i'm sure there is no cause to elaborate on the striking imbalance that the temperature curve of our beautiful city has towards the hellishly hot! so if nothing else it is for the contrast that really get the winters going. But then this is no ordinary winter is it? You guessed it, the delhi metro is what has really transformed it for me. Its like walking suddenly got catapulted up the transportation ladder . . way up. Isn't that just la dee da . . . now i can go for a 10 minute walk and find myself on a train to chandni chowk. And what is it with the clean clothes, lack of groping, spitting even staring is decidedly on the decline. I never realised it would be that simple to tether the endless mass of people unburdened by civic sense or god forbid politeness!
Then you walk out of the saket station to find a row of 10 dudes peeing right on the main road! So its only till the confines of the brightly lit sanitised corridors policed by the CISF that this sea change has its hold. But hey in the winter even the piddle centrals don't smell as much!
The street food is another of the reasons . . the endless array of small eats and the insatiable hunger that accompanies the cold just ice the walking cake!
I just wonder when Delhi will actually get Buskers and street art . . . even if only for 3 months a year!!
