DILLI 6

An Excerpt...

Don’t think that this post has anything to do with Abhishek and Sonal Kapoor starter Dilli 6 as the name suggests.

It was in 06.06.06 that I first came close to Delhi.Rest of the time it was just spending vacations with sisters and uncles.

This time it was something new.I got into DPS R K Puram as a boys hosteller(‘HOSTEL’ gives a sense that it restricts freedom to know Delhi well because...u know.But it was not as I had suppossed things would turn out.Even on the very 1^st day there was something to explore...the nearby SANGAM CINEMA, an advantage for a movie freak like me who was eveready for this sort and especially when it was of SRK’s...

Apna “PPC” (PRINCE PAN CORNER)..The owner of this Pan shop should also be called to IIM-A to give an insight into how to run a super successful Buisness...if our Honourable LALU PRASAD YADAV can,then why not this man?But to be honest,I didnt like the juice they used to give...and once I had to gulp Banana juice because there was no mango...and I hate the former juice...and the bad way it was made..added to the spark.Prateek was suppossed to give me a sort of treat and so...this was it.

Going to PRIYA was not of my concern because the only thing i observed was that ppl go there only for RPM...and a few toHABIBS for a haircut for a whopping Rs 1000 and that didnot make sense.

But once I went there,my Uncle was to meet me there.That was my 1^st interaction with Priya,VASANT VIHAR.The only thing I could remember at that time was the McD at the entrance.Later during my 12^th Boards,after the Physics paper(which went far better as compared to rest of the schools),me and Utkarsh decided to do something adventuorous and off we were to PRIYA on foot.It was simple...wear barmuda,go to the Dhobi Ghat,and jump the fence to Nivedita Kunj and we were out...Mathse xam was a week away...and there was no worry in our face.We had our usual Hangout place TRIPLE D (DADA DA DHABA) on our way..roasted chicken were already put up at the fireplace..I cudnt resist my temptation and decided to have dinner after Priya.After half an hour of walking on the streets of south Delhi (also taking a nap on a bus stop) and then finally reaching Priya where we did nothing to be honest, just roamed around(we didnt hav a penny in our pocket) and observed ppl drinking in the garden when utkarsh screams-“saale inhi logon ki masti hai...dekh bandiyaan pata rakkhi hain aur piye jaa rahen hain...mere ko ek bandi chahiye...life men feel nahi aa rahi aajkal”.It was his usual saying but this time in drinking mood.Anyways,we were getting late an so we backed out....to TRIPLE D...had 2 full plate Roasted Chicken(Hhmm !!),straightened our shorts, jumpd the wall and were back to Hostel...the dinner was Maggi...and foofdpass was not being signed...we were giggling amon ourselves for the feast just happened....

Iwill keep on writing like this if I dont end now...even when I try to cut short,i am not able to...

More memorable incidents...to follow soon...

Till then...Wishing Biharis/Jharkhandis,

A Happy Chhath Puja.
