going 360 degrees...

so dis post is entirely 'on demand' by a frd....
i never thought i ll move out of delhi... for any reason... but den its not always the way u think... i got married .. and my destiny took me to a no man's land 'capital of gujarat' and its not ahmedabad... so coming from delhi to such a small place was indeed a shock...
thgs tht startled (read drove me nuts)me-

1. peacocks, monkeys, cat,snakes is a normal view in the garden.. all sorts of birds hop in..one can often see cattle too...
2. no concept of home delivery.. they gave me the most blank look....
3. for no rhyme or reason ppl go out at night..and sit at the road side pavements...pavement is still better... wat if i say they sit on the divider....
4. the overhyped garbha thg... it didnt impress me at all... all of them dance the same... in circle.. they go round an round....
5. no traffic.. and no driving sense... its easier to drive in delhi anyday...
6. no mall (go 35 km and u ll have one) whr in delhi its just 5 minutes drive from whr i stay...
7. No pizza hut..no McD... these are basics i m talking bout...

but then everythg has its positive side... from 58 i came down to 50... but then in a world of ppl dieting to lose weight... u have me who started having three glasses of milk in a day to increase the weight.. being thin didnt suit me at all... and the reason being... i or the world fainted couple of times... so now me all smiling at 55...

but soon i strtd liking the place..nevertheless i enjoy my own company... and i feel if u cant enjoy ur own company u cant enjoy anythg else.. it certainly gave me chance to know my self better...but den u learn to push the envelope a little more... and thats life!!!...

  1. Hey,Abhilasha,that's a nice post..and,I guess u echo what most people who move from metros like Mumbai and Delhi, to smaller cities,feel in the beginning..and then,they begin to enjoy the freedom and lack of hassles so much that they wouldn't think of going back to their metro,except during vacations..:)Though,haha-peacocks,monkeys,cats,snakes does make for an intriguing watch from the window..haven't been in any place like that.:)
