The Noida humor is made up of the ‘katta’ or locally-made gun and the ‘Fortuner’ (read Fortuner SUV), and the risks of stepping out in the late evening.
It is not just crime and security that enrich the bouquet of jokes, the daily reality of a city that witnesses frequent power cuts, despite the surroundings of India’s power hub, also becomes a source of humour.
Animesh Jain, who works in a publishing house in Delhi, says, ‘Load shedding’ jokes are quite common in our office and some of his friends come from Noida. “Every time they’re late, we ask, Didn’t sleep last night?

,‘Original’ vs Noida’s Diaspora
If Gujjars make up one aspect of the Noida humour, the expatriates who form a way for Noida’s affordable rent and purchase of real estate, and society, make up the other end. ‘Clash of Culture’— Native Locals versus ‘posh’ migrants, and the everyday reality of people moving to Noida – became fodder for ‘Just Noida Things’ and a special kind of comedy that is found only in this satellite city.
