A Day Well Spent

Its been a long time since i wrote here...primarily because of all the work my college requires me to do...but yesterday was the day I just needed to write about! It was my day out with my best friend of 9 years (yes! that is half our lives..). Our little plan was to visit the Christmas Carnival on at the German House and come back home like sweet little girls...but that wasn't meant to be..if the two of us are meeting after so long...

We started our day auspiciously, with me waiting for her for nearly 20 minutes (don't kill me for putting this here..:) i can edit it out if you want..!!!)....and then going round and round the venue, unable to find it...Its really funny how Delhi people love giving wrong directions... For a ride of 30 minutes, we took nearly 60...nonetheless, we entered the venue with 100 watt smiles...finally made it!!!

The exhibition was one of the best i have seen, with super-yummy waffles, German beer ( we didn't taste it!), bookmarks and identical notebooks... There was one hairband with Santa Claus on top that i regret not buying...:( But lets move on...after going around the exhibition 6 times, we reluctantly moved out...On the road again, we decided to visit Connaught Place...hunger thundering in our bellies...

so our next stop was the Delhi Food Fest...From Germany, we found ourselves in a typical Delhi crowd, with people elbowing each other for the food coupons...Gone was the sophistication we had found ourselves drowned in just an hour ago...Have you ever had dal baati with chhole bhature?...try it..makes an awesome combination...

As if this wasn't enough, we went round the entire inner circle...not really window shopping...just talking and walking! Our last stop was the Youth Fest in the central park..too bad..we were two hours too early for it...

Trust me...we do a lot of random things together..our visits and trips are never planned...but this was something big even by our standards...a day so random that both of us will remember it for a long long time to come...especially because we both ended up wearing the same clothes, same color combination...That happens to us...

Dedicated to you, Nayantara Nath...
