From enjoying a gola at Juhu beach with his wife, to a meal at Mainland China with his kids, here&rsquo;s everything that made UP boy Sudhanshu Pandey into an &lsquo;Asli Mumbaikar.&rsquo;
Vada Pav or Pav Bhaji? Pav Bhaji because it is more satiating as a meal, not just a snack.
Rickshaw or Kaali Peeli? Kaali Peeli because it&rsquo;s an identity that Mumbai had even before I came to Mumbai, so I travelled in Kaali Peeli and that left an impact on my mind that will always stay.
Juhu beach or Bandra Bandstand? Juhu beach because when my wife and I first came to Mumbai, we used to have gola there every second day.&nbsp;
Gateway of India or Marine Drive? Both places are historical but I&rsquo;ll always chose Marine Drive-Queen&rsquo;s necklace, it&rsquo;s something I always wanted to see even as a tourist.
Local train or BEST bus? I haven&rsquo;t travelled by public transport much, but initially I did take the local train a couple of times. My father retired from the railways, so trains were always something I could relate to. It&rsquo;s symbolic of life as you move ahead.
Tapri ki chai or Sol Kadhi? Tapri any day, because cutting chai is something I associate with the city.
Watching a play at Prithvi theatre or watching a movie at Gaiety Galaxy? I&rsquo;ve watched movies in single screen theatres all my life, so I would love to watch a play at Prithvi, because that&rsquo;s something I didn&rsquo;t get to experience while living in Uttar Pradesh.&nbsp;
Mumbai during rains or Mumbai during winter? Winters because the weather is beautiful and roads are dry.&nbsp;
Favourite restaurant in the city? Favourite restaurant is one that is close to our house-Mainland China, simply because my kids love their food.
Favourite place in Mumbai? It&rsquo;s difficult to choose but over the past decade, Marriot in Juhu has been my favourite. It&rsquo;s homely, I love the food and it&rsquo;s a great location to be at with family.&nbsp;
The Mumbai lingo you use the most? Favourite Mumbai lingo is &lsquo;Bas kya?&rsquo;
What do you love most about the city? I love the diversity yet unity and it&rsquo;s a very accepting city. It gives hope to everybody, you never lose hope in this city.
