Road less travelled...

After having spent as many as 30 years in a city, you tend to be familiar with most of its turns and curves... Or at the least know of or have heard of it all... But having spent over a decade knowing#connaughtplace it's surprising when you stumble upon a discreet cut in the road that you have missed all these years.. cos let's face it... There was never the time or energy to just wander... Moving in the city without an agenda or reason is the most improbable thought (unless that too is done on purpose!!). We specially go out of town and become the most heightened travellers and escapists (again on purpose)- not that i am ridiculing it... But i am just so pleased to have happened to this plan... to take this route today , and make acquaintance with this absolutely deserted road, secluded by the might of barricades, cos hello!!... #jantarmantar and i went to this apparently famous south Indian snacks cafe, operating from the side of the road selling dosas, utthapams and vadas like hot cakes during the day, and leisurely delicious snacks during the evening when you are famished and you deserve a reward for battling an exceptionally exhausting day.. when it's less crowded and more spacious! And not just by head count... But the added effect of calm and space (cannot stress enough on this point) that you experience courtesy such vehicle rid streets in the peak hours of the evening (reminds you of the morning after diwali and the evening after holi).. accentuated by pleasant weather and good company specially for someone who's a sucker for all such things and their rare amalgamation...
