The Adventure.

On our way to Kanpur we had some real adventure in Delhi.

All the while we were thinking about the movie "Ek Chalis ki last local".

We left airport at 8:30PM to board a train. The departure time was 11:50 PM. Lot of time in hand we felt relaxed and thought of having a bite

at CP. En route to railway station from airport our cab got hit by a police gypsy from rear.

Police wale ne mari to 2 ghante ka panga.. finally things got sorted out after about 90 mins.

The million $$ question, why didn't we simply walked out of that place for railway station???

Our baggage was in the boot (of esteem) and because of the impact the lock of the boot got stuck.

In short we could not get our stuff. Tried pulling down the rear seat, but to add to the adventure the cab was CNG. So there was a big big cylinder in the boot.

No way we could pull out stuff from rear seat.

It was 10-10:15 by the time the police,phone calls to SP, FIR, negotiations, compromise, etc got through.

Now we started hunting for a mechanic who could break the lock.

10:30 in the night. Delhi. Dhanteras, everything is falling in place for missing the train.

We went to some place near Bangla saheb to get the boot open. 20 Min's wasted.

Our smart driver thought that something could be done at the "taxi stand" of Vasant vihar" (ppl from Delhi would have a better direction sense).

Time ticking.

Taxi stand.. not a person who can help.

We saw a "chabbi" wale ka number. the Driver miya thought that breaking the lock would help.

called up the chabhi wale bhaiya and he stays some place in Lodhi road - jor ganj something near the kharbara masjid.

Awesome.

Ek bechari larki (mekhla ) jisko train se jyada apne kapro ki tension ho rahi hai, aadhi raat ko agreed to go to some shaddy dark lanes of that area.

When we finally reached the "Masjid" it was already 11:05.

There were around 20 ppl who were waiting there under 1 street lamp. This was the only street lamp in that 200 mtr lane.

Boss.. PHATT GAYI.

All this while my dad was telling me that cab guys in Delhi work with cops and take the passengers to some shaddy place and rob them.

Wasn't everything just falling in place???? You bet YES.

to our relief and hard work of some 5 men (hatte katte), they were able to break the lock and untangle the hook holding the boot together.

11:20, the boot finally got open and we rushed to station saying thank to them and of course GOD.

the moment we came out of that lane.. the cabbie stopped.

What now boss???? "sahab dikki ko bandh du, nahi to khar khar karegi".

come on...

11:45 we finally made it to station.

All our arman of eating Chole bhature and Rajma chawal at CP were washed away.

One thing that I missed above, the moment police gypsy hit us, I called a friend, who was in Noida at that time (whom we were supposed to meet at CP).

We were finally able to meet him at station but his route map was something like this Noida, CP, Gurudwara, Vasant Vihar, Lodhi road, station.

in this entire stretch we were never able to meet him as by the time he would reach at one place, we would have left to the next destination.

Sitting in train me and mekhla had a really good laugh..

New York - The movie

It was only because that we had not been to a multiplex for almost two months that we went to see a movie.

I would say it’s not a must see one's, but okay types.Kat seems to have put on a bit in the first half (sigh.... she still looks pretty anyway) and John looks hunk as usual (I'm straight boss...) :)

Thankfully there are not many songs and in the movie. It's a predictable though. I was almost bugging her with possible upcoming twists / turns in the movie.

No - there are not many twist and turns, and as I said, it's a bit predictable. The story revolves around 9/11 incident (the effect mostly).

There are some scenes from the movie which look very real and have been picturized damm neatly.Nitin mukesh's Jr. has acted a bit better in this movie.

Won't tell any part of the story here (any more )

:)

It's okay to go and watch if you are really free and have no better thing to do.

The trailer shown in the beginning was of Kambakht Ishq (KI), it's appealing. Akshay has his charm as usual. This movie is a definitive go for us.

Coming back to New York, I would rate it as 2.5/5

Lido Adlabs, I would rate 1.5 / 5 Waiting queue for parking and exiting after the movie is a real pain. Plus food court is closed boss. The only good thing that happened to that mall was Noodle bar, that’s history now.

All in all, it’s not the best thing to do on a Friday night to visit Lido mall and watch the movie - New York.

HOW TO MAKE A MAN HAPPY

Sweet Little Smile

The Pregnancy Fever

When one tends to notice things around, it seems to be very common.

For instance???

When we were thinking about purchasing a car, our eyes got stuck on i10. Whenever on road, we used to keep looking at i10’s. So many i10’s on road man. Red, black, cream, grey, silver…. They are on road in every color and not just few, lots of them.

When we were getting married (or engaged), we keep listening to stuff like… 

“you know so and so is engaged”, “so and so is getting married”.

The latest we keep hearing about is pregnancy. It’s not that we are planning for one presently.. but man… there are ton’s of couples getting pregnant around us.

At our wedding, there were at least 4 pregnant ladies  (first cousins).

And in last one week, we got this amazing news that 4 of our friends are pregnant.

As my wifey call’s it, this is nothing but The Pregnancy Fever :) 

Vacation

It so often happens that vacation turn out to be more tiring. A weekend, a week or for that matter a whole 15 days at times seems to be less and at end of it, you’re tired.

Since November all vacations / travels have turned out to be extremely enjoyable, superb and fantastic. The other common thing in all these vacations – end of it, we end up being super drained out. 

1st vacation was our (me and wifey) honeymoon. Fifteen days just flew by.

A Cruise from Singapore, couple of days on Singapore land and Bali, all were amazing. Every place had something exciting about it. Every place had an exclusive variety of food.

The cruise and Singapore was super tiring. Bali was a total different game though. Bali is amongst one of the most amazing places in SE Asia. I would like to contradict my first statement. Bali was super relaxing (some amazing SPA’s and ocean not more than 15 steps away from room, what else you want).

2nd trip – Amchi Mumbai. 3 days in Mumbai and we slept for not more than 4 hrs a night (who sleeps in a city like Mumbai???).

We just kept our bags packed. In 3 months made trips to Coorg, Kanpur, Delhi, Kota and Ooty (and still planning for more).

Phew!!

It so happens that on a vacation when you see so much to do, so many places to explore, so many different kind of ppl to meet – who can sit in a room/resort?

Exploring stuff / places adds true essence to your Vacation.
