Find out who your city is through these tweets that describe cities as people –you might be pleasantly shocked!

Have you ever looked at your friends’ lifestyle and told them, “You would fit right in Mumbai!” Or New York. Or any city that seems to ‘match their personality’? But what if it worked in reverse as well? What if cities have personalities of their own? What if Amsterdam is drunk because it doesn’t want to have sober thoughts? What if Venice is an old school romantic stuck in the millennial generation? A lot of these what ifs were answered by Twitter recently!

It started when a user tweeted a touching quote by John Berger, and soon people were describing various cities as people.

"Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and in this hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman."

2. Mysore, India

Mysore is a beautiful woman, royal and charismatic. Had a glorious past, but now wakes up everyday to realise that the past is well behind, and the glory long gone. She lulls slowly waiting for another chapter of her life...

3. Dubai, UAE

Dubai is that uber rich person with all the money and the lavish lifestyle, but have never experienced real love and affection, and are emotionally distant. All this glory but nothing to live for.
Behind all that glitter and sparkle, there lies a shallow and empty existence.

5. Bangalore, India

Bangalore is a powder-faced, jasmine scented old grandma who helplessly holds a kerchief up to the traffic. Her memory is Helter-skelter, her skyscrapers are comically misplaced. She snootily bargains with the tarkari saleswomen but compassionately gazes up at jacaranda blossoms.

7. Mumbai, India

Mumbai is an immigrant who sincerely works her ass off, clocking over 60 hours a week and hopes to save up enough to retire in a quiet and quaint home in the countryside. Her aspirations can wait, because there is still so much work to do and rents to pay.

Isn’t it a romantic thought? To believe our cities have stories that only we know of? To find home in a place you might say is a drunken teenager? Well, if you ask me, Varanasi is an old artist who plays melodious tunes on his flute during daytime, admires art and sunsets in evenings, and sits alone with his thoughts and a drink while looking at the moon at night.
