Interactions across national capital

Interactions across national capital

Interactions across national capital have not been few and far primarily accomplished by stepping out at least two to three times in a week after taking a shower. Interactions have led me to places like Green Park, it is a park opposite IIT Gate where people of sizeable aptitude come and greet.  Green Park has been a park of sizeable size which at present is functioning to its half capacity given the metro construction and those looking for half an hour creativity.
Park has benches dating back to the 80s and 90s; the new set is on the ground made from cement and no railing round. It has had people in the past coming from Ramesawaram and the North East; the depletion or addition depends on the day when some prefer to release their tension or seek no class or office attention. Adjacent to this park is Sec 3 R K Puram which has a ready and somewhat redone market housing among others a tea stall and some doling out fruits on a cart and are on a roll. As one enters from the main road about 150 metres away one can sight a cobbler occupying a small space perhaps he puts locks to his functioning space when he leaves for the day.

As for a Saturday while visiting the Kali Bari in S J Enclave came across one Haldar hailing from Kolkata but truly settled in Delhi for the past 35 years. The interaction revealed he was paying a rent of about 12 rs in munirka and when he vacated the room, the rent being released from his pocket was rs 6500.  On a sunday while leaving the Kali Bari i came across two men from Manipur who were working in a BPO taking space between 4.30 am to 11.30 am. For them Sunday was a holiday and rest of the days they had to set out for a BPO hideout where on occasions tea is served in a tray.
On a different outing towards Andrews Ganj, the tea coming from a vendor from Defence Colony market is truly refreshing given the application of tea bags and cups with no cracks. Tea from a shop inside Kotla is as well desirable.

The other day seeking a tea bag tray led me beyond Andrews Ganj with a realisation that taking this route can be tiresome as traffic can be multiplying and more due to a summer less hum. Way back i reached Kachori bhandar in Defence Colony which dishes out samosas in a sizeable sum. The sweet options are ok provided the sugary affection could be depleted by a fraction if not sum. As for a bus stop next to raj nagar,  the walk towards INA (kidwai nagar west) is a notable experience provided proper lighting could be provided. Though a desolate stretch, still this option could be tried as it gives another way to reach INA beneath a flyover. As for other desolate stretches in the national capital, the one near mehrauli bus depot needs mention. Instead of wasting resources in running ac buses, it is better to deploy personnel during night services as winter months bring to the fore the acceptance of things turning rough.  In all interactions across national capital have been less of a national babble and more to do with local clue.
