A whirlwind of a holiday in Delhi

Another holiday comes to an end, there is that urge to stay for just a little more. But all good times must come to an end.

Delhi has been awesome! I loved every moment of my holiday- right from getting out of the T3 terminal into a misty Capital city which just turned 100 to meeting my Dad. From getting annoyed with that guy from church on Christmas eve only to have a laugh at it later, to spending a Christmas away from my family and to have cookies and gift's given to me by my extended family.
Attending a Syrian Christian wedding - Delhi style was just an awesome experience to meeting cousin's I've never met before only to realise we all hit it off pretty well (Touchwood) to travelling from one end of Delhi to the other end to cover some of the major sight seeing spots and shopping spots in less than 20 hours to the going up and down flyovers to being stuck in Traffic to hearing Kolaveri Di being played all over which nearly led me to ask myself- "Why this Kolaveri DI?".
To spending time playing games and chatting with a number of people on Facebook to just lazing around to getting up late each day.

Jumping on and off a Metro in crowded Delhi to going shopping only to realise people think Delhi is cheap and reasonable when Bangalore is a hundred times better for it's price and selection.
The misty mornings and evenings to the feeling that the days were actually eaten up by the night. Delhi you have proven the well known fact that time flies by when you are enjoying yourself, though it also flies past in an exam hall. (And I really don't enjoy myself in an exam hall)
To going to church on New Year morning to give that guy dirty looks, only to realise that the new year changed me! (Though I would still love to give that guy a piece of my mind)
The wonderful feeling of walking through the Inner and Outer circle in CP! The feeling of not being in India only to realise that I was in the Capital City of India when someone spits in front of me. The Crusing around the area's of the embassy's to feel that we were jumping countries in no time!
The indulgence of the Dilli cuisine- which was made a must by my Dad- from the Channa Batura to the Lassi to the Kulfi's to the Biriyani to the Pulao and the special Fried Chicken. The taste of South India in Saravana Bhavan only to miss the South and my family.
The walk's in the INA market when I was craving for something homemade- The lovely Appam and Beef roast I had there. To realise that I was not the only one feeling home sick. Delhi has never felt like a new place cause I was always surrounded by people I know or by people from God's Own Country which makes life all the more easier for any Mallu. No wonder they say even if you go to the Arctics you'll find a Mallu selling Chai. Im so glad their all over.
Holidays- It really did go by soon! I'll miss you, Delhi, Im coming back SOON! Be good to my Dad till then!

Till then here is a recipe someone invented, It's called "Recipe for Delhi". Maybe I should try this out in Bangalore.

Why this Kolaveri Di?

When my friend first made me listen to this song I didn't understand a single word! None- Absolutely None! And the next day it had 8 million hits! Whoa!
No longer does sensibility make sense. I guess that's what the living are now trying to focus on. Things we don't completely understand cause it is easier to fool us that way!
Well the song, It has got over 32 million hits. Awesome! Sung by Dhanush, Rajnikant's son in law, it was a hit! A combination of 2 people who have influenced people the most in the Entertainment industry.
Rajnikant with his Robot hit, I did go see it in theatre, dragging my entire family along! Even though we understand only a bit of Tamil. The reason I went was to see what the big deal was about. Big Deal it was and after that for over a year we got forwards in our inbox saying that Impossible was literally nothing for Rajnikant!
And now Kolaveri Di... I find myself pretty good at singing the song. Thanks for all the people who play the song all over.
This was released during my semesters and Oh Boy! The lyrics was immediately changed into a version for all of us writing our exams! It was a Big Hit! We found ourselves trying to sing the lyrics with the tune of the main song. We also got a forward saying if it was such a big hit with only Dhanush singing the song, If Rajnikant had it would have become our National Anthem.
A holiday to the Capital city of India made me realise that this song was a super hit! In order to indulge in the taste of the villages around, I found myself going to their markets, and there it was - the song being played everywhere! I go for a Syrian Christian Malayali wedding - Delhi style and there again it was playing. I travel by car from place to place and on the radio that's what we have. You switch frequencies for a break from the song- Nope! You have it being sung in the Ghazal version and what not!
Truly, it's time for us to get senseless and get creative!
