Something really disturbing happened to me on this trip to Delhi..nostalgia. For a self-proclaimed nomad like me that is the worst feeling to have. Its the first step into the descent into staying rooted somewhere.
A few days in this city and I experienced the myriad of lives you could possibly live here.
1. The Gurgaon Yuppie - Slog it off during the week and hit the malls on Friday evening with office folks for a beer or two.
2. Work it out around CP - Meet a friend for coffee or a movie in CP and then head home
3. Work for the Govt - stay in a palatial house in Lutyens Delhi, hang out at CP or Khan market and top it off with an ice-cream at India Gate
4. Live a miser's life in University campus @ JNU/DU and have the most fun in the world while doing it.
5. Work it off in the city and head home to Dwarka on the metro, while watching all of Delhi on your way to and fro.
Perhaps Delhi is a better place to visit rather than stay? My personal experience says otherwise because when you're tired of it, just drive off into the Mountains or the Dessert, its close enough... or if you have a death wish into Uttar Pradesh!! Its closer.
Happy 2020 to All!
