Delhi n around

Constant Call of the wild which took its toll finally in the concrete jungle of New Delhi, Agra, Meerut and Noida. Ufff.. just back from the most excruciating travel experince of my life. The trip started off with a bagpack and lots of plans of accesory shopping fr the bike and some books which were not to be found in the tinsel but jovial town of Indore. First day in Noida spent exactly planned. My visit to Firefox made me a proud owner of Odometer,gunmetal pedals and a Nylon tyre however by the end of the day my passbook showed a serious drop in the funds which made me put a check on my shopping spree.

Next step was to open my eyes and mind to watch the delhiites around me. I've been a frequent visitor to Delhi and know the Desi temprament there which recently used to annoy me a lot. Those air headed people with pseudo attitude, trying to fake every single thing in front of u however this time i noticed that after years of faking things these innocent people have been succumbed to their act and have been trapped in that show off role eternally. Real confusd but bound to show confidence.So this time it was not annoyence but pity that came up as the main emotion aftr watching this middle class delhiite society.

Took my back pack next day equipped with a delhi map, an onion in the pocket of my jeans(to save me from the hot wind blowin around in summers), a waterbottle in my bag and a list with name of the destinations i had to visit that day which included palika,Dariyaganj,Some govt offices on Janpath including Office of tourism..

AAfter a long break of around two years i had the privilege of getting a ride on Indian public Limousine. The DTC(Delhi Transport Corporation). The only teeny weeny problem was that u had no place to move ur hands, move ur feet or even to change the angle of ur nose to find another open patch of air through where u can breathe some fresh air. Later on i changed the bus and which was a real breather because atleat in this bus i had space to click some shots to give u guys an idea of this ultimate indian ride.
The time is 2 aftrnoon, Temprtre is 42 deg. celsius.No room even to stand still urs truly got this shot.. next ive got loads of stuff fr u guys i have just started....
