The weather last night in Delhi was straight out of a Hollywood romance.. cold but not chilly, windy not dusty..and leaves falling from every single tree covering New Delhi in its dense foliage.
So roomie @nitinsgr and I decided to venture out for a short trip at midnight, after a home movie session and inspired by the weather that would make any biker want to just get out and feel the road. Our initial plan was to cover the ring road.. but after watching the mayhem of trucks on the ring road well past midnight, we decided to take the right turn into Chankyapuri from under the Moti bagh flyover. And boy what a decision it was.. we all know that Chanakyapuri is one of the most beautiful parts of Delhi, and at night it just turns on the magic several notches up.
By the time we reached Connaught place after falling in love with Delhi a few hundred times over it was drizzling! The point at which one has to thank the weather gods for knowing exactly what one wants out of a ride. We decided to take a break at the only midnight place to be in Delhi. Panditji’s paan place outside Claridges.. It was raining by this time.
Standing by the golden yellow vapor lit roads, under heavy drizzle..I think just re-discovered why this city really means to me.. and I tweeted
“Dilli shehar nahi, ek shauk hai”
Well what more do I say? wet and energized from the short about 40km spin through empty, tree lined city.. I hit the sack curled up like a baby.. Another day lived, the way I wanted..
Here is the route we took
Try it some day.. before summers hit.
Test
Awesum fun
