If only i could condense in to caption the kind of fabulous fun i had today!
So, i decided to go around Delhi! Wait, did i say, I decided? Some frenz decided and there was I. They also decided i had to treat them for my birthday! Now you got why they wanted me there? Like i said, it was a fabulous day and i will tell you why.
The day started in typical Indian fashion. Boys ready before time, and girls SAID they are ready after half an hour. I understand! the make up part takes longer; I'm learning life's lessons, you see! So we were late by an hour. Indian Standard Time! First stop was Qutub Minar. I really don't find any meaning in building such a tall building, except that he had so much money and no Arnab Goswami to ask questions! Then, this is to admire, not to have any meaning. Lesson number 2! The photo session started! Sam, take a solo picture; Sam, please one more snap; Sam, this place is good to take snaps. Whoever said that boys are good in photography and girls in giving a pose? Even if you don't believe in it, fine. Take the camera and click one more picture. Lesson number 3!
Next stop was the famous lotus temple. It should have been in Pink colour came a sound? Pink? Lesson Number 4! Girls like pink, and if they say pink, never argue! Imagine the entire campus in pink colour? I ve learnt my lessons well, So i say, "Wow";
We decided, No, no, It was decided, that we will next visit the famous mughal tombs. Safdarjung tomb was the first destination and then Humayun's tomb! Mughal kings had this fascination for huge tombs. Alright, they had the money and people. But why tombs? So after walking inside huge campuses and climbing steep stairways, there will be a tomb. Click some snaps! Walk along, climb more steps and there are more tombs! The great taj, the symbol of love, is after all a tomb! Probably, the boys behaved well there; No lessons were taught. Advantage of building tombs? Made even the girls quite:)
Then i realized the reason for the quietness.The hunger pangs have come out! After the usual hungama of going to a hotel with wrongs dishes (Shhhh! actually it was way over my budget) and searching for a decent hotel we had an awesome lunch. It was after all my treat:)
Life's biggest lesson's hits you hard! I learnt it the hard way. Never take a girl and more so girls, for shopping when they are fresh and have had a filling lunch. After 3 hours and visiting 7 shops and having bought more things than what i would have bought in a year, this comment came, " Good, we have not got much, we will come again"; You know what the boys are supposed to do during the entire 3 hours? Stand guard, hold on to whatever was bought, and say which of the two is beautiful, even if you have no idea of whether thing shown is an anklet or a chain, and more importantly remind them that the shops are meant to stay there.
I really thought now that shopping is over, everybody will be tired and so our trip will end there, till Rashtrapati bhavan and parliament came in between. Everybody sprang back to life and photo sessions continued; After Rashtrapati bhavan came Saravana bhavan; 150 people standing outside Saravana bhavan waiting to eat was one of the biggest shock i had the entire day? Is Delhi so short of quality Tamil restaurants?Macdonalds made more sense than standing outside Saravana Bhavan.
It was a nice dinner, especially when you meet some one from your own district in Delhi and more so when the frenz finally decided to sing the birthday song and give a gift.
Sorry, this is a looooong post! It is one heck of a day! Love you all guys! My tryst with Delhi was great and so were the lesson's.
