When the Sun was out in full strength
On another day when the Sun was out in full strength the stay in the park was of a smaller duration with a desire to visit Lajpat Nagar and do a story from the same. Taking 615 from Park bus stand, the Africa Avenue stoppage from where the link bus could be accessed was what i was looking at. Getting into 624, the conductor confirmed that the bus was in no way headed towards L Nagar, i getting down near Scindia villa. A vendor selling wallets could be spotted, sporting a smile a testament to his confidence to do a brisk business in winters. From here i walked all the way to a bus stand near S N Depot. Hoping the Yashwant Place complex would get me the requisite cyber cafe, i got down at a stop nearby.
There are two cyber cafes in the complex. Both seem to have run out of inspiration and ammunition. From 11.30 am it was almost four in the evening and the search for cyber cafes was taking me nowhere. Sighting 610 going towards Wazirpur Depot, i took this one hoping the cafe near mandir marg would come handy and the dividends would be equally handsome. By the time i reached the destination it was inching towards five with a fair confidence that a story could still be done. A wait for a bus at a stand opposite a church and school looked more enticing than engaging in a session of walking. After a considerable wait the bus came sighting among passengers those who have had no hesitation to spell their name. INside the bus a rethink on cafe and content led me to settle for a metro ride back home.
It was a day when the Sun looked to be promising. A day when the promise to do a story hampered by some erratic decisions and movements in buses that were not headed towards cyber tents. A day that was physically tiring and equally challenging to your mental faculties. But these could be overlooked as the Sun had been beaming at its best.
