Famous Nomenclatures and Caricatures

 Mylapore Mamis

They are residents of Mylapore in Chennai, with some typical characteristics. Not sure of all the distinguishing characteristics, but they could also be found elsewhere- Malleswaram in Bangalore is a likely place.

Dilliwalas

They are generally not so bad, but have a reputation for being over-the-top, aggressive and users of the phrase "Don't you know who I am?" (Tu jaanta nahi main kaun hoon?) when faced with a cop or other undesirable objects.

Hyderabadis

They are drowning in Irani chais and biryanis, without a care in the world. Could be true, particularly for male Hyderabadis. Kaiku, nahi ho sakte kya?

Puneri

For them, it's Bakarwadi and maybe a Misal. And an afternoon siesta, even if they have a business to run. That can wait. 

Mumbaikars

Running all the time, sometimes like headless chicken. Now that local trains have been shut, not sure how they manage to micromanage their arrivals and departures.

South Dilliwalis

They are sophisticated, and speak Hindi with an English accent, and English with a South Delhi accent. Reminds me, we had a gentleman from Buffalo, NY, who taught us at IIMB, who used to start a sentence in a Yankee accent and end it in a Punjabi accent! Not sure what Kamala Harris does!
