When in Delhi

* go for a drive around India Gate, up towards north and south block and back. Preferably after a big dinner at a real restaurant. Eat double chocolate cornetto while sitting on your friends car and discuss how one day the sun will die out and ice cream will never melt.

*eat in Karims. Ignore the slaughterhouses on the way, past the dust and smoke in to the presence of the best meat known to mankind. Order the chicken curry, one roti and one sheermal. If your stomach hasn't started to burst, order kheer. It should now. Burst that is. Walk back to ITO to activate digestion.

*call friends and sit in random cafe in Khan. Talk aimlessly about career and love and life and movies and things. Preferably after having had dinner and watched a movie with parents. Sort of rounds out the whole day.

*go to CP and get drunk in the middle of the day in Blues. Its okay, noone will know by the time you reach home, plus the waiters tend to leave you alone. Avoid doing this on your own. Take someone special (heeeeeeee) otherwise you're an alcoholic.

*go to DU and meet up with working aquaintances, well former working aquaintances, who will take you to Barista for coffee and always pay. Chat about economics and america and profs and ppl. Walk through Kamla Nagar wondering how students afford branded clothes.

*Go to colleges - Dschool, Stephens - and try to put yourself 2,3,5 years ago in the past and realize you have forgotten what it was like although you can never forget it. You have grown now, you tell yourself. You have done what it was you wanted to do.

*Sit at home wondering what why and when will life decide to sort itself out and behave properly.

A bit heavy on the nostalgia, what? Welcome back blog. Lets see if I treat you better this academic year.
