The second ride to North Campus
The second ride to North campus came with a rider that in the evening i would be visiting Okhla to fetch my share of veggies. North campus the previous week was not hard to access as multiple of buses were accessible with no sign of overboarding. This time round, Metro looked to be feasible given the Hudson Lane exit i was looking for. It would have been a little after noon had set in when i exited from gate number two and the final destination to reach i had all the clue. Barely 200 metres away i was looking for a cyber cafe that functioned from a basement. What i could gather during the course of conversation was this cyber cafe had shut down and in effect there were others in the bylanes with their share of fame.
The one i entered had some steps to its entry/exit point and the dust that had settled on the keyboard meant the cafe did not have the round the clock shine. The cafewallahs were kind enough to let me in and during the period i used the net they were having meals and wearing jeans. Would have stayed for a while as sufficient light is a must when you are working on stories on a city on how to assess and adjust. As i came out convinced that i would seek their services next time, the search for others near Patel Chest proved to be of no success. Finally took a metro ride to Okhla and at Central Sectt. took the tube that went to Badarpur which had amidst passengers who place a series of bet. It was at Kalkaji metro station i came out not forgetting during the ride that there was a lady who was trying to flip through the pages of brunch and the least degree of concentration suggested she hadn't had a wholesome lunch.Some boys at this station were kind enough to suggest the bus ride i could afford to take to Okhla and one has to walk about 500 to 750 metres before reaching the stop. The bus ride lasted barely five minutes and i was amidst the vegetable thunder in Okhla that has events that come every calendar.
It was at 4.47 in the evening i was in Okhla and this time i stayed away from checking the whereabouts of Rajdhani and all those who had the synergy and the clout. Some of the veggies i could procure included gobhi (cauliflower) for 15rs a kg, parwal (pointed gourd) 20rs a kg, bhindi (ladyfinger), ginger and peas. The entire bunch came for a little over 100rs. This time round the Okhla subzi mandi seem to be peppered with a series of emotions riding on large numbers who had ventured out to purchase vegetables.
Ride on a green bus
It was on the rate of pointed gourd and my submission that it came at 10rs a kg in azadpur saw one vendor in okhla lose his cool. Perhaps he may have been correct given the rate of 30 and above the customers would have consistently paid. It is a customer or a series of them who shy away from bargaining and this leads to an upsurge in vegetable price which has its daily share of gaining. As i stepped out the bus that would take me to AIIMs was not hard to locate. This being Sunday the rush inside the green bus meant majority inside were going to take part in celebrations like birthday. THe city is more comfortable in running green buses as red may have some followers but it has its share of misses as well. It consumes more fuel releases more air and makes the city resident more used to sounds of comfort lasting for a few minutes. The traffic too on a Sunday was thick and less therapeutic and by the time i reached home the tv theatres were thick with news on all those who went to Rome and alone.
