Chalo Chalo Chalo Chalo DILLI! - Part 2

 The first things we discussed were the plans for the day. We headed to Barakhamba Road where my dad’s office branch is situated. I realized it would be better if I left my luggage there so that I could easily roam around the city. After doing the needful, Gurpreet insisted we should visit Bangla Sahib Gurudwara. And what an experience it was! I was a kid when I visited Gurudwara once and had no memory of the same. Hence, it was a wonderful experience for me! We were then supposed to meet a friend, Nishant Jha (nishanu34), an old MSian but sadly he couldn’t make it as he was busy with his marriage preparations. The rest of the MSians were going to meet me before 12.30-1 pm. That’s when my eyes fell on Jantar Mantar and immediately decided to visit it. Gurpreet wasn’t ashamed to admit that she’s never been there although she has lived in Delhi since birth! This was a neatly maintained place and we both were happy we made a visit!



We then headed to the CCD (simply to charge my phone :P ). We got a bad news that Pranay might not be able to make it due to work issues. On the other hand, Shalu Dhyani called and me not knowing much about Delhi roads and places, I let her and Gurpreet decide the venue of meet. Finally, CP was decided as the place of meeting! Khaled bhai sadly wasn’t in town but his wife, Sana Khan, agreed to join!

We left CCD when we got news that Sana ji has reached. And what I saw gave me a pleasant surprise! Sanaji wasn’t alone…Khaled bhai was there too! Known for giving such surprises, bhai had cut short his Bangalore trip so that he could meet me! Hats off! Also present was Kanika Singh, another good friend! I was trying to find her contact number but failed but Khaled bhai did the needful! Tussi great ho!

We headed to Pollo Campero food joint, the place of meet. Pranay meanwhile agreed to attend. Shalu too was on the way! ROCKING! Kanika sadly had to leave due to work commitments! Kanika left and Shalu joined who too wasn’t aware about Khaled’s presence! It was a pleasure to see the writer of my short film in front of me flashing her million dollar smile! Kya yeh sach mein ho raha hai, I was still thinking!

We spoke about Rockstar and how badly Nargis acted in the film and sadly, it was time for Shalu to leave too. I assured her that I’ll be back soon and that’s when we’ll chat aaram se! Meanwhile, Pranay came and we hit off instantly. We discussed mainly about movies and also about certain irritating MSians (details won’t be provided!). The guy was immensely charming and would surely like to chat with him for hours!

Khaled bhai then reminded me that I have a flight to catch and adviced that I should head to the airport. He was sweet enough to drop me till there. Gurpreet and Sana ji too joined. I passed some of the important junctions of the city like India Gate, Nizamuddin, Lajpat Nagar, AIIMS etc. As I was looking out of the window, I was trying to soak in as much Delhi as possible. I was still in a daze that I actually managed to get there and meet my dear MSian buddies.

But as Khaled bhai said, this meet isn’t counted…you have to be back and stay here for couple of days. I second him totally. I need to visit this magnificent city once more and stay here for a longer time so that I can meet my MSian buddies and interact with them without any hurry whatsoever. But yet, this small Delhi meet on 15-11-2011 meant a lot to me! I was showered with love (and gifts too!). Thanks guys for making me feel special…thanks guys for giving me such a great time! Delhi indeed is a city of Dilwallahs!

Skin Problems And Its Herbal Treatment

  Faulty diet. Refined foods like white flour, sugar and products made with them, tea,coffee, and soft drinks deplete energy, bring about wrinkles, unattractive skin and premature aging.

Very often, our skin looks superficially clean; but they really are not. Dirt and dust particles can hide in the pores of the skin and clog sweat and sebaceous glands. Proper cleansing notonly removes all the dust, dirt and make-up, which accumulate during the day, but also stops the oil-secreting sebaceous glands from getting clogged. Several natural aids have been found useful in promoting healthy and beautiful skin. Lime Juice, Lime juice is an important natural aid for healthy skin .

Dastkar -The Nature Bazaar

  I always buy some fancy things in the exhibitions. I buy what I like & I don’t think of buying as an investment because the fashions change, different things go in and out of favour and values will go up as well as down. I buy to get enjoyment out of the piece for the years to come & if it becomes valuable then that’s an added bonus. Recently I visited Dastkar Exhibition “The Nature Bazaar” at Palace grounds, Bangalore. Dastkar is a society for crafts and craftspeople. It’s a useful organization that brings artisans of different parts of India under one roof to enable them to sell directly to the public avoiding middlemen. They conduct exhibition cum sales in various cities and give a boost to the exposure, sales and working dynamics of the traditional crafts in this modern age. Dastkar helps the crafts people to use their own skills & as a means of employment, income generation and economic self- sufficiency. I visited most of the stalls and I thoroughly enjoyed it. ...

Bellary Mining Scam - Scam Of The Century.

Image
  Will our country ever come out of scams? There is a scam in every single step in this nation. Bhopal Gas Scam, Bofors scams, IPL Scams, Flood relief fund scam etc. From past several weeks the issue of illegal mining in Karnataka has been rocking both the Houses. The political parties have insisted that nothing short of a CBI enquiry would bring out the truth on illegal mining, as it involved inter-state and international operations in view of the large-scale export of iron ore. Last week in Karnataka the opposition political party members stayed in the Assembly overnight, sleeping in the lobby, with no let-up in their demand for a CBI enquiry into what Leader of the Opposition termed a “Rs 20,000 crore scam”. The government, in its reply to a debate on illegal mining in the Assembly admitted that over three crore tonnes of iron ore was illegally shipped from ports of the state in the past seven years, including over one crore tonnes in the last two years. In the legislative Counc...
