Lazy Days

Small clip of Summer Holidays :-)

May be Clouds Have Feelings, Too

The evening starts out quiet As quiet as ever could be
But suddenly a stormy night Becomes a reality
The clouds dump out tons of rain And it falls so very fast
Then suddenly its clear again
And you see the moon at last

It was a long and tiring day, but still able to capture some of the glimpse of the city.

Shanti Path - Chanakya Puri, New Delhi

Spotted these kids with big business promotion umbrella near Mahipal pur. He and his friends were playing some sort of game and which I hardly understood. But for a moment I forget all my driving tiredness and business tension.

Children-Of-The-Lesser-God

Common scene on Delhi Roads. But you can easily make out that kid is least interested in begging. Instead he is more interested in the life or you can say the different world inside the car. Shot taken at Dhaula Kuan , New Delhi

Bonhomie Brigade : By Hirak Kanti Dutta

12th July 2008

The sun didn’t settle properly, and G-8 families from different parts of the city (naah, correction, one came from pink Jaipur) was gearing up, for a simple gathering, a family reunion to be precise. The included – Shekhar Patil and Family, Barfani Baba and Family, Manav and Family, Priyank and Family, Mohit and Family, Me and Sangeeta, Vinod Aggrawal and Pritam Shitoot. The destination was Dilli Haat, a favored spot for families, shopalcholics and foodies. Weatherman’s monsoon predictions were taken by a pinch of salt, and nothing unusual about it. But for a change, the weatherman had the last laugh, so had Indra, the God of thunder and rain. But by the time the G-8 families realized the mistake of an open air dinner, everyone soaked to the bones. But hey, nobody complained.

Loads of dinner destination discourses later, the G-8 arrived at a majority to select Nirulas’ Potpourri in CP as the new venue, leaving Dilli Haat foodyards in a lurch for that is just not the ‘right’ place to be during rains or thunderstorms. Surprisingly, the parking wasn’t a problem in CP on a weekend evening, that too when we were pretty late. But again, we had to move to some other restaurant, owing to lack of space to accommodate such a star studded, high profile G-8 members, and a quick query for a place for 17 drenched VVIPs made us move into Amber Restaurant below the Potpourri.

The moment we were inside, men huddled to one corner, and women and children were given the free rein to order whatever they like. The fluids of influence have already been injected into each member, and they cheered for the cameras with ‘V’ signs and the brimming mugs .

New ‘concept’ names floated in the air, men gloated over the goat-meat and chicken, women and children frolicked with fresh stories, but one thing was clear, everyone was enjoying one step at a time, no rancour or feeling of animosity towards anyone, no protocols breached, everyone remembered all the good times together, earlier and now, and pledged friendship over everything else. No G-8 summit dinner meeting at any destination till date was ever so successful. The G-8 members expressed their solidarity towards the ‘free spirit’ (not alcohol, dumb) with which each man is born and pledged for regular G-8 summits each month and entertainment rides every two months. This pledge was taken over ice-creams on Rajpath after which each member bade each other adieu.

In conclusion, I must say, that the next meet will be more successful when we expect more friends who missed this meet join us.
