The marriage to attend was scheduled in ghaziabad...on 26th eve...weather was unbearable...coolers and ACs were saving grace...stepping outside was all the more difficult...I was also wary of cold water and drinks...usually in our enthusiasm to combat heat, we tend to forget the impact the changing water temperature will have on throat...so from 26 th onwards I was just striking days out of my calendar...I survived 26th(checked)...so on so forth...the marriage happened with similar hoopla that indian marriages are popular for...everything happened peacefully, it was a good occasion for another reason as well, it gave me an opportunity to meet some of my relatives after a gap of almost 10 years. 4 days passed in a jiffy, Delhi by itself is going in reverse gear...there are townships, industries, rich and powerful but there are very limited trees...builders, governments and people, all seemed callous to the basic law of nature...the basic need of environment to have trees has been avoided completely...there is a constant cloud of smoke hanging in sky...it is visible from any corner of Delhi...but I think people have chosen to ignore it...power condition was good in Delhi but worrisome in Ghaziabad...there was a funny rumor...Ghaziabad's MLA is from BSP while UP govt is from SP so the power condition in Gbad was not good....going by the political situation, this could very well be true. :)...I did a lot of shopping in karawal nagar( one of the corner of Delhi)...took one ride in metro...it was good experience still...on a side note...the incoming stations indication inside the metro has been taken directly from Paris metros...thanks to Mr E srinivasan...delhi metros still looked and felt world class...
