The ride to Central Delhi
As different rides on different occasions defined the outing on days when the Sun had barely come out, the avowed aim was to seek interactions across a wide spectrum. On a day when the dtc bus had enough seats to accommodate all passengers, Bindu, the tea vendor at Delhi Race club, was no surprise. Having started from a time when each cup used to fetch him Rs 2, about 25 years ago, the same cup perhaps with a more energetic flavour made him collect rs 10 at present. The Delhi race club as the board suggests is functioning since 1940, with a round the year battery, the season losing some of its charm in May-June when the sweltering heat makes fewer to croon. It is all a gamble that we agreed on with the revelation coming the race starts after 2 in the afternoon which involves a game that is witness to a sizeable sum.
During an outing to Central Secretariat i came across a laundryman riding a cycle to work, enjoying the profession for the past 30 plus years. From a bus stand near Gurdwara Rakabganj, ample number of buses could be seen plying towards Hari Nagar, almost two to a minute amidst surroundings that had vendors selling peanuts.As the bus i and Bindu were in was of an old make, still among the best lots to run in the city, a body that is redone and exterior that could be strengthened would make these buses a true gem. As Baird Lane in Central Delhi brings forth a weather that could be split between no sunshine and some rain, the area around is evenly split between shops dealing in car parts, eating joints and general stores with a crowd that seeks to pursue different career course. Baird Lane and beyond is indeed brimming with a force that beams a smile that takes away expressions that could illustrate revulsion and bile. As for Odeon Sweets the snack option comprising chholey bhature is advisable given one bhatura should be gulped down followed by a a piece of banana. THe oily hit is not that bad but to keep yourself energised like a night rat, one serving of bhatura is all that one should bat. As for the cyber cafe in that area, the best part is if one intends to go beyond one hour for every 15 minutes a slip of rs 10 comes to look like as if you are taking a welcome shower. The area in and around Mandir Marg has a charm of its own, perhaps the secured environs suggest few are willing to step out to raise a night roar.
