Day,1 and 2 Delhi.

First day in Delhi.. we take to the roads. the conditioned air in the car does little to the heat fryin us. The traffic, clearly had the effect of the Sunday. Our drive leads us to the city walk mall. The level of organisation and infrastructure truly amazed me through out. Malls, i guess, are frequented by the loaded here.the stash in da stores' all designer. Lunch at the food court was massively invaved by tomato and da unpalatable.was really glad i got to eat some chicken.

One of the most amazing thinz dat hapnd was Me an Pre gettin to watch Iron man. Its Definately preserved the attitude of the comics. the CGA were Fantastic an Put across Tony stark jus Right. If you are as deep into comics as i am, the last thing you wanna see is Dis respectful movie abt a superhero you grew up reading. Frankly i really enjoyed the movie :) you must watch.

If you are around Delhi and are at Saket PVR, you must visit the place, Buzz. Beer or a coupla drinks are enjoyable wid the lounge music playin. jus right to keep you light an have a conversation too. i figured therz a McD around every other street in Delhi. like they wud never let you die of hunger atleast.

For my return i chose taking a rikshaw. Ali the riskhaw driver got me to the guest house through most of the calm in delhi. A very friendly chap, probably drunk on a desi (daru) before he gets home to his family of wife an two kids.During our conversation over the fare of 60 bux, he decides to throw in a bonus.He jumps a red signal an hits da breaks bang right inna middle of the road,an says yeh dekho sahab. i see the India Gate Standin tall .In the darkness of the midnight ,even without the artificial luminence, it shone full of pride in the moonlight.Reflexively i get out of the rik and jus stare the empty roads. My day was made. Felt like i saw all of Delhi.

Pandey, the caretaker, sounded glad i made it back to the guesthouse. it freaked the shit outta me. He offers me chilled water and the match to light up.. we smoke in the warm summer night.. the night is refreshing and i enjoy the drop in temp.

i sleep heavy an rest my day.

I wake up an start my day to chilled minty flavoured water in her car. we drive to connaught place. Mother of all capitals. The place is a hive with people bee-ing in vibrance an energy. the coffy I sip charged me for the day. we walked through the hustle an commotion. A part of my head wass constantly buzzin that i am an evening away from the himalayas. We pass over the madras cafe and over a hundred shops tendin satisfaction in the range of offerings. from
trinkets to brands. from a supersized glass o lassi to talentful art being sold on footpaths. seemed like there was this perfect balance in the pains taken to present somethin with a price tag and the happiness in buying it.

I chose to end my lunch with coffy or tea, jus like any hyderabadi would.
evening came wid the darkness in the sky the city lit in brilliance. Ben called an the rendezvous was set at the Metro.

The time that followed i meet Ben Aka Caesar. respect and the times we shared stand strong, i realise, even after a year. we took a moment to pay mutual honor and shoot adrenaline.I still have no freakin Idea how we got past the security wid a coupla swiss army knives and pair o nun-chaks in our baggage. so, we enter the metro.

Its a Program. I was hoping to fight Agent smith der. no such luck tho. :P

Highly Organised an Very facilitationg. the Del Metro is one o the fastest an easiest means of transtport i've ever been thru. We ride to Kashmiere gate and take steps to ISBT. Felt like we were hurled between a pack o wild hungry wolves on leashes. each state had a base station of operation where they'd convince you to oblige. the mess was more evident than the noise around.

We went thru an episode which i claim,is not for the weak of heart or the metally challenged abt star wars.
