Oh yes, I miss Delhi!

I miss the fun, my friends, PVR hangouts, nice drives and just chilling in Delhi. I have been in Bangalore for 4 months now and I have learnt that:
- 4th gear is not meant to be used
- the traffic cop will ask for bribe, even if you have not broken any rule and that you have paid the road tax for your non Karnataka license plate!
- the traffic cop will get irritated if you cannot answer back in Kannada
- the only place to hangout is the Brigade road (never mind if it too small)
- you cannot spot a McDonalds in Bangalore (yeah yeah there is one in forum)
- there can be traffic junctions on a narrow and small flyover (Richmond circle)
- every junction is called a circle
- leftooo may actually mean right
- small narrow by lanes or service roads can be one ways
- you can park your anywhere!
- the true measure of distance is not KM but hours!

Ganga Ghats

Yes, we did behave like tourists clicking snaps on the Har Ki Pauri, but inner calmness of Ganga flowing with all its force is simply great.

We sat there for sometime as if time had stopped and for the three of us it indeed did. It provided an opportunity for one be completely be in sync with self and it is these moments that you really keep wondering on what is that mystic power in Ganga that provides you with so much serenity.

As I wondered, I was taking back by the fact that we had been to Haridwar on an occasion for much importance – it was Budh Purnima. The place was filled with pilgrims sleeping on the banks of the river trying to get the first chance to bath in the morning. While the amenities provided to people where little one could see the calmness around as if everyone was satisfied to sleep on the little piece of plastic that was sold for ten rupees. While we made it back to the comfort of “ginger” a budget hotel nearby, it was the longing to be back at the ghats that made us wake up early and head back. Sometimes you never really understand the true charm of a place and being at the ghats of Ganga is one such experience.
