Seeking refills and visiting Malviya Nagar
Saturday was no different as prime on agenda was to seek writing pens refill. For the same visiting Janata Book Depot in Central Delhi came handy. While taking the metro ride some could be seen taking out their smartphones and putting back into the front pocket of their pant with a realisation that it would be as safe as paying a tax. With refills collected with no hassle it was time to take ride back to home beginning from Patel Chowk metro station. This was followed few hours later with a visit to Malviyanagar, something that was arduous enough given the exhaustive-and-not-declining walk template one had to engage.
FRom the moment one steps out of Haus Khas metro station, the silver lining is the subway as handy as the one in Andrews Ganj. After subway the walk is on the reverse side of traffic movement with a sighting of a bus stand near a flyover. THe ride on a bus that would drop you somewhere in the Malviyanagar market comes with another set of negotiating a way through different lanes on foot. Finally it is the declaration that a roundabout in F block would fetch two cyber cafes almost next to each other. As writing endeavour took a while by the time the return journey had been planned it was almost half past five in the evening and with a bus service from a distant bus stand truly looking to the possibility of a traffic jam.
The buildup of traffic on August Kranti showed the challenge one has to put up with, you could thank your stars you were on that side of road where there was less traffic roar. A stop before the shopping plaza made you understand the hazards of travelling in a packed to capacity bus where the destination you were supposed to get down was still far away. AS one entered the famous ring road adjacent to South Extension, the traffic looked to be little less alarming and of little stress. Traffic and trace of those who took the roads is not hard to sight, the never-to-be-seen dwindling numbers convey the necessity to bring a public transport that relieves one of this undesirable stress. Alarming was the sight of bumper to bumper traffic on August Kranti Marg with little attempt to turn a section of the movement to something adjoining a park.
During the visit to Malviyanagar came across two gentlemen from Srinagar. One perhaps with the name Ariq pursuing web designing from DElhi and staying in Dwarka. The interaction with them brought forward the pictures they had stored on their cell of snow drenched Kashmir. The weather in Kashmir was cold but any day less than Leh jolt. The Ladakh territory had been experiencing unbearable winter with the two boys stressing that though cold storage is an issue in Kashmir it is the berries that turn to wither away fast than apples.
On the whole Saturday filter brought interactions with those coming from Kashmir to those residing in Central Delhi and if ever one wants to proceed to distant areas with metro connectivity, metro should not be treated as an exercise in brevity.
