It's a Delhi Sunday



Delhi + summers make a terrible combination, but yesterday evening it was different, it rained cats and dogs, cooled the scorched earth and touched our souls. So today morning when I got up at 7 am it was pleasantly cool. I am still undecided if I should join Amit-gulu or stay with Gogo here in CR Park. Unlike summers Delhi winters are absolutely wonderful, I just love the sun then and the climate becomes so romantic. Just wish Delhi had longer winters.

I have been going to Amit-gulu every sunday since the past 3-4 weeks, I go there dirty up their bedroom, drink beer, Thums-up, talk with them and abuse-push gulu to make babies... life ... great isnt it? I have been pushing this couple friends of mine to make babies, because they cant be young forever... rt? Now gulu is coming to a deal with me--> You get married and I make a baby. And, I have agreed to her -> No job yet, so what ??? ahahaha Everything is fair, if the end is noble.

Gogo wants me to join karate class today morning but he is still sleeping, Amit wants me to go to Chandi-chowk to get a big album to arrange his photos. Let the day decide what happens. In the meantime I wish the day stays cool like it is now... wishful think I might say.

Am thinking of taking the Delhi Metro, to gulu's place. I just so proud of it, and to top it all, it is all of Rs 17, for 40-45 mins of ride, passing by 23 stations (from barakhamba to Dwarka sector12), compared with Bangkok's 40 Bahts (Rs 45) or london's 3 pounds (Rs 220), or paris' 2.5 Euros (Rs 145), Call that cheap rt ? NO call it inexpensive :P ... The metro stop is just 5 mins walk from gulu's place but no metro in south Delhi as of now, so I go to central Delhi to take it, heard it will touch South Delhi by 2008-9, yes, Delhi deserves to be a world-class city with great infrastructure.

Yesterday nite was fun, afer cool downpour gogo and I took his Bike-Enfield out for a ride and dinner outside, if petrol weren't that expensive, we would have taken a long ride ... LOL. Post dinner I wanted to have coffee, I wanted to go to "Barista" my favorite coffee chain, but gogo urged me to try out this new chain called "Costa coffee" and I was impressed. The capuccino was great and huge for Rs 55, And the Ambience and Aroma were great. A good looking girl dropped in when we were having our last sip Lol,(it always happens that way .. ahahaha).

Back home we hit the internet (accessed via wireless from God knows whose network ! - My laptop is great!!! - it can catch networks anywhere in the world, in France I saved a lot of money and effort to carry the laptop to school, my Laptop just caught the nighbours' network near our hostel and to top it all Mai's laptop couldn't do that Lol :P. she tried hard but couldn't ). On the net we searched for girls of marriageable age for me and gogo LOL. Aunty joined in the fun and we cahtted our way deep into the nite. Gogo and me discussed Judo, Aikido dowloaded a video, watched and finally slept.

Just got the Morning Newspaper, something I loved about India and will always love it so much, Opening a crisp newspaper with a hot up of Tea is the best thing one can ask for... alas many people will never understand that.

Today I am in a chatty mood, I hope people can keep up to me the whole day. Missing so many people today wish you were here ... wishful thinking ???.

Will keep blogging.

Pizza Party with Delhi Gang


My "Pizza parties" had become very well talked of by the time I came back and almost all the guys and girls were eager to have one, once that I was back in Delhi. It all started one day when my friend and brother Gogo and me wanted to kill sometime one afternoon , so what better way than having food that we loved. we invited some friends and it was an instant hit, subsequently we did many pizza parties, and they were almost always great, because of the food the coke/pepsi and the money(the contribution was so less !)

After I moved on to Bangkok no one cared to continue the parties, but they all had missed and more importantly the words had stuck in these people's imagination "Pizza Party" so last week when gogo proposed, we were all so excited , we fond 3 new faces too, shriti, meenakshi and tutu among us. But as usual it was huge fun , making the pizzas and eating them with loads of cheese on them, hahaha who cares for calories here...

Yesterday I went out with Tia, my little friend who has grown up quite a bit, she is taller and now in Grade 10. I am talking about her in this post because this again is related to pizzas, I , Tiklu (Tia's elder bro ... now a medico) and Tia used to go for Pizzas @ Nirula's in Delhi and have one particular pizza "Mutton Sausage Pizza". Tiklu is now far off in Bardhaman doing his MBBS to become a doctor, really miss him tonnes.

We all decided that our pizza parties will happen more often ... lets see how many pizzas are yet to be baked :P
