Last week was more interesting for me.Went to Delhi,spent good time with my sister and niece.After a day long rest I started with my habit of moving around and called few friends to join me.
Yugander , my batch mate agreed to come with me to some near by places.
I asked him for nice place to eat and bird watching ;-)..
His instant reply was Cannaught Place.
Reached CP , ate like hell and but wheather their was too hot like girls :-).
Got chance to look at few novels on the footpath but i was in no mood at that time to buy them.So left the place without any books.
Evening for dinner as we where too late , we went to JNU which is near to IIT Delhi.
Ah!! What a place....
Awesome campus full of greenery.
And the affect of CPM was quite visible on the campus.....
After finishing food.I asked my friend, arey yaar it wud nice if get an auto from here.
Yugu : No way dude !!....Its too late now.
Me : Go to hell, Do anything I dont no....Call just dial or wat ever....
...i cant walk now.
Yugu : Wat is just dial ??... ( With a WTF look on his face )..
Me : Just dial .... gave him some bashan on just dail....
Yugu : Ok ..leave it,I will try for lift...many cars are going from this side...lets try.
Me : Who will give us lift at this time dude...come on yaar do something....
After 5 mins of silence ...We heard some noise , Blue Santro was nearing us..
Yugu got into action ..Car stopped and we stepped in.
Me : Ah finally .....I felt relief ...
Uncle ,who was in the driver seat looked like an old man may be around 60 yrs.
Uncle : Are you guys from south ??
I was thinking,Was It was written on my forhead..
Yugu : Yes sir , how did you say that?
I could not stop and laughed out... yugu was behaving as if this man was going to give him some grades ( he was trying to impress him )....
Uncle : With a feel of proud on his face...I can identify people and tell everything about them..
Me(thinking) : Oh ya!....know we have to hear all this for 10 more mins...
tick tick 1 tick tick 2....when are we going to reach main gate...
Uncle : So you people did not get seat in south IIT's , madras,chennai bombay.
Me(thinking) : Chennai , Madras are these 2 different ??
Uncle : contd.... So you landed yourself in this alien land....you people dont like hindi rite??....how do you manage yourself?...
Yugu : Sir , its not like dat...I actually got seat in chennai also...
Uncle cut him shot and told leave it beta ....its not your fault...
Government has to take care of all this...
Me (thinking) :Wat ??...why govt. came here ??
Uncle : You may be facing hell lot of problems here because of hindi....
Its actually govt fault..How can they make one language as national ...
They should not do that...Now look at me,I speak malayalee,and u r tamil and how can we both communicate in some other language(hindi) which we dont no?...
Though he was talking non-sense but had some logic there....
Both of us were from hyderabad and telugu ..
But as you see , popular notion ...if your from south ,then you are a madrasi and of course for some people you are even a tami..
Ah finally we reached main gate.Uncle showed some slip to the security guys over there.He stopped the car outside the gate.Before leaving he asked us.
So you people are from??...
Me: Smiling ....Uncle Hyderabad ....
Yugu: yes yes....
Uncle: Oh really....I stayed there for 2 yrs ... near lotukunta (now where is this place in hyd ?? )...
Me: Oh great ....
Uncle : ok young boys....I have to leave now...
Yugu and Me : thanks uncle....gud nite...
P.S:- Above picture was taken at some other place (President's House) not at CP...
