On a Friday had the opportunity to access and explore middle section of Delhi primarily Connaught Place where tax notices are bothering some, with some eager to settle this despite no word yet from AGM. Left Home at 10.07 AM and go past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church, go past Shipyard House where people have no grouse. Security personnel Mr Shiv Narain is kind enough to inform that the way to Nauroji Nagar from back side has been done away with in the face of locks to the gate in a city where after witnessing hour to hour traffic some berate. Reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 10.18 with slew of buses going to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, the very place which has a fascination to receive and deliver trains to South India destinations. Board bus number 568 with thoughts on Tuglaqabad and Ballabgarh, prime places in vicinity of Delhi always in a functional mode, and where passengers from local trains deboard. Deboard at Kidwai Nagar and board bus number 548 (A) at 10.30 with spate of vehicles I had witnessed on ring road some moments ago looking crazy. Go past Safdarjung Flyover, Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandi Bhawan with my bus on Aurobindo Marg with no information sheet released from Durban.
Go Past Tughlaq Crescent, Go Past Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Road
Go past Tughlaq Crescent, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Road, Krishna Menon Marg, Sunehri Bagh Road, Udyog Bhawan with some sporting fabric of Raymond. India Gate is in thick blanket of haze and as one goes past Rail Bhawan and Chelmsford Club, there are directions to Rajiv Chowk (Named After Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi), GPO and Connaught Place hub. Reach Ashoka Road at 10.42 and Parliament Street at 10.43 with SBI New Delhi branch having visitors who can walk in free. Deboard at 10.45 at Palika Kendra and walk past Indian Bank, Kwality Restaurant (Since 1940) and here none getting haughty and pitching their tent. With shutters down in Regal and Rivoli Theatres one can presume avid cinema goers are missing exciting times with some vendors telling me that one can settle for other theatres like Plaza, and with little word on event management company Truza. Go past DELL Exclusive Store and reach Shivaji Stadium at 10.55 and I gaining entry to Naveen Tea shop in Gole Market roundabout and this looking fine.
Leave Tea House And Come Back To Connaught Place Again
Leave Tea House at 11.10 and procure set of pens from Janata Book Depot. Go past H Block Connaught Place, and come across ad of Experience Bengal. The Sweetest Part Of India. As I go past Indira Chowk which is named after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, I deem fit to board bus from Super Bazar and henceforth take 548 (C) and go past Jeevan Bharti premises and reach Palika Kendra which offers different choices. Go past FREE CHURCH, go past Rafi Marg, Central Secretariat with India Gate still looking to be wrapped in smog sheet and commuters taking the heat. As I go past Sunehri Bagh Road and reach Tughlaq Road at 11.53, the Bharat-ASEAN Maitri Park may at some point of time throw light on Sir Creek. Go past Safdarjung Madarsa, Safdarjung Airport and I getting down at Kidwai Nagar at 12.01 and here no weather to decode and some finding this to be fun. Board auto and reach home at 12.12 with Mr Raghubir at the helm with series of stores in Central Market almost ready to ring the bell.
This was an outing where I came across ad of Canara Bank Fulfilling Aspirations Of Young India and summing the sentiments across length and breadth is no trivia. This was an outing when none of the vehicles I came across pressed on accelerator, and moderate speed on moderate roads of Delhi may not bring in the need to take lessons from traffic tutor. This was an outing when India Gate back and forth was unable to take away the cauldron of obscurity, and this would stay as it is till winter battery. This was an outing that kept the line of communication open in a city that plays host to visitors primarily German. This was an outing that truly captured the winning moments of a city despite no thundershowers and we expect the same after a long pause.
