You Know You Are a Small-Town Girl When….

Can we just say that this is the most perfect description of a small-town girl possible: “Choti ungli pe nachaayegi tujhe, she’s a small town girl!” Not because we are naturally nasty, but because we’ve had to work hard to get what we want, we tend to be a little more feisty and street-smart than big-city girls. Here are a few signs that you are a small-town girl at heart!

You Know you are a small town girl when....

1. You know everyone in your hometown and everyone knows you.

2. The traffic situation in the big city is no big deal for you since you are used to much worse: no traffic signals, completely unruly traffic, no lane system, and navigating around stationary cows and dogs.

3. You’ve always dreamt of moving to the big city and studying at fancy schools and colleges and having a cool-sounding job.

4. You’re still getting used to the fact that your neighbours in the city don’t care about you at all; back home, every aunty in town made it her job to interfere in your life 😛

7. You didn’t grow up shopping at malls and going to expensive birthday parties. Social life in your hometown still revolves around the same old club where everyone celebrates their birthdays and anniversaries!

8. The club also throws rain dances once in a while.

15. There were no special shops for books, stationery, clothes, accessories and supplies. Raj General Store was your one-stop destination for everything.

16. You and all your friends celebrated the day that the first mall opened in your town. You’re still slightly surprised by the sight of McDonald’s when you pass by it.

17. Locking the main door during the day is still not a practice your parents indulge in. Everyone is welcome and thieves know better than to rob your dad who is friends with Sharmaji whose second cousin is the Police Commissioner’s uncle.
