Peccadelhi....

I have spent the last hour listening to Avril Lavigne(yeah i fall into those moods too), wondering about why I don't feel like flying back to Mumbai tomorrow. What makes Delhi such a indulging peccadillo, such as elbow nudging your girlfriends', picking your nose, stepping on every crunchy leaf on the ground.

Besides the obvious nostalgia because of loving parents(I see it as a priveledge), Delhi offers a unique warmth, charm...enamour(yes, this too).

Be it the waitor at a posh restaurant who promises to get you beer in your car for 10 extra bucks, or the bus conductor who excuses you a ticket because he's on his plush looking gold skinned mobile phone, delhi still believes in exchange of smiles.

Midnights are still lonely, and the fine for drunken driving is still rupees 50, all you need to do is say papa is a government officer. Pubs are still flooded with guys, girls rest at home, a lot more of them are taking the metro though, most of them with shades.

I am making metro trips too, damn often, positioning myself(with a lot of attitude, and no shades) such that my nonchalance gets noticed. Though you cannot tell, one approach and you get slapped or kicked(they do you in groups these days)....girl power(nice, where were you all when I was 18).

The malls are exceptionally busy too, baggy clothes hang loose...
Family visits are in...a lot of girls with long oiled hair playing ringa ringa roses...amusing
And they want to know why Bose is so cheap...

The cults still on the roads of vasant vihar, saket, south ex and punjabi bagh. A lot of foreigners, in open jeeps...cool
India Habitat center rocks too, so does NSD and ofcourse who can forget Khan chahcha and his mouthwatering kebabs, and Bengali Market...awsum

People are committing too fast....or maybe its time....best friends dont have time for you anymore...so you ruin there party...gatecrash...delhi rocks

Cheers
