Dec 2008.. On the day of assembly elections in New Delhi...
In my office lift two Hyderabadis talking to each other:
1st Guy: I heard that there are elections going on in Delhi today..
2nd : Yeah.. and along-with that being in the NCR region, Gurgaon and Noida are also having their elections..(Wow, I thought, so at least they know that there is a NCR region but dont knw that elections are held state-wise.. I chose not to interrupt..)
1st Guy: Are you sure.. ? How can it be possible.. Gurgaon and Noida are two separate states na..
(I smiled and was wondering where this conversation might be heading..)
2nd Guy: Who told you.. Noida is a separate state, but Gurgaon is part of New Delhi. So Gurgaon will have elections when they are held in New Delhi....
(Ohh.. So this was where it was heading to... Coool..!! I lived in delhi for 20-odd years and didnt know that there's a separate New delhi state too... :P )
