The Strictly Pretentious Capital

Delhi and ‘showing off’ are synonymous with each other to the extent that the first thing non-Delhiites have to say about this city is that people here have really loud mouths and an extremely egoistic attitude. There are several facets to this character of Delhi. Let’s delve a bit more on the issue. There’s no reason to take oneself so seriously and in such high regard.

All Hail Money. More Money. And More Money

“My car costs 85 lakhs.” “Look at my brand new solitaire worth a crore.” Such talks are not uncommon to hear in Delhi’s social circuit. All conversations here start with money and end at money. Spending comes naturally to Delhiites, and it’s something we are repeatedly criticised for. Starting from lavish parties to fashion shows, high profile auctions, etc.- all are a part and parcel of the city’s show off culture wherein money remains the centre of attention.

We Love To “Stay Connected”

Every party you attend in the capital will have people raving about how well-connected they are. The secret reason, apparently, is ‘friends’ in politics, fashion, Bollywood, philanthropy, etc. You name it and they got their little birdies everywhere. Just like Lord Varys in Game of Thrones. Only theirs is a facade.

Socialites And Their Sass

Page 3 parties are regular happenings in the city’s social circuit. Majority of the people comprising this society are just desperate to be seen in the papers standing next to some self-proclaimed celebrity. Every word that comes out of their mouth reeks of sheer desperation to show off. Faking friendships and allegiances comes almost naturally to them.
