kms range.
But again, as my last post, the place is known mostly by the people living in it, and believe me, I have spent all my life till now in U.P., it's the land of most funny and interesting people you will ever meet.. :P. Infact each individual, be it a child, adult, older people and every one has a significant UP waala touch which is very easy to make out. UPites calls themselves 'Bhaukalis', meaning All Rounders, even if some of them know nothing but 'hum kisise kam nahi'-attitude hai bhaisaab..!! A typical UPite is a very soft spoken person who believes his guests are equivalent to God, only till you don't bother them, or else they are prone to violence, more like the Chulbul Pandey dabang types. They are the inventors of supreme level of hateful slangs, also including relations in their abuses... lol.. They believe in the motto "Jaan jaye par shaan na jaye" and will do anything to safeguard their integrity. Another feature of a UPite is that they won't pay a penny from their pockets easily and always run for discounts and free gifts (be it a male or female :P ) and the same tradition is passed on to each of their children as well. You will see them eating excessively in other's party but becomes a careful spender when it comes to giving their own..lol, and so, they will be commonly seen near food stall in weddings or the famous paan shop, taking huge bites of juicy paans and making their mouth full reddish. Women here are some of the world's best cooks ever, fast learners and likes to keep n-number of weekly/monthly fasts either for peace of the family or to get a good husband and follow family traditions by choice. And.. children, uff...they are menace! Love to eat anything and everything under mom's kitchen and keep their mothers always busy in making parathas, pakodas, paneer, aloo-puri, etc..etc..!!. People say often that 'U.P. waale hai, thappad lagate der nahi lagegi', 'U.P. waale hai badi duur ki pohoch hai, koi kaam hai to bas phone kar dena, aatank macha denge'..and so on...they make lot of loud comments ;).. On the contrary, they say 'hum' instead of mai(me) which sounds more polite and cute as well..and will say 'Raam-Raam' or 'Radhey-Radhey' for greeting people in general. The funniest part is, we UPites believes that all our sins will be washed away if we bathe in Holy Ganga river (which is not so holy anymore, thanx to UP waale only). It is further said that any one kid of UP family has to belong to a political party or be an IAS officer, and hence you will see maximum UPites being highly Jugaadiya in nature and can make any work done in minutes by hook or crook.
Baaki to bhai... Shivji, Raam ji ki kirpa hai jisse jindagi kat rahi hai bas, aur kuch nahi chahiye (but they are ready to take anything which is profitable ;) under the desk...,u know what I mean..lol). All in all, they have a big heart and big smile which they wear always, and stay happy in whichever situation they are because we believe that fikar ko maaro goli, let's play holi.. ;) :P
Maximum support of this article goes to my family itself which is almost a typical UPite..lol... But still, to give a larger view, my lovely friends supported me a lot. Since, U.P. is too big a state to describe, I will bifurcate it into few parts as well.. So watch out this blog for more interesting news :)
