Delhi Heights

Well this post is dedicated to my delhi trip that i went to recently.... since college was off and i was fuck bored of the sedentry life and the monotony creeped in .... i needed a change desperately so i planned a trip to delhi/gurgaon where my masi stays and my cousin too....How'd it materialise?? well first of all i messaged him that i am coming ... and he said he wud take some days off.... and was excited abt me coming.... so i really couldn't refuse this offer...it'd been a long time to catch up with him!... so i told mom..and mom knew that i needed this trip...so she didnt force me to stay.
I called up the bus stand as i am fond of night travelling (I cant travel durin the day...it wasted time as well as its hot during the day...had i gone during the day ...i wud have prefferred shatabdi anyday) but then we need to have a ticket for shatabdi and have to go to 17 bus stand for the ticket...lazy ppl u knw....so i prefferred bus. I called them up at 6 and they told me one bus leaves at 6.40 another at 7.40 and another one at 8.30. so i decided with the 8.30 one...i called up my cousin.....he said he wud be off for a movie and wud get free around 2 and then wud pick me up...i estimated 5 hours for the journey as the guy had said....it made it 0130hrs in the morning and i took 15 min of stoppage and 15 min miscellaneous so it was decided. I got late in packin the stuff as usual and drove really fast to the bus stand....it was 8.25 when i reached there...i grabbed my stuff and ran towards the bus..i had to find the bus too....delat of 5 minutes wud have caused wait for arnd one or 2 hrs.... so i ran and i ran and i ran ... finally found the bus and boarded it....and voila! i am the first one to enter the bus! damn all this effort for this?? mera to dil hi toot gaya!

