A dedication

It had been for such a long time that I wanted to share this discussion with you all people especially to all my close friends and acquaintances who were with me during my stint in Nagpur. We always used to feel that it was so important that we discussed amongst ourselves to have knowledge on the subjects we were living amongst. So here it is, all fully described and narrated with utmost sincerity.
I am talking about the people who thrive in the city of Nagpur. They are basically Maharashtrians but we used to refer them as ‘Matthas’. These people were quite unlike the people that you would find in other parts of India. They are lazy, lousy, blatant and unruly.

To analyse on the types and for better understanding I segregated them into 3 types:
1. Orthodox matthas
2. Zulu matthas
3. Mustang matthas

Orthodox matthas- Found in most numbers. These people are among the frustrated ceatures that thrive the land of Nagpur. They can easily be found in any offices, banks, colleges, factories and other places of common interests. You wont find it pleasing to talk to them for more than 2 minutes as either they will bore you out or they will torture you with their illogical discussion subjects. They are characterized by frowns and wrinkles marked all over their faces. They can be easily angered and frustrated and like to give out their full bark on anyone they find near them. These guys never leave Nagpur and consider the place as a cosmopolitan cities. Even if you are from Bombay/Delhi they refer to it as ‘gaon’(village). Their favourite dialogue is “tujha aila hepu, tujha behnila hepu”.

Zulu matthas- These are the most innocent and ignorant lot. There life passes on,
they grow, they reproduce, they die, yet they can’t figure out as why they were actually born. They are very silent in nature (specifically because they can’t understand what is going on around them) but if they get to know that they are being subjected as parts of laughter, then their frenzy takes toll of them and pour it on the people beside them and yet it would make no sense and you get another dose of laughter. Characterized by torn pants and shirts and unbrushed teeth, they can easily attract attention anywhere they go as they are one of a kind.


Mustang matthas- Pink bikes, brownish-orange streaked hair, grey colored glasses, tiger skin seat covers and a Himesh song whenever brakes are applied, these are the 20-35 year olds who zoom past you in the Shankarnagar square in Nagpur. They drink life to the lees and consider themselves at par with the best Casanovas in the world. With their dare devil biking skills they sure get themselves a G.F who can win the Miss Nigeria beauty contest. Their most favoured bike is the pink/orange Freedom but the yellow Passion works fine. They are cool and can eat poha with chopsticks.

This is my whole hearted effort, hope you appreciate it.
