Australian Creator Says Delhi's 'Jugaad' Beats Mumbai's Rules in Viral Clip

The Instagram post by Andy Evans reignites the long-running DelhiMumbai comparison through an argument over convenience versus discipline.

Overview

  • Andy Evans, known as theaussiebhai, posted a video titled "I like Mumbai, but..." explaining why he still prefers Delhi after living there longer.
  • He praised Delhi’s get-it-done 'jugaad', saying even Rs 200 can secure extra help at home, which he finds uncommon in Mumbai.
  • He described Mumbai as more rule-bound and meter-driven, joking that requests for small favors often get a firm "nahi".
  • The clip, captioned "I miss that Delhi jugaad," has crossed eight lakh views on Instagram and continues to draw heavy engagement.
