Dilli

Writing this from a cyber cafe in Chandni Chowk.....

This is my second day in delhi for my first Summer training in PG and how tired i m..from Yesterday till today, i dont know how much kilometers i have travelled and how many times i have asked my way to people..and experienced a lot...OF DELHI.

Ask anybody abt any place...& the answer u will get..
"Bas yaha se seedhe nikal jao...aur aage thodi door jaake phir seedhe chale jaana." :) Not even a single person told to go left or right or turn back...

Firstly i had kept my luggage at Shreyas's Oraganisation's guest house but had to leave that in the evening only & then got this hotel at Paharganj.

Yeasterday..first we strolled at Nizamuddin Ralway Station for two hours to get his Honda Activa which he had booked frm bhopal...And dont forget two hours walk to different area around Nizamuuddin to purchase a helmet...had to walk arond 5-6 Kilometers.:(

The after getting the Gaddi we set out to search for my org..and what a address they have given..just the name of the street...we travelled arnd 30 kilometers & fortunately found the location...but the big task was remaining..we both had to go back to his guest house nad none of us knew where wre we had in which direction we had to go...so againa sking an asking and after travelling 40 kilomerters for a distance which was actually 20 Kilometers and passing thru dont know what what streets...and may other know places like..Rashtrapati Bhawan, India Gate janpath Rajghat ..and so on...somehow reached back...

Then had to move back to Paharganj & finally found this Hotel where i m staying right now.

Free for today also ..just raoming arnd in the streets..went to Jama Masjid..lal Kila...and at presently at chandni Chowk...will see a movie at Night. Or may be evening show.:)

let us see what is in store for tomorrow .

P S - Another thing i hate is to pay for Net...have used to of having unlimited connectivity at IIFM :(

OT Decided.....

So.....the fate of next two months(that is summers) was decided yesterday night....Will be doing a project under SPWD(Society For the Promotion Of Wasteland Development).
The project is on finding markets for some NTFPs and is based in MP only...but will have to report their Delhi Office First.
Getting a Stipend of Rs.4000/- per month :) (that will be my first real earning) + 3000 p.m. as accomodation allowances + AC II class train fare + other incidental expenses. Thats not bad... ;)
Anyway...for now, the biggest pain is End Terms which are starting from tomorrow and i dont know even a damn thing in any subject....Will have to do some real work to get marks in these exams....And for now...writing in Hindi is also postponed till dont know when....

Enjoying Reading Hindi Blogs....
