Day10 (30th Oct 2004): Delhi Darshan

I woke up somewhere in Punjab, and the 1^st thing I did was to count my limbs and then my fingers. I was all so happy to find everything was in place, hehe!

Finally reached Delhi and contacted our driver who was to take me to the Guest house. Contacted Gautam (RV Hostel Snr), Pallavi (I’d called her up from the Bangalore Airport telling that I’d be in Delhi on 30th) and Namrata (RV Classmate).

While Gautam was too busy with work, Namrata was down with fever. So, couldn’t meet up with them. Met Pallavi in Preet Vihar McD’s and decided to do some ‘Delhi Darshan’. Saw “Bahai Temple”, “Qutb Minar” (tried some stunts there, hehe!), and as we were coming back to Delhi-Proper, we decided to have a look at IITD. After reading 5.+1 I was yearning to see the ‘Kumaon’ hostel, and the ‘Admin Block’, and … Our final destination for the day was “Ansal Plaza”, and no doubt, had the maximum fun there, for obvious reasons, hehe .

But we spent too long a time in Ansal’s and the station (Nizamuddin) was around 15 km from there. Somehow hurried and reached the train (Rajdhani) only 4 min before it left. For once I thot - “ab yeh train bhi jaayegi”. Abhijeet – ur great!