Well then ppl began filling in and really soon the bus was crowded....i was happy i found a seat of my choice! hmmm then the journey began... i was the only one who was sitting on a 2 seater alone.... and my bag on the seat next to it..actually my bag was quite big so thats y.
And now came ambala...a person entered and told me to kindly adjust my bag.....i was nt happy to take my bag off the seat... but then he needed to sit so i adjusted kindly. not 2 min went by and this guy took out a handkerchief and started blowin his nose....man it was disgusting!!
pretty soon he started sneezin at the intervals of 3 seconds....and i was like.." okay! gone is the trip...i'll surely get cold by the time i reach delhi.... " and i was like sitting with face away from him....i never knew ppl could sneeze at such fast rate continuously! anyways.... had to tolerate...
Then soon after around 15 odd minutes i saw a bhaiya sitting on the seat diagonally in front of me continuously staring at me....first of all i was confused...i looked nearby if there's some pretty chick he's staring at.....but there was none....then again he kept staring.... i ignored it...45 seconds passed by and the punjabi blood pumped...i was ready to thrash his wits now.... i asked him..."kya problem hai?".... the guy said nothing and started looking in front and didnt look back once! funny people! After around 5 min the bus stopped and that bhaiya got off....guess he was looking for where to get off.... anyways....happens!
Well the sneezing guy changed his seat as soon as some ppl got off on a stop and the bus had a bit more space...i was thankful for that.After that the journey got pretty smoth and i reached the desired spot at 3... actually i had bypassed the place where my cousin had told me to come... so i had to take a rickshaw to a point.... the guy was drunk...anyways i didnt care...he settled at 25 bux ...ok..dun! and when i reached.... he said 30 bux! ..lol! anyways who needs haggling in the middle of the night...my cousin was here and i was elated! so i gave him all he wanted and we drove off. And now i noticed smthng abt ppl in delhi...they dnt sleep early...for one my cousin doesn't.... he was with a frnd...the guy seemed pretty amiable and we gelled along well.We dropped off his frnd home and went back home...he stays in DLF ( supposedly the posh area of gurgaon )..it was fit to its reputation.....15 storeyed buildings..... and guess wat...he stays on 11th floor...house number 111. some numberology! lol
Well we didnt sleep til arnd 5.30 ...we were talkin and catching up... and doing internet simultaneously...well i was on internet...orkutting and tokng to ppl...multitasking bla bla bla
We got up next day at arnd 12....and wasted the day at home...( one more fact abt delhi ppl....mostly youngsters go out at night)...in evening we took off.....well there's nothing in gurgaon except malls.... this mall and that mall.....
We planned a movie...namaste london....well to tell u the truth i wasnt very keen on watching it....as i've left watchng TV for arnd 8 to 9 months now...no updates so no trailers and no anxiety abt hindi movies. But well we had to kill time ..we took the tickets for the 10.45 show and went off to other malls... They were the city centre and the metropolitan malls... they are just opposite each other on the left and right side of the road.... we went into one shop after another.... thinkin we wud get smthng we like and buy it but alas..no such luck! and we did some bolwling...the stakes were the cute girl standing next to us ...well she did not know she was up for grabs....and i lost.....but my cousin couldn't take her...so no regrets...hehehehhe....finally we got pretty tired of roaming arnd.... at was around 9.30 by then....we ate the food at Mc Donalds( we have one Mc Dee's at every nook and corner in delhi/gurgaon...its the cheapest too...mostly ppl are sick of these joints)....but then we ate there coz we were too tired to walk and it was nearby.... after eating we headed back to Sahara Mall...it was a family mall..nt much to my liking...but my cousin's friend told me they had brisk business...we has some time to kill so we went on shoe search for my cousin....let me tell u abt my coun...6 feet 3 inches....fair...gym built...foot number's 12 or 13...so we dnt get a shoe his size easily....and as usual the guy searched all his store...couldn't find one that fit his size....after that on the topmost floor we had the most happening discs of gurgaon....all near each other and almost all had doors open and we could peep in...and i was informed abt odyssey...the best disc around...then we had ..the last resort...purple smthng smthng.....many discs... and to my amazement half of the bouncers knew my cousin...he'd been a regular at many of these once.....well...we wasted some of out time ogling at the girls going to odyssey...and well one topped another in style...fashion statement and small clothes...lol
Anyways it was 10.45 soon and now even the PVR guy knew my cousin...man he's famous...lol...anyways we entered and i saw the BEST PVR i had seen in my entire life....big ...spacious..... and whatever....it rocked!!
we had the front row seats in the second segment.... those were i think the best seats there.... we had to take those seats because my cousin's legs did not fit in the seats...lol...HUUUUUUUUUUGE GUY!
and ya i had thought i'd booze for the first time in my life...i'd try some.....after the movie....we saw the movie....the movie was fine types but the ambience made it better....and then when we came out...only discs were open! I was given an option that we cud go in disc if i wanted to booze but i wasnt interested....guess m geetin fat so i'd rather get in shape and enter a disc . so we skipped and there went the idea of boozing...well u wont believe it..i have tried boozing a number of times...but each time something or the other creeps up... dunno why... maybe its a signal...whatever...m talkin like girls now! i hate myself! Anyways we had to grab some food....we went to a dhaba on the base of convergys.....the only place we can get food 24 hours!
We had chicken....as usual my favourite....and some more stuffed omelette paranthas...and finally when we were full we headed home!! reached at around 4.30..... as usual we hate sleepin...i was on comp...cousin talked for some time and dozed off...i didnt sleep...i slept at 6.30.

Now i'm bored of writing so i'll make it fast and short...next day was spent at masi's plc...next day i was with my sis ..again malls...we caught up wit a movie 300...saw it again...mertopolitan's PVR sucks!! in evening i was back at my cousin's.. at 11.45 we ventured for a coffee after dinner....it was some BPO's compund...we were full but my cousin cant resist subway.. so we ordered 3 6 inch footlongs....cousin'd friend was not hungry...so i ate two along with the coffee frm barista...!! burp!! man i can eat! then we sat in the garden and roamed around and talked.......as we say karan(cousin's friend) got senti abt life and career and they told me some hilarious anecdotes abt how they came to know each other ...it was fun! we came back at arnd 5.... and dozed off as next day i had to go to my friend's plc.
Next day i took a cab to my friend's plc ..he lives around Qutub institutional area.... he showed me all the premier institutes around and i was fuck tired of walking.... then again i spent a day there...during the day we roamed and during the night we played cricket on his PC...it was awesome!!.... and then finally at night we came back...12.30 bus...my friend lives in chandigarh also came along as he had 2 holidays....we reached chandigarh at 6.30 in the morning.... and the trip was finally over.....all the masti and fun was left behind....well all the good things come to an end....and this trip too.... but then memories stay! and this trip has given me something that i cant share with u...something that i can only feel deep down....something that makes me wanna go back and live it again! m out of words now! so i'd sign off!
until next time!
