This week, comedian Sorabh Pant helps you with 10 Ways to Know You're From Chembur1. RK Studios is no longer a landmark. You're certain Raj Kapoor won't be dropping by any time

2. You are the only one who has seen, lived in or heard of a 'row house' in this crowded 1/2 bedroom city.
3. You hate film-crazy Lokhandwala for stealing your thunder. A filmy thunder which hasn't thundered for over 30 years.
4. The BMC sends you Christmas cards saying, "Thank you for being the only residents in the city who never protest flyovers."
5. Your grandfather constantly regales you with stories of how in 1958 he once saw screen legend Ashok Kumar jogging. That was the last celebrity sighting in the area, if you exclude Aditya Panscholi (and everyone does).
6. You've become immune to loud tourist vehicle horns. "They do sound like blue birds singing," you exclaim.u00a0
7. Bandra, Worli, Lonavla and the airport are 12 minutes away, without traffic. And, 11 hours, with traffic.
8. Daily you are giving living proof to the question of just how Anil Kapoor would look without a moustache.u00a0
9. You're the Godfather of every station on the Harbour Line. Govandi and Tilak Nagar, what a bunch of losers those stations are.
10. You have a golf club, a tennis academy, a cricket academy and yet the only sport you enjoy is swimming on the Harbour Line during the monsoons.
