Okay, if you've lost direction and were headed towards the NCR...here are some useful tips that'll help you figure out if you've reachedGurgaon!
1. You encounter 5 portholes a minute
2. The bulls on the roads have horns bigger than anything you've seen particularly when compared to the puny horned bulls of Delhi
3. The dirt car parking lot guy has seperate parking rates for the weekend and weekdays!
4. You see more malls than people
5. You see more cars than people
6. You see more buildings with more cars and more parking space than people
7. People from all walks of life carry a laptop regardless of job description.
8. The cobbler has a much advertised mobile number and offers free home delivery and pick-up and is thinking of acquiring an ISO Certification soon.
9. The same cobbler is eyeing a posh office space to open his new branch of 'footwear repair innovation' targetted at corporates whose shoes might break during office hours.
10. If you're working in an ad agency in Delhi, you're proabably handling his account.
11. Everyone buys groceries from Spencer's
12. In gurgaon, you've truly have a 'global' job when: your boss sits in an office halfway across the world and you work from home and connect using your neighbour's wi-fi to communicate with your local office which is just down the road.
13. When you enter a mall, and see a whole bunch village people, you're filled with respect because you know they come from money, own expensive cars, have big political contacts and some not so legal contacts as well and if they're last name is anything like Chautala or Hooda, you might end up bowing politely to them.
14. And lastly, when using the toilets remember: the flushes flush automatically (not always at appropriate times though) and the water from taps have sensors (which may or may not work - subject to strategic placement of hands under the tap at the correct angle at which the sensor can detect movement and urge the water to flow out!)

I have one word - "Hillarious"
I liked 12th the most:))Hilarious!
pritika - thanks for your comment. now about your post. i feel ironical reading about gurgaon. life has become a mad rush for those 20'ish college going kids, mad run after money for the 25'ish techie, and 'the villagers' are doing great in the booming businesses. i remember 10 years ago i used to visit gurgaon and all i found there was greenery and peace (i remember the HUDA park in sector 17 ??). far far away from the hob-nobbing in delhi. but alas, things have changed. i don't know, i think more of it is doing bad than good. what do you think ?
...and you believed the indian hockey team comments. !! ohh, no.
what company do you work for, i guess you work with some media company. you should be used to rumors ;)
