The stay in Capital

Stay in Capital

Having returned to the national capital, it would be prudent to essay some thoughts on duration of the stay. During the stay had the chance to visit North Campus. Meals from IRCTC run canteen in Arts or Law faculty is one among fewer reasonable canteens run in the national capital. Rail Neer on occasions one finds hard to get in the canteen and the 10rs coca cola from a vendor outside the IRCTC run canteen is conducive in an era when plastic bottles and plastic money has become an irrefutable trend. There are other shops in and around Connaught Place that dish out kanch ka rs 10 coca cola.
For seeking return rail tickets before proceeding to the South had the opportunity to visit Nizamuddin station on two consecutive days. The rail ticket that i got showed a waiting status with the counter man suggesting the seat availability/confirm status would show sooner than later. Not convinced visited the reservation premises the second day to get a ticket for a train from Tambaram. On  another day visited civic centre near Minto Bridge. The complex is huge and the amount of energy that goes to keep it cool is mindboggling.

Even had the opportunity to visit Kashmere Gate Bus Terminal on a Saturday. Stayed inside for over five hours. The stay brought me face to face with some students hailing from Himachal studying in Chandigarh. A meeting with a Buddhist Monk was another redeeming feature. He came with a collection of flags which he hoped to send to Ladakh, a place he had been visiting quite often by air. His official assignments lent him the air advantage and his visits and stay had been quite extensive.
