(Just see this in the perspective that i have never been to any metropolitan cities, only seen in TV etc.)
New Delhi............Man Oh Man............. u can really feel the Hype of India here......the Traffic, the Cars, the Sky Touching Buildings, the Peoples and and and The Girls ;) ;P hehehe........i was going on the bus from Jaipur to New Delhi.......1st it was like the normal routine travel that i always had from Jaipur to Ajmer and visa versa.........but when i entered Gurgaon i started thinking what people always say about metropolitan cites...............Fantastic, Mind blowing, Gorgeous, Superb Buildings were passing like anything before me.......DLF, Radison, Convergys, IBM, Crown Plaza, Haldiram etc. are the few i could remember ..... It looked like that New Delhi is made up of flyovers only........after every few distance a flyover will always come.......and sometimes even 2-3 flyover would be merging with each other .........i was just seeing and getting more and more amazed...............i do not know what i will say when go to Mumbai............i found a auto which was driven by a Sardar he saying "Delhi is like a "Bhool Bhulaiya" for new people".......but i also found lot of driving directions boards that were put on before every flyover which were pretty helpful........he also said that "In the last 4-5 years that much development has occurred that was not done in previous years after independence".........he also said "U take any field and u r very likely to find at least 1 Indian in that field anywhere in the world".........i thought i found a very talkative Sardar ........they are like that only i suppose.........that's Good anyways..........while i was going in auto i saw something written in the back of an auto "Khoobsurat hou maine, jindagi bhar saath nibhaugi, bas pii kar mat chalana".......something i felt interesting actually, that too written at the back of auto...........i also saw a man limping while walking....then soon came to know that was bcoz of "drink".........i kept seeing him until he vanished from my eyes.........this is the other side of India........people are frustrated, sad, angry from government, life is like a hell sometimes for few peoples.............but we need to fight our way in and Do The Best We Can And Leave The Rest...........Its a new good experience that i had and can never forget.........i felt like writing that's why am writing else i would not have...........and would not have written like this...........This writing thing is something that i hated to do when i was a kid........Times changed and am changed......i do not know when i would feel like writing again............So, Until Then.......TATA.......GoodBye.
