A week back , sitting in my hostel room I was thinking about two old friends of mine from tuitions... the name of all three of ended with the same sound and the three of us were the only three girls who were regularly irregular with our assignments....at least we were not the nerdy types(we used to convince ourselves) who wore round rimed specs oiled their hair and never put deo...I remember this one girl, she had this horrible body odour and she’d always come and sit next to me, Onisha would say ‘Ally she likes your Deo’....Esha would say ‘maybe she is in into you’ and sir would say “the three sha’s stop talking” and the whole room would start laughing. And then the fights we used to have with this other huge girl...dunno why she had so much of attitude...was basically a loner...and this loser guy after Esha...man all our lives were so screwed up then, since all three of lived in dwarka (diff secs) we wud hangout everyday after class...not Esha that much but Onisha and I would go the vans that served Chinese food all of’em parked in the same chowk one on each side..that s one of the best thing about living in dwarka you’ll find hawkers after every two step mpst of them selling Chinese food. So Onisha and I would go to anyone of these and eat just one thing MOMOs it was fun.
Talking about dwarka it is in south west Delhi and It was known as Pappan Kalan in the history and now it is being developed under the 'Urban Expansion Projects' of the Delhi Development Authority. The largest residential Area in Asia, it is supposed to have a "Zero Tolerance" policy towards common misuses of land and the transgressions of any existing laws and regulations which are frequently thought to be flouted in other parts of Delhi. It is also frequently referred to as the "Model Township".
There are two main markets one in sector6-10 and the other one is ashirwad chow which comprises or the markets of sec-4,5,12 and 11. When I had moved in here in the year 2004 the ashirwad chowk market was almost non existing with two three local aggarwal shops and a couple of groceory stores and end no of real estate offices and then sun dawned upon the market in 2006 Pizza major Dominos which was closely followed by Pizza Hut probably the largest in delhi with a maximun of 25 tables and a week after the first (only for now)
coffee shop in Dwarka opened to be precise Costa Coffee...and the food there was free of cost for the first three days ..if only I had known..anyways and slowly many family restaurants opened, and so did two major sports brand Reebok and Addidas opened their showrooms in Dwarka which was followed by Pizza corner in the Sec-6 market but it is was not until 2007 that the market became highly populated with major brands opening their showrooms here, major brands like Lee, Levis, Wrangler, Newport university, The Raymond shop, flying machine, Berco’s and latest I have heard is that KFC has opened its chain in Ashirwad chowk and also an upcoming Resto-bar....man I can’t wait to go to Delhi because my home is right next to the market. Whenever I’ve been to Delhi in the past one and a half years I always take a walk through these markets, everything one needs can be found here one shop I really love this store Kitchen Affairz in the sec-12 market it specializes in herbs and spices and other food materials which are a little difficult to get in the ordinary grocery shops.
So ya back to old friends..It was in the 11th-12th grade tuitions when the three of us joined the same tuition centre where the teacher hated the three of us...for obvious reasons...we for some reason never bunked classes but regulary went to class with incomplete or undone assignments and talk and talk and talk, maybe it was something with that room...and after class Onisha and I would stand out this society (Sanghamitra...for reasons only we both know) and talk until dark during summers and till our parents came to pick us up during winters.... even though it was a five minute walk from my parents place I used to wait and chat about college and stuff..about what profession each of us will pursue and how we'll somehow join our work and stuff...crazy dreams I guess only girls do dat. It’s like those kind of days you’d do anything to live all over again. But yeah it kinda got lonely sometimes here because most of my friends from school lived in south Delhi and rarely came this side..but it was cool coz i had few good friends.
So after 12th I went out of Delhi to pursue higher studies and last I met Onisha was a day before I left we cried, we hugged, we ate momos we had coffee at Costa coffee, and we promised to stay in touch whenever I came back to Delhi, but after my first semester in november 2007 when I came back I tried her no. It was not in use , I asked Esha if she had any clue about her , she said no, and then I remembered that she was supposed to be moving to Vasant kunj in south Delhi, and I dint have any of her new numbers and it was very difficult to track her because I dint know any of her school friends coz we were friends from tuition, and she never went online ,dint even had a mail id, she thought it was all a waste of time and she had better things to do. After a couple of days I gave up trying.
A week back like I said I was thinking of those days and wondering if I’ll ever meet my friend again...maybe 5 years down the line we would bump into each other over the coffee shop, or maybe some office......so anyways two days after that I was just checking all my mail accounts mail, networking sites, and to my surprise I had a friend request from her on one of the networking sites I was on...and it took me by surprise I thought it must be some other girl by the same name...but then I read her scrap which said ‘hey ally rem me we went to tuitions together..so whr have u been? and not o flatter u but u r the reason I joined orkut..coz I was missing’...hmm so I was surprised coz it was all so sudden , it felt like one minute I am thinking bout her the next thing I knw we are joking about the good old days
Sometimes things happen when you are least expecting them...no... my bad its always like that for some people like me..lol
I am dying to go to KFC...there is no pleasure like just walking to KFC for once and walking back with two bucket full of chicken without much effort.... lolz...i love that place....
