• When all your conversations and reactions to everything high-class start with ‘haila’.

• You don’t discard your old, used clothes and rather use them as mops.
• You don’t believe in fancy Picasso paintings and treat them like a regular painting you get at an arts and crafts store.
• When your local ‘manglu baba’ and ‘naag devta’ can fix your life’s biggest and smallest problems.

• One of the most categorically middle class things by Maya Sarabhai is saying cheers instead of raising a toast while having drinks.
• Your one and only goal in life is to bargain, haggle, and save every penny you can.
