Delhi is hot and very hot and in all senses! Thaks to the occasional shovers, my stay there was damn pleasant. But I liked the hot part too. If u want to see hot girls (only see) Delhi is the place. The people are better behaved and dressed. Hindi comes to you naturally (cuz there's no other way around) there I guess. All speak Hindi and even if someone spoke English it won't be more than a few words.
The metro takes you almost all the places u want to go. It's the national capital and the security check is stringent. But the airconditioned metro ride is worth the bucks. Each time I felt tired and unable to stand the heat, i got into a metro and got down in the next station.
It was my first time visit to an airport on 25 June. We have to report 3-4 hrs before for a two hr journey. That's a amazing! Huh? I felt I should have stayed longer just to make her feel that she isn't alone. But Joisy is cool. She knows how to get along with pple easily and fast. How can I forget the way she got the burqa to take a photo. She just walked upto a burqa clad woman and asked most persuasively. Honestly, I wouldn't have done that for anything in the world. (Am I an introvert?)
Afeter leaving her, it was my day all the way. I had not slept a wink the night before. Daisy aunty and I talked til 6.30 am we left from her house. It's after many yrs that we are meeting, let alone talking. I hardly knws her. I have only one or two memories of hers, that too as a child. But relationships are always what they are. I remember aunty asking (more than once) "what did we talk all this while?". It was amazing to be connected to one's own kin like that sometime.
Oh the day that was 25/06. I left Joisy in the airport and headed straight to Redfort. What amazing structure that is. Jesus!!! It was one sight that'll make us think of the country that was ours once upon a time. How many yrs they may have taken to construct that and so huge? Centuries back? And the lawns and gardens? Wow! Salutes, salutes and Salutes to the Kings that ruled us once. That's when glory did mean "glory"!
Oh i din't say. I had a two hr sleep in the lawns in front of the parliament. I am glad no terrorist chose to attack on 25/06. I slept like dead in the train. I have never been more tired! It was one beutiful journey too, with monsoon rains cooling the way.
Anything from my love for music and radio to people I know and issues I see. All is here, for a peep. My journal, you may call it...
