exactly..

How many of these apply to you??

YOU KNOW U ARE FROM KALIMPONG/DARJEELING/SIKKIM/NEPAL WHEN... 

U can literally ask whether someone would like to "EAT WATER"!! (eg. Paani Khane??)..or Booze!!! (Raksi khane??)...or even a KICK..(Laat khanu manparyo??)

U know what "ALOO DUM" is, and u have definitely tasted it!!

And u would rather stand outside in the cold and relish Aloo dum (which btw u think is d best potato delicacy in d universe) than to go in an air conditioned MacD's rite across d street and have burger n fries.

3 out of your 5 friends can play guitar... the remaining two have also given it a try at some point or the other.

The moment you're a floor over the Ground Floor preferably a balcony, you tend to look down and SPIT

You look up when you hear an airplane.

You point with your lips.

Whenever you meet someone you ask, "Have you had your food?" (bhat khayou?)

You meet someone in a movie hall and ask, "Have you come to watch a movie?" (movie hernu ayeko?)

You miss churpi and tituara almost any given day.

You are good at drunk driving, especially on motorcycles...

Your conversation with anyone you just met, always ends up being an interview to unearth the degree of association with this person. (eh...Ghar ka hare?? gangtok? Tyeso bhaye timile xyz lai chinchhau??)

90% of the time you end up knowing someone who knows someone who knows the person.

The remaining 10% of the time the person is your relative. 

Your American friends ask you if you have climbed mount Everest.

You probably haven't even seen mount Everest. 

You love the pungent, fermented smell of pickled bamboo shoots (tama) and dried and aged vegetable leaves (gundruk) + you are drooling at the thought right now.

· U greet your friends saying... "Yess bro!!" even though there seems to be no logical or grammatical justification to the phrase.

U try to look elsewhere when u see a pretty female heading your way
